Left Foot Charley

 

Left Foot Charley owns no palatial estate. Our energy is focused on fermenting, aging, and bottling wine. We searched for a unique place to create wine from the region’s most significant vineyards and settled in he Village of Grand Traverse Commons. Formerly the Northern Michigan Asylum, it’s one of the most extensive historical restoration projects in America. Come for a taste, stay for a glass and a small plate snack. Be part of the next chapter in the story.
