Family is the Key to our vineyard and winery. In 2011 we began with just 400 vines, and with the help from our family and friends planting, trimming, and harvesting, we have continued to expand each year. The Spare Key Winery is one of the few estate-grown and bottled wineries in Northern Michigan, meaning our wines are made from grapes grown in our vineyard and processed on-site by our team. We offer a Spare Key to all visitors passing through, to unlock experiences and good times shared with each other. We hope Spare Key will become a Key in your life and encourage you to return to experience our Spare Key family again.

My parents and I went here on a rainy afternoon. The owners are incredibly friendly and great to talk to! Their wine is excellent, especially their fruit wines! They have a gorgeous facility and their tap room is very modern and well done. One of the owners even made us a reservation at the Argonne House in Charlevoix. 11/10 would go back.

I had a fantastic experience here. I came in while on a weekend wine tour on a moody autumn day. The wine here was exceptional and unique. They are a small winery working with unique grapes making fascinating wines. It is always a delight to see people with passion innovating and that’s what’s being done here. They had a whiskey barrel aged white that was just superb. Buttery and Smokey, a delectable blend of whiskey and white wine I didn’t know I needed in my life. I’m very happy I stopped in. The owners are also very willing to speak on the wine making process so make sure to give them a listen. 5/5.

Family owned and ran winery that is entirely estate grown. Love the concept and the wines! We did a tasting or a few here... All the wines were excellent! They have mostly dry wines, but a few sweets as well. We especially enjoyed the strawberry wine. They don't really serve food here, but there are a couple of snacks/appetizers you can purchase, including a delicious whitefish dip.

Stopped into Spare Key for an impromptu glass of wine. They had the best customer service, great atmosphere gorgeous scenery out back. We didn’t want to leave!!! Thanks for the great visit & tasty wine!

Pleasant place, but compared to other wineries in the area, very low rated by my wife and I. Owner was very friendly, but wines were mediocre at best. Not a place we'll choose to come back to.
