There’s something about Leelanau in December that brings out the heart of the season—quiet snow-covered mornings, long dinners with friends, and the simple joy of sharing something meaningful with the people we love. Around here, wine is often at the center of those moments, and it’s why we’ve curated three holiday bundles designed to make gifting a little easier (and a little more delicious).
Whether you’re shopping for a host, a family member, a neighbor, or the wine enthusiast in your life, our Holiday Gift Guide brings together some of our favorite bottles—each one thoughtfully crafted, Michigan-made, and ready to wrap.
Below, we’re sharing a closer look at each bundle and why it might just be the perfect fit for someone on your list.
A Taste of Blustone: Two of Our Favorites
If you’re gifting for someone who loves discovering new wines—or someone who’d appreciate a little taste of the peninsula—this two-bottle set is a beautifully simple choice. It features:
- 2023 Ad-Lib – Easygoing, expressive, and one of our most beloved blends. Fruit-forward with soft structure, it’s the bottle we reach for when friends drop by or when we want something food-friendly and unfussy.
- 2024 Latitude – Bright, refreshing, and distinctly cool-climate. Latitude captures everything we love about Leelanau whites: crisp aromatics, lively acidity, and a clean finish that works everywhere from seafood dinners to holiday appetizers.
Together, these two offer an approachable but thoughtful introduction to Blustone—perfect for hosts, coworkers, neighbors, or anyone who enjoys a memorable Michigan-made gift.
The Holiday Table: A Trio for Gatherings, Dinners & Celebration
If you’re attending holiday parties this month—or hosting a few yourself—this three-bottle set covers all the bases. It’s curated for versatility, balance, and pairing beautifully with the season’s most festive foods.
Inside you’ll find:
- 2022 Winemaker’s Red (92 points) – A standout vintage with depth, warmth, and structure. Rich red fruit meets smooth, balanced tannins—ideal for roasts, charcuterie boards, or long winter evenings.
- 2024 Chardonnay Reserve – A polished, cool-climate Chardonnay that blends elegance with freshness. A favorite for holiday dinners, especially when butter, herbs, or seafood are involved.
- 2024 Blu Secco – Crisp, bubbly, and celebratory, Blu Secco has become our must-bring bottle for toasts, gatherings, and the moments that call for something lifted and joyful.
If you need a gift for your holiday host—or you want something that sets the tone for your own table—this trio is a win.
The Winter Cellar: Three Reds for the True Aficionado
For the serious wine lover, the collector, or the person whose holiday wish list always includes “a really good bottle,” we created a set that highlights some of the most age-worthy reds in our cellar.
This elevated trio includes:
- 2022 Winemaker’s Red (92 points) – Structured and expressive, with the kind of depth that rewards patience.
- 2023 Pinot Noir – A cool-climate Pinot with bright red fruit, gentle earthiness, and the smooth, elegant character that makes northern Michigan Pinots so compelling.
- 2021 Merlot Reserve (91 points, Forbes) – Full of ripe plum, savory spice, and silky complexity, this Merlot reflects a standout vintage and meticulous vineyard work. It’s a bottle that shines today and promises even more in the years ahead.
If you’re looking for a meaningful, long-lasting gift—something worth savoring, cellaring, or opening during a special moment—The Winter Cellar is the perfect choice.
