St. Julian Winery & Distillery

St. Julian Winery & Distillery is a family-owned producer in Paw Paw, Michigan, with roots stretching back more than 100 years and now led by fourth-generation family members. It is Michigan's most-awarded winery, the state's longest-running winery, and its first craft distillery. The portfolio spans more than 100 products, including dry and sweet wines, dessert wines, ciders, and spirits. The vast majority of fruit comes from within a 40-mile radius of Paw Paw, sourced from the estate Mountain Road Estate Vineyard in the Lake Michigan Shore AVA near Coloma, along with more than 19 local growers. The 40-acre estate grows riesling, sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, pinot noir, syrah, cabernet sauvignon, and sangiovese, which appear in the Founder's Series and Braganini Reserve estate-bottled wines. The winery also works with cherries, apples, and other Michigan produce. St. Julian emphasizes local sourcing, sustainable farming, and ecofriendly winemaking. Visitors can taste wines, ciders, cocktails, and spirits at tasting rooms across Michigan.
