Apparently, many Leelanau wine country visitors who start their tasting day with lofty goals of touring most of the wineries on the peninsula never make it to the northern reaches. Enter the newly formed alliance of wineries north of M-204 and encircled on the other three sides by M-22. Dubbed the Northern Leelanau County Wine Loop, member producers include (in order on the “loop’) Tandem Ciders, Raftshol Vineyards, Silver Leaf Vineyard, Leelanau Cellars, Good Neighbor Organic Winery, Gill’s Pier Vineyard and Winery, Verterra Winery, Boathouse Vineyards, Forty-Five North Vineyard and Winery and Circa Estate Winery.
