Discover
the Unexpected.
Dablon Vineyards & Winery is a family-owned estate nestled in the rolling hills of Southwest Michigan, situated just inland from Lake Michigan. We craft exceptional wines from hand-picked grapes grown on our unique terroir. Named for New World explorer and Jesuit priest, Claude Dablon, who planted French varietals on Michigan soil in the 1600s, we celebrate the unexpected beauty and bounty of nature in every glass.
The Story of
A Michigan Winery
Our story began thousands of years ago when glaciers carved a dramatic hilly moraine in Baroda, Michigan, depositing stones, rocks, minerals, clay, sand, and gravel. In 2009, we added our own chapter by planting our first four acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Today, our family-owned estate encompasses 75 acres, with 45 acres of vineyards proudly contributing to Michigan Wine Country.
The soils of Southwest Michigan, combined with a climate remarkably similar to Burgundy and Bordeaux, create ideal conditions for vinifera grapes. Perched atop one of the highest points in Baroda and moderated by nearby Lake Michigan, our vines benefit from frost protection and an extended growing season.
Our distinctive terraced vineyard blocks follow the rolling hills, with stone-lined walls that ensure excellent drainage, prevent erosion, and create a stunning landscape.
Exceptional wine starts with exceptional grapes. We hand-plant and carefully nurture every vine on our estate. By blending traditional winemaking methods with state-of-the-art equipment, we craft rich, vibrant, complex, and elegant wines full of flavor.
