Golden Muse Winery
About
Golden Muse Winery celebrates the free-spirited lifestyle of the Golden Age of Paris – when people like La Goulue, queen of the can-can, took to the stage with her ruffled skirts, or Alfred Jarry, the playwright, rode his bicycle around the streets of Paris with his face painted green. More than a hundred years later, these eccentricities are alive and well at Golden Muse Winery, where we fuse delicious wine and inspiring art to offer a unique experience. Come visit our Steampunk-style tasting room, peruse our world-class collection of art, and enjoy a glass or two of our selection of vegan-friendly wines. When you visit Golden Muse Winery, you’ll be swept back to turn-of-the-century Paris, where you can mingle with the artists, poets and performers whose legacy lives on today.
In summer 2023, the winery opened a custom-designed 1,200 sq. ft. patio with beautiful views of Lemon Creek, a lavender patch, and outdoor art installments for you to enjoy while sipping your wine.

Features:
Our winery and tasting room are nestled in the heart of Lake Michigan Shore wine country in the friendly village of Baroda. We recently completed a 3-year renovation of a former machine shop, and have now opened our doors to the public. We offer vegan-friendly red, white and rosé wines, ranging from dry to semi-sweet. Let our knowledgeable staff guide you through a tasting of our delicious wines (select 4 wines, 2 ounce pours of each, for $15). Guests are also welcome to sip wine in our 1,200 square foot art gallery featuring ecological-themed works from international artists. The gallery includes a small stage where we plan to feature live performance and special events.
