Good Harbor

Over 175 acres of Good Harbor’s prime vineyard sites are dedicated to growing and producing Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Grüner Veltliner, and Pinot Noir varietals. We also grow an assortment of Merlot, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Zweigelt, Lemberger, and Cabernet Franc. Each vine is carefully cultivated by our Harbor Hill vineyard management team. They work closely with our award-winning Harbor Hill winemaking team and together know precisely when is the perfect time for harvesting to achieve the best wine possible. As a result of this team work, Good Harbor wines consistently over delivery for the price.

How this company makes an impact

Made in Michigan

Good Harbor makes a selection of cool-climate red, white and sparkling wines from Northern Michigan.

The Simpson family wanted to create a high quality Michigan wine for consumers to enjoy at an affordable price. This was the plan put into place when they opened the doors of Good Harbor Vineyards back in 1980. Great wine doesn’t need to come at an extravagant cost. Bruce Simpson studied viticulture and oenology at the University of California Davis to begin his journey as a local winemaker. Once he graduated, he and his wife, Debbie, planted their vineyards and opened Good Harbor Vineyards. With their many years of research and development, they were able to create an extensive vineyard. The second-generation team of brother Sam and sister Taylor Simpson now own and operate the winery on the Leelanau Peninsula.
