St. Julian Tasting Room - Union Pier
St. Julian is the oldest & largest winery in the state of Michigan, owned and operated by the same family for four generations. Our passion for local farms, real Michigan fruit, and the production of quality wine and juice have been upheld for 100 years.
St. Julian’s portfolio of award-winning wines has over 150 products and include distilled spirits, ciders, and every type of wine from internationally recognized dry wines to award-winning sweet wines, sparkling wines, classic dessert wines and wines using innovative wine-making techniques. Since 1998 St. Julian has been producing some of the finest spirits, many of which are made from grapes. Our line of spirits includes vodka, rum, and award-winning brandies.
Our winemakers, Nancie Oxley and Kyle Totzke, are considered to be some of the most experienced, creative, and talented in the industry. Nancie, the first female winemaker in Michigan, has a wealth of experience and has been with us since 2002. Kyle comes from a Southwest Michigan wine grape growing family that dates back hundreds of years and compliments Nancie as we continue to harvest awards and medals in competitions.
