Flying Otter Tasting Room: Open May through October
Savor true Michigan wines and discover what makes Flying Otter so special and unique. Tucked away from the bustle of the busy world, Flying Otter Vineyard & Winery is a 27-acre estate winery with a seasonal open-air pavilion overlooking the vineyard and surrounded by nature. We’ll introduce you to our cool-climate wines, distinctive to our Southeastern Michigan terroir, without the fuss or wine snobbery.
From Thursday through Sunday, enjoy 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. On Friday and Saturday evenings, we have live music and an expanded grill menu as well!

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!
