From the reviews

We are were traveling to Michigan and decided to stop at a vineyard along the way. We weren't sure if this winery had any food (website and other reviews didn't say). We called, but the line was busy. We decided to venture to the winery anyway (20 minutes out of the way).

★★★★★ — Tara, Sep 2021

Incredible. This is a must-visit location for you if you're in the area and love wine and absolutely wonderful, friendly hosts. We came here for a quick tasting and to grab a bottle and instead stayed for live music and bought several to take home.

★★★★★ — Nathan, Jun 2022

Northern Sun is a must stop for all who enjoy wine and want to experience a real working Winery in the UP. Dave and Suzie Anthony have created a Gem in Bark River.

★★★★★ — Patrick, Jul 2017

My wife and I made it a point to stop at Northern Sun Winery this afternoon on our way to Mackinac Island. We like supporting family owned and run wineries whenever possible.

Getting married at Northern Sun Winery and Vineyards

Northern Sun Winery and Vineyards comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
