In lieu of the single estate model, LFC is a collection of grape and apple growers located throughout Northern Michigan dedicated to growing fruit for our wine and cider. Located in the urban setting of the former Traverse City State Hospital campus known as The Village, LFC creates an array of balanced white wine, red wine and hard cider. Every bottle tells the story of the farm, the vintage and the winemaker's dream of sharing it all with you.

This could be your Tuesday afternoon. You have free will. But a bottle of local wine. Go to the beach. Who knows how man...

Traverse Food and Wine - what an amazing weekend👏

It is such a privilege to be able to work with Northern Michigan grapes. It’s an even greater privilege to be surrounded by such inspiring and innovative, top-tier chefs and restaurants that make our wines taste even better.

We were apart of some incredible showcases where wine experts got to dive deep into the stories of our wines and highlight the little intricacies that make Left Foot wines and Northern Michigan wines so special.

A huge shoutout to Susan Kostrzewa (Susan Kostrzewa) for selecting us to be apart of her fave five, and to Wind Dancer Sailing Adventures for having us aboard to drink our wines within the waters that help our plants thrive!

Thank you to our volunteers for helping during The Grand Tasting, and to everyone that came and supported.

Traverse City Food & Wine we cannot wait for year 3! Until next time, Prost🥂

We’ve had Sarah on our full time staff for five years today. She’s our Tasting Room Supervisor and Wine Club Assistant, but that title just doesn’t quite cover all she does. Sarah knows our wine club members and regulars (and their dogs) better than anyone; she holds things down through the slowest days of winter, and can juggle an entire patio in the craziest days of summer; she’s a skier, a sailor, a dog mom to Sunny, and a jewelry maker; she’s cold all the time and she sneezes in twos; she gets all our labels approved, assembles the boxes for club releases, and makes sure we always have both toilet paper and copy paper. Where would we be without her? Come in and raise a glass to Sarah this week - and by the time you leave, she’ll probably have signed you up for the wine club! 🥂
