OUR STORY

Dune Bird is the kind of place you stumble onto and instantly want to stay — magnetic, unexpected, and entirely its own. Set along Michigan's scenic M-22 between Leland and Northport, we opened with a new vision for Leelanau: not just another winery, but a design-forward space where espresso and sparkling wine share the menu, the playlist sets the mood, and every detail invites you to settle in. We skip the fuss, keep it human, and make room for curiosity. Order what you love. Try something new. Linger longer. From unique estate-grown grapes and an award-winning vintner, to a perfectly pulled espresso and a comfortable chair — Dune Bird is built for all of it. Whether you're here with colleagues, a bridal party, a laptop, or just yourself — you belong here.

VISION

To break wine out of its comfort zone.
We’re redefining what a winery can be—less rules, more personality. A place where bold ideas take off, individuality is the norm, and being yourself isn’t a risk, it’s the point. If you’ve ever felt out of place somewhere else, welcome aboard.

MISSION

We’re here to shake up wine culture.
To pour wine, cider, and coffee with zero pretense and a lot of heart.
Built on real hospitality, untraditional sustainability, and an aviation-minded spirit, we create space for people who don’t fit the mold—because neither do we. Different tastes. Different paths. Same table.
