The Tasting Room at Flying Otter: Open from May 1 – October 31
Discover for yourself what makes Flying Otter so special and unique. Enjoy a taste of Michigan, tucked away from the busy world, featuring estate-grown wines in a tranquil, open-air pavilion surrounded by nature and overlooking the vineyard. We’ll introduce you to our cool-climate wines, distinctive to our Southeastern Michigan terroir—without the fuss or any wine snobbery.
From Thursday through Sunday, savor Flying Otter wines by the glass or bottle, create your own flights, sip on wine slushies, or share a pitcher of our special sangria. Prefer hard cider? We craft our own blends using locally sourced apple cider from Kapnick Orchards. You can also purchase wine from our online store, with limited shipping within Michigan (free shipping on purchases over $109!), or schedule a pickup time at the winery.

Flying Otter Estate Winery & Vineyard
Our boutique winery and vineyard are pleasantly located off the beaten path between Adrian and Tecumseh in lower Michigan. You’ll find that our 100% estate-grown grapes (never from outside fruit, juice, or bulk wine) produce many wonderful wines that are comparable to long-time favorites and also some unique blends. We grow twelve varieties of red and white cold-hardy grapes, specially developed to thrive in Michigan’s harsh winters.
From the fertile River Raisin watershed soil to handpicking our grapes, Flying Otter is honored to be an Environmentally Verified Farm in multiple sustainability systems set by MAEAP. We strive to excel in producing a quality crop that is cultivated with care, hand-picked, pressed, fermented, and aged to perfection. Our winemakers carefully craft wines to please every palate, delivering a flavorful, satisfying experience. Come see what makes Flying Otter wines so special!
