About French Road Cellars

French Road Cellars is at 2300 South French Road in Lake Leelanau, Michigan, in Leelanau County, and it is listed by the Traverse Connect chamber directory and by Michigan winery guides. Its own site presents it as a custom crush winery that makes wine for other brands, names Charlie Schmidt as winemaker, and lists red and white varietals, fruit wines, Charmat sparkling wines, fortified and carbonated wines and InCider hard ciders, alongside Big Paw Vineyard Services for vineyard management. We could not confirm from any source that it runs a tasting room open to the public, and we found no hours, tasting fee or reservation policy, so the placeholder schedule of 10 am to 4 pm daily on this page should not be relied on. Contact the winery at (231) 256-0680 to confirm whether visitors are received and on what terms before you go.

A Lake Leelanau custom crush house and vineyard service, with no public tasting room we could confirm.
