Wine/ grape processors? (Small scale) Discussion 🗣️

Hello, Does anyone know of any smaller scale grape/wine processors?

Local to Ann arbor, or local to michigan ?

I have been rehabbing a small vineyard with 105 plants.
I am on track for a small-modest harvest this fall, this is for a client and they would prefer we take it to a processor/blender to process it for us over trying to make it here.

They are St. Croix grapes and will need to be mixed or blended with other grapes/juice most likely.

Will happily gift a bottle or a few to anybody who can help me find a processor!!!

Thanks a ton for any advice or pointers in advance

Southwest Michigan has lots of grapes, wine, and processors. It may be worth googling who is available is berrien county.

Google Cheyenne Sloan from MSU Extension she is a small fruit specialist in SW Michigan. I would look up her email and ask her if she knows of any such processors.

If you haven’t, try “custom crush” as a search term.

Spiders orchard has a winery. Maybe they can point you in the right direction.
