Some getaways are just better when they come with maple wine and a good story. These sisters-in-law made Maple Moon part of their Northern Michigan girls getaway while the guys were off on their own trip, and we loved every minute of it. (Sorry you missed out guys, but we look forward to meeting you next time)

They found a favorite in our Early Spring Reserve wine and took home a little Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup too. Even better, we got to share great conversations over maple wine, which is truly one of our favorite parts of what we do.

Whether you are planning a girls trip, a weekend up north, or just need a good reason to slow down and sip something unique, we would love to have you visit America’s first maple winery. 🍷

Meet Zoë!

Born and raised in Northern Michigan, Zoë has spent the last 5+ summers as part of the Petoskey Farms family. While her roots are local, her adventurous spirit is always ready for the next spontaneous trip.🤪

🍕 Favorite Petoskey Farms order:
CPA Pizza (with pepperoni!) paired with a glass of Blaufränkisch.

🚜 Favorite Petoskey Farms memory:
Riding on the harvester during harvest season and helping clean tanks. Not everyone can say they've willingly climbed inside a wine tank, but Zoë can!

☀️ Favorite summer tradition:
Boating on Mullett Lake!

Whether she's serving guests, lending a hand in the cellar, or keeping everyone laughing, Zoë brings warmth, optimism, and a sense of adventure to Petoskey Farms. We're grateful she's part of our team💛
