Services & Process

The winery side produces fermented grape and fruit wines available for tasting and purchase on-site. The brewery adds a craft beer dimension, covering the preferences of guests who lean toward hops over tannins. What truly distinguishes Whole Hearted is the distillery component, which produces spirits such as whiskey, vodka, or gin, depending on the production schedule. That three-tier approach means a single visit can take you from a wine flight to a craft beer tasting to a spirits sample, which is genuinely unusual for a facility of this size in the region.

Service Area

Whole Hearted Winery serves guests from New Hudson and the surrounding Lyon Township area, drawing visitors from Novi, South Lyon, Wixom, and Brighton. Its position just off I-96 also makes it a convenient stop for travelers moving between Ann Arbor and the Detroit suburbs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Whole Hearted Winery make its own spirits?
Yes, the distillery component produces craft spirits on-site, which sets it apart from most Michigan wineries. The specific lineup can vary based on production cycles, so calling ahead to ask what's currently available is a good move.
Is this a good stop for a group with mixed drink preferences?
It's one of the better options in the western Oakland County area for exactly that reason. Wine drinkers, beer fans, and spirits enthusiasts can all find something they enjoy without anyone feeling like they settled.
Can I do a tasting that covers wine, beer, and spirits?
That option is part of what makes Whole Hearted worth visiting. Ask staff about current tasting formats when you arrive, as they can guide you through a sampler that spans all three production categories.
How far is New Hudson from Novi or Brighton?
New Hudson is roughly 10 miles west of Novi and about 15 miles east of Brighton along I-96, making it a quick drive from either community. The highway access is one of its biggest practical advantages over more rurally located wineries.
Is Whole Hearted a good venue for a private event?
While the listings focus on production and tasting, many multi-category craft beverage operations offer private event options. Calling (248) 667-8441 directly is the best way to find out what's available for your specific occasion.
Can I buy bottles of wine or spirits to take home?
Yes, retail sales are standard for licensed wineries and distilleries in Michigan. You can typically purchase bottles from any of the three production categories during your visit.
