QUALITY IS THE COMPASS OF THIS FIVE GENERATION FAMILY LEGACY.

Arrowhead Vineyards is the largest wine grape growing operation in the midwest. The president, Dan Nitz, is the fifth generation of his family to farm in Southwest Michigan. With each passing generation, knowledge was not just inherited; it was a legacy passionately nurtured and refined. The secrets of the soil, the nuances of the climate, and the artistry of grape growing were passed down like cherished heirlooms. The family’s history became a rich tapestry of hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

ICE WINE

Sweetened by the bitter winter winds of lake Michigan

When it comes to ice wine, the conditions are near perfect. Our grapes endure the biting winds off Lake Michigan and relentless cold until their essence is imprisoned by frost, They are meticulously monitored until the perfect moment when they glisten like frozen jewels. Then, and only then, are they harvested and pressed, their essence captured while still imprisoned by frost. The resulting concentrated juice boasts a lofty sugar content like no other.
