At Shady Creek Winery, the focus is on great wine, fun, and relaxation over everything else. A loyal group of team members, Wine Club members, and regular guests have made us a choice destination.
We produce over 30 different wines, including Sweet, Sparkling, Dry White, and Dry Red Wines. We believe great wines start with great fruit. We go directly to the locations where our grape varietals grow well. For instance, we ferment our Petite Sirah with California fruit grown in Lodi, CA, while our Pinot Grigio is produced in Michigan City with fruit farmed only 25 minutes away in Baroda, MI.
