🍁 A Sweet Taste of Northern Michigan

Just outside Petoskey, there’s a place where local tradition and creativity come together in a truly unique way. Maple Moon Sugarbush & Winery — America’s first maple winery — crafts distinctive wines using pure maple sap instead of grapes. The result is a smooth, lightly sweet flavor that captures the essence of Northern Michigan in every sip.

From cozy tastings in the wood-paneled tasting room to bottles of maple wine and syrup to take home, it’s a memorable stop during any Up North getaway.

Read our latest blog post to discover why Maple Moon is a must-visit while exploring the Petoskey area. https://www.vacationpropertiesnorthernmichigan.com/blog/taste-pure-northern-michigan-at-maple-moon-sugarbush-winery.html
