History

Old Mission Peninsula sits on glacially derived soils that, combined with lake-moderated temperatures, supported a late‑20th-century winemaking boom; many tasting rooms occupy former farm buildings.

Conservation

Wineries and distilleries on the peninsula often source local fruit and practice land stewardship; visitors can minimize impact by sticking to paths and disposing of bottles and trash properly.
