Names Dablon Vineyards Best Winery In The Midwest
Credit ancient glaciers for ideal grape-growing conditions—similar to France’s Burgundy and Bordeaux regions—in southwest Michigan. But raise a glass to the Dablon crew for hand-planting vines and hand-nurturing the 17 varietals they craft into more than 30 wines, including some unusual to the area (such as Malbec and Petit Verdot). The indoor tasting room uncorks a warm vibe, and a shady outdoor area overlooks the vineyards. Live performances top off weekend tastings.
Exceptional Wine
comes from exceptional grapes.
We hand-nurture our grapes from the time they are planted until the grapes are harvested from our beautiful southwest Michigan vineyard. The care and attention we take in growing our grapes results in vibrant and distinctive wines.

COMMENTARY
Observations about the Dablon Experience.
“Dablon Vineyards & Winery is one of my favorite places to visit. The tasting room is beautiful and welcoming in any season and we love the wine and warm welcome. I’ve been fortunate enough to try many vintages from Dablon over the years, and I keep a couple of bottles in my cellar for special events. When I visit a winery, I always look around to see if everyone else is having fun, and it never fails: Dablon makes people happy!”
“Before you wine snobs pshaw the notion of “Midwest” and “Napa Valley” co-existing in the same sentence, take a few swigs of Dablon’s 2015 Estate Red Blend or Domaine Berrien Cellars’ 2016 Crown of Cabernet, and then we’ll talk.”
“What sets Dablon apart from its peers? A couple things do, in my view. First, their Burgundian-type wines are very good, but Dablon’s overall strength is in age-worthy Bordeaux style reds. This puts them in relatively rare company in Michigan, but what sets them apart from even from the other winemakers that produce strong is their willingness to experiment with different varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are relatively rare in Michigan, but Malbec, Tannat, Tempranillo, and Petit Verdot are almost unheard of. Nebbiolo is only grown one other place in the state to my knowledge, and as noted above Carmenere is probably unique to Dablon.”
