About Us

Bel Lago Ventures

Nestled along the shores of Lake Leelanau, Bel Lago is located near the village of Cedar, just 18 miles from downtown Traverse City, Michigan. A short drive from beautiful Leland, crystal-clear Glen Lake, and the famous Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, our winery and cidery is en route to some of northern Michigan’s most treasured destinations.

With views of the lake and our well-established vines, there’s no better place to enjoy a glass of wine or cider.


Established in 1992, Bel Lago began serving wine on the edge of Lake Leelanau in 1999. Today, our northern Michigan winery is known for crafting flavorful and complex red, white and sparkling wines. We take pride in growing over 100+ varieties of grapes at our vineyards in nearby Cedar and scenic Northport near the shores of Lake Michigan. Varieties include local favorites Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer and Riesling, in addition to rare varieties like Auxerrois, Siegerrebe and Cayuga White.

With an emphasis on cultivation, we firmly believe in the adage that “wine is made in the vineyard” – and the results speak for themselves. Our attention to detail and focus on the grape sets our wine apart from other northern Michigan wineries. Stop in and taste for yourself!
