Bel Lago Venture

Bel Lago Vineyard & Winery, nestled in the rolling hills of Cedar, Michigan, lives up to its name—Italian for “beautiful lake”—with stunning views overlooking Lake Leelanau. Since opening in 1999, this family-owned winery has become known for its exceptional variety and quality. With over 100 grape varieties grown on 37 acres, including Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Riesling, and some rare European cultivars, Bel Lago creates an impressive lineup of red, white, and sparkling wines that reflect the cool-climate character of northern Michigan.

Guests are invited to enjoy wine tastings year-round, either indoors or on a peaceful outdoor patio that captures the vineyard’s lakeside charm. In addition to their wines, Bel Lago also produces a selection of craft hard ciders made from local apples, offering something for every palate. With a strong commitment to sustainable growing practices and a reputation for excellence—evidenced by high marks from critics—the winery offers a relaxing, scenic experience that combines great taste with northern Michigan hospitality.
