Flying Otter Tasting Room: Open May through October
Discover what makes Flying Otter Vineyard & Winery truly unique. Nestled between Adrian and Tecumseh, our 27-acre estate winery specializes in crafting authentic Michigan-made wines. Our seasonal open-air pavilion overlooks the vineyard, offering stunning views and a peaceful natural setting. We’ll introduce you to cool-climate wines, made from grape varieties specially bred to thrive in our northern climate, all served in a relaxed atmosphere—free from the fuss or wine snobbery.
From Thursday through Sunday, enjoy Flying Otter wines by the glass or bottle, create your own flights, sip on wine slushies, or share a pitcher of our special sangria. Prefer hard cider? We craft our own blends using locally sourced apple cider from Kapnick Orchards. On Friday and Saturday evenings, we have live music and an expanded grill menu as well!

Flying Otter Estate Winery & Vineyard
We believe you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of our wines—100% Flying Otter! Our boutique winery crafts exceptional wines using only grapes grown and harvested right here on the property—never sourcing outside fruit, juice, or bulk wine. We grow twelve varieties of red and white cold-hardy wine grapes, all selected for their compatibility with our terroir and for a well-rounded harvest, which enables us to create a diverse range of wines.
From the stewardship of the fertile River Raisin watershed soil to handpicking our grapes, Flying Otter is honored to be an Environmentally Verified Farm in multiple sustainability systems set by MAEAP. We strive to excel in producing a quality crop that is cultivated with care, handpicked, pressed, fermented, and aged to perfection. Our winemakers take great pride in carefully crafting an assortment of wines to please every palate. Ranging from light and sweet to bold and dry, we’re sure you’ll uncork a taste like no other!
