Sugar Loaf Red & White

Sugar Loaf Mountain has long been part of Leelanau County's story. For generations, it has been a place for adventure, breathtaking views, and lasting memories. As you scroll through, you'll discover the history of this beloved landmark and the journey that has led to its next chapter.

Today, the vision for Sugar Loaf is taking shape once again. The new site plan highlights what's ahead, preserving the mountain's legacy while creating new opportunities for the community to enjoy this iconic destination for years to come.

To help support that future, French Valley Vineyard has partnered with the Leelanau Conservancy to release two Sugar Loaf wines. A portion of every bottle sold directly supports the Conservancy's efforts to restore and reopen Sugar Loaf Mountain. The wines are available to purchase online or enjoy in our tasting room.

To celebrate the release, we're hosting “Toast to the Mountain”, a special release party where guests can be among the first to enjoy the new wines while raising a glass to Sugar Loaf's future. It's an opportunity to celebrate this partnership and support a place that means so much to the Leelanau community.
