Sip & Savor Michigan’s Best at Holland Michigan Breweries & Wineries

Like many other communities along Michigan’s west coast, Holland is home to a variety of breweries and wineries. Each of these small, locally-owned establishments offers a unique atmosphere as well as flavorful beverages that are sure to lift your spirits. 

Whether you are searching for waterfront views or you prefer to sip your wine inside a cozy tasting room, you will easily find breweries in Holland Michigan, and wineries near Holland Michigan that will exceed your expectations.

From craft breweries in Holland Michigan to fruit-based wineries in Holland Michigan, you are sure to find a place that serves up the libations that you prefer. 

These establishments not only specialize in crafting flavorful drinks that will ease the mind and refuel the soul, but they also provide a personal level of customer service that allows you to discover the warm and welcoming nature of the people of western Michigan.

Stop by the Best Breweries in Holland Michigan

When most people think of Holland, they imagine a large Dutch windmill in the heart of the community. They conjure up images of pastel tulips swaying in the breeze during the spring months. But they don’t realize that this burgeoning town near the lakeshore is actually becoming a hot spot for microbreweries and craft beer in Michigan. 

If you are a craft beer lover , then you are in luck. There are many breweries in Holland Michigan, but we feel that these are some of the best ones in the city:

Big Lake Brewing

Big Lake Brewing is often described as one of the most vibrant breweries in the community, largely because of its spacious indoor dining area, its extensive food menu and the dozens of beers that it always has on tap.

This brewery is located in the heart of downtown Holland, and it is open for both lunch and dinner seven days per week. While the taps are always rotating, many people love to come to this brewery in order to showcase their state spirit by ordering either the Sparti Parti or Haze and Blew beers.

Big Lake Brewing, Holland - Best Holland Breweries &Amp; Wineries

Tulip City Brewstillery

Tulip City Brewstillery is a microbrewery in downtown Holland that is most famous for its beers, but it is preferred by visitors who also like to sip on wine or try a craft cocktail. Its tap list includes more than a dozen beers at any given time, many of which are named after the city’s iconic Dutch heritage. For example, you may be able to order a Wooden Shoe or a Windmill Wheat. If you are in the mood for food, visit this brewery during the dinner hour and stop by the Spice Boys Food Truck that parks outside as part of its partnership with the brewery.

Brewery 4Two4

Brewery 4Two4 is the Holland Michigan brewery that locals love the most. It is a smaller neighborhood brewery that aspires to be a community gathering place where both residents and travelers can mix, mingle and get to know one another. This brewery is famous for experimenting with different beers, and craft beer aficionados will love the fact that there is always a diverse range of brews available. All of the beers are made in small batches, so if you find something that you love, be sure to buy a few cans before you go. It may not be there the next time!

Our Brewing Co.

Our Brewing Co. is a nano brewery in downtown Holland that is proud to be small on purpose. This locally-owned brewery was established in 2012 by two couples who were looking for a change of pace in the middle of their careers, and together, they create small-batch beers that are sourced from local ingredients. This is the kind of Holland Michigan brewery where you can discover unique and creative beers while enjoying a game of trivia or music from a local band who is just starting to gain traction in the community.

Hopland Brewstillery

Hopland Brewstillery is an innovative establishment in Holland that is not only a craft brewery but also a winery and a distillery. It’s a one-stop-shop for people who love spirits, wine, and beer, making it one of the most popular places to grab a drink in the community. Currently, the brewstillery is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but it hopes to add more hours soon.

New Holland Brewing Company

New Holland Brewing Company is a large brewery in Holland that produces some of the best beers in the region. The company makes several styles of lagers, ales, stouts, porters, IPAs, wheat beers, saisons, sours, barrel-aged beers, fruit beers, kolschs, and other specialty beers.

Sip Delicious Vintages at Wineries in Holland Michigan

While there is not an abundance of wineries in Holland Michigan, the two that are located within the city’s limits are worth a visit. These are the wineries in Holland Michigan that you need to add to your itinerary:

Tanglewood Winery

The roots of the Tanglewood Winery go back more than 50 years, when the land that the winery is now operated on was a blueberry farm. The family passed the blueberry farm down from generation to generation, with one generation deciding that the farm could be more than just a place to grow the richest, ripest berries in Michigan. It could be a place where sweet fruit wine was handcrafted. Today, those who visit the Tanglewood Winery tasting room have an opportunity to sip Blue Silk, which is the wine that this winery is most famous for. Blue Silk is a fruit wine crafted from the blueberries that are grown on-location, and it is often described as “What Michigan Tastes Like.” There also are several other fruit wines available to try, and there are usually a few seasonal bottles available depending on the time of year that you visit.

Tanglewood Winery, Holland - Best Holland Breweries &Amp; Wineries

Warner Vineyards

Before Michigan became a wine destination and before Holland became a tourist hot spot, there was Warner Vineyards . This winery was established in 1938, making it one of the oldest wineries in the state. Today, visitors can stop by the Holland tasting room, where they can sip and savor many of the award-winning wines that have made this winery famous. Not only are the Warner wines renowned in the local area, but these wines also have been served at the White House as well as at two Super Bowl games. For a sip of something that is distinguished and delicious, be sure to visit the Holland tasting room during your next visit to the city.

Enjoy More Breweries and Wineries Near Holland Michigan

While there are so many wineries and breweries in Holland Michigan that you don’t technically ever need to leave the city proper, it’s worth noting that there are several other worthy wineries and breweries in the surrounding area. These are a few of the breweries and wineries near Holland that you may want to consider checking out:

Fenn Valley Vineyards

One of the most iconic wineries in West Michigan is located just outside of Holland in the city of Fennville. Fenn Valley Vineyards is a family-owned vineyard that has been producing superior Michigan fruit wines since 1973. The family that owns the vineyard actually chose this land specifically for its proximity to the lake, its soil conditions, and its climate, knowing that it would make an ideal vineyard. Their expertise has ensured that each season has brought forth flavorful grapes that can be crafted into some of the finest wines in the region. In order to try their wines, consider stopping by their family-friendly tasting room or taking one of their adults-only wine tasting tours. 

Fenn Valley Vineyards, Fennville - Best Holland Breweries &Amp; Wineries

Modales is a relative newcomer to the West Michigan wine scene, but this Fennville winery has quickly become known as a sophisticated winery where people can sip distinct and flavorful wines. One of the reasons that this winery stands apart from the rest is that its owners believe in the importance of traditional wine-making techniques. For example, all of their grapes are hand-harvested, and the winemakers rarely resort to interventions. When you sip one of their wines, you are tasting the purity of the grapes as well as the integrity of the soil that is used to grow them.

Modales Wines, Fennville - Best Holland Breweries &Amp; Wineries

Farmhaus Cider

Not far away in Hudsonville is a locally-owned cider company where people can gather to have good conversation over delicious ciders. Farmhouse Cider is located inside a barn that is more than 150 years old and was lovingly restored by the owners of the cider company. Within this barn, people have the opportunity to indulge in handcrafted cider that is so rich and full of flavor that they likely won’t want to drink any other kind of cider again. Farmhaus Cider aims to be a gathering place where people of all walks of life can hang out, play games, and simply enjoy one another’s company.

Farmhaus Cider, Hudsonville - Best Holland Breweries &Amp; Wineries

Guardian Brewing Company

Guardian Brewing Company is a craft beer brewery in Saugatuck that was founded in 2018. It is proud to be an inclusive destination where everyone can feel comfortable grabbing a beer. This woman-owned and LGBTQ-owned brewery is known for both its classic and contemporary beers. At any given time, there are eight standard beers on tap as well as more than a dozen rotating taps, ensuring that faithful patrons can always get their favorites while simultaneously trying something new.

Not far from Holland in the quaint community of Zeeland is Tripelroot , a downtown brewery that is also a deli and market. After you have shopped the market and grabbed a sandwich in the deli, you can head on over to the taproom, where you will be greeted by a friendly bartender who can tell you more about the different beers that they have on tap. Some examples of beers that are available at this brewery include the Pure Mackinac or the Backroads IPA.

On the South Haven Wine Trail

Wineries dot the landscape all throughout Southwest Michigan, but if you want to stay close to South Haven there are four unique vineyards close to each other.

Spending a day exploring these family-owned wine producers will not only give you an idea of the excellent wines produced in this area, but also a chance to enjoy the beautiful farmland in between.

Fenn Valley Vineyards

www.fennvalley.com

We started out our personal wine tour at the oldest and most established of the area vineyards. The Welsh family who came from Chicago, took their time finding just the right land with the aim to grow world-class grapes. Their motto is: “The Lake Effect Everyone Loves,” which refers to the moderation of temperatures in winter and summer that close proximity to Lake Michigan offers. The 240 acre farm the family purchased in 1973 also had just the right sandy soil for the grapes they wanted to grow.

They started with hybrid grapes and experimented with many varieties over the years, slowly adding grapes until today along with initial hybrids, they grow Riesling, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Cabernet franc.

We opted for a wine tasting choosing five wines to sample in the rustic large tasting room with a long bar. Small plates of cheese and charcuterie are available for purchase, but crackers in between wines was enough to cleanse our palates. You can also purchase a glass of wine and sit in the dining area or outside. Five dollars for the tasting also gives you a discount on any wine purchased.

Tours are available throughout the year but Fall is when private tours happen taking guests throughout the property in specially designed wagons. Winemaker dinners are scheduled for November 2 and 9.

Modales Winery

www.modaleswines.com

We had pleasant surprise when we came upon a brand new winery just down the road from Fenn Valley. Carol and Jim Gonzalez had officially opened their establishment just six weeks before our visit in mid August. They named it “Modales” which means manners in Spanish reflecting how they intend to operate—growing and caring for grapes in an environmentally responsible manner, carefully developing their wines and ciders and treating guests with respect and hospitality.

Located on their 76-acre farm is a tasting room and a 2800 square foot patio overlooking the vineyards. The wines can be sampled every day from 11 am to 6 pm.

The Gonzalez’ produce small batch, handcrafted, estate-grown wines. Their tasting room had yet to be opened , but tastings were offered in an outbuilding. We sampled five 1-oz. pours for $10, taking the wooden palate of tasting glasses out to the picnic table on the patio. Private tastings are available for $20. They also produce three varieties of hard ciders. Stay tuned for events as this brand new winery develops.

Cogdal Vineyards

www.cogdalvineyards.com

After a short drive 15-minute drive we came upon our third stop, Cogdal Vineyards, another family venture owned by Jack and Deb Murdoch. The 80 acre land has been in Jack’s family since his grandfather Harry Cogdal bought the land. Jack who grew up in Holland, Michigan, spent summers at the farm which over the years has grown fruit trees, vegetables, Christmas trees, asparagus and now grapes. The Murdochs have seven acres of vineyards operating now, with a plan to expand to 18 acres.

They built the tasting room out of cherry and maple wood harvested from the land and opened in 2014. We came upon the tasting room shortly after they opened, and now five years later the building has evolved to include an open porch with tables overlooking the open prairie and vineyards to sit and enjoy glasses of wine and small cheese and charcuterie plates. The tasting room is open from 12 to 5 pm every day and includes a small bar for tasting, along with wines and gifts for purchase. Music events are scheduled periodically.

We sat with a young couple we just met from Chicago who were enjoying their first trip to Michigan sampling a glass of Cogdal wine. The winery distinguishes itself with signature wines and eclectic wines like Charlie’s Bad Choice, a bourbon barrel aged wine and Maple Wine produced in collaboration with Ridley Family Sugar Farm. They donate $.25 of every bottle sold to local charities.

McIntosh Winery

www.mcintoshorchards.com

Just down the road was our final stop, an establishment we have been enjoying since it opened in 2007. Owner Bruce McIntosh bought the 102 acre farm as his retirement project. It started out as a fruit stand selling apples, peaches and pears. He had the notion that he might start making sweet cider, but then discovered hard cider and applied for his winemakers license in 1998. He was approved and then was required to have a building which he began in 2001. He built it to be reminiscent of an iconic farm house, with white clapboard and a wraparound porch, complete with rocking chairs and Adirondack chairs perfect for sipping cider on a hot afternoon.

While not a classic winery, McIntosh produces a variety of premium fruit wines which have earned many awards. But his focus in on Traditional Olde World Style Hard Cider both semi dry and dry, and iced apple aperitif. While the name of the winery is McIntosh, McIntosh apples are only one of five varieties of apples go into making the cider (Baldwin, Jonathan, Brown Snout, Bramley Seedling are the other four).

Tasting of fruit wines and ciders are available at the bar inside where you can also purchase gift items and snacks. But sipping the cold, dry cider on the porch is one of my favorite summer rituals. The winery is open through October, Monday through Thursday 11 am to 5 pm, Friday 11 am to 7 pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm when you can also enjoy pizza with your pint. In November and December the winery is closed Monday through Wednesday, open on Friday for pizza and a pint, and on Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm.
