Tabor Hill Winery Spotlight: Buchanan, Michigan

Tabor Hill Winery has been producing Michigan wine since 1968, which puts it among the oldest operating wineries in the state. In that time it has helped define what Michigan wine is capable of and become a destination in Berrien County that draws visitors from across the Midwest.

Located at 185 Mt Tabor Rd in Buchanan, the winery sits on a rolling hillside in the heart of Southwest Michigan wine country. The vineyards slope toward the horizon with the kind of picturesque character that makes the drive to Buchanan feel like it is already paying off before you pour a single glass.

The wine portfolio ranges from estate-grown dry whites and reds to semi-sweet wines and a dessert wine lineup that has earned particular attention. Cabernet franc, riesling, and chardonnay perform well in this corner of the state, and Tabor Hill’s versions demonstrate why the Lake Michigan Shore growing region deserves to be taken seriously alongside the better-known wine regions of the country.

The restaurant on the property serves food designed around wine pairing, with a terrace overlooking the vineyards that becomes one of the most pleasant dining experiences in Michigan on a warm afternoon. A full events calendar brings visitors out throughout the year for dinners, festivals, and seasonal celebrations.
