Westview Orchards & Winery

Westview Orchards & Winery is a sixth-generation family farm established in 1813 on 188 acres in Washington, Michigan. The property centers on an 1850s barn, whose loft now serves as the weekend tasting room, with summer pours also available on the Schoolhouse Porch. The farm grows apples, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, sunflowers, saskatoons, pumpkins, and seasonal vegetables, much of it offered through U-Pick fields and the daily Farm Market & Bakery. An on-site Enviro-Weather Station connected to MSU Extension supplies real-time growing data. The family's cider-making history stretches back to the 1940s, when apples were trucked to a historic local cider mill to be pressed; a J-belt press was installed in the 1850 barn in 1998, allowing guests to watch cider go from tree to jug. Visiting focuses on farm activities alongside wine: weekend tastings, U-Pick wagon rides, a corn maze, playground, farm animals, and seasonal field trips for schools and groups. The market also sells donuts, pies, honey from the farm's 55 beehives, and wine by the bottle.
