Walk-ins are generally welcome during regular tasting room hours, though calling ahead is smart during busy summer weekends. Reservations may be required for larger groups or special events.
What types of wine does Modales Wines typically pour?

What is the Lake Michigan Shore wine region, and why does it matter?

This allows grapes to ripen fully, producing wines with more nuance and structure than you'd expect from the region's climate.
Are there other wineries nearby that I can visit the same day?
Yes, Fennville is part of a dense cluster of wineries along the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail. Several producers are within a short drive, making it easy to plan a multi-stop tasting day.
