History
Old Mission Peninsula is one of Michigan’s earliest recognized wine regions; its narrow landform and bay-moderated climate have supported vineyards since the late 19th and 20th centuries.
Conservation
Many vineyards on the peninsula practice soil conservation and integrated pest management; visitors should stay on designated paths and carry out trash to protect fragile shoreline habitats.
