"Bordered on three sides by Lake Michigan, Leelanau County encompasses more than 100 miles of shoreline, 33 inland lakes, and five islands: North Manitou, South Manitou, North Fox, South Fox, and Gull Island. The region sits on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg and the Three Fires Confederacy of the Ojibwe, Ottawa, and Potawatomi peoples.
The region shares a latitude with the renowned w**e regions of France. That geographic similarityโwhen combined with the thermal impacts of Lake Michigan and the enthusiastic stewardship of a new generation of w**emakersโmakes for a Midwestern force to be reckoned with."
