40 years of beekeeping led us to making mead - which led to making wine ... then we added ciders ... and now we've got beer. Where are we headed next? Nobody knows.

At St. Ambrose Cellars, we make award-winning meads, wines, ciders, and beers. Our tasting room features 18 draft taps and a full menu of still meads, red wines, and white wines. Talented musicians take the stage every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

You'll find a nine hole disc golf course, bocce ball court, yard games, and a bee garden outside.

If that isn't enough - you'll also find our meads in stores across the nation and available for shipping to 37 (and counting!) states via our online storefront.

Our igloos are available all winter for no charge on a first-come, first-serve basis. They are heated for your enjoyment!

HOURS

Out of concern for the safety of our staff and the public, our tasting room is closed until April 14th. 

Online orders via this site are still being shipped during this time.

Join us on Sunday, April 5 from 12-4PM for Cheese, Mead, Beer, Wine, and Horses! We'll have another special pairing event featuring flights of some of your favorite St. Ambrose & Brose Brewing creations along with hand-picked cheese from The Cheese Lady in Traverse City! The cheese pairing flight is just $15 and you get 5 drinks paired with great cheese - plus Tina the Cheese Lady will be on hand to sell you plenty of cheese to take home! Stay tuned for the full menu.
No Reservations/Tickets Necessary

We have music every Friday and Saturday night - see the schedule, and all of our other events, below!

Mead is the world's oldest alcoholic beverage, and is made with fermented honey, water, and yeast. Our draft meads take this ancient art and add carbonation and bold new flavors for a gluten-free, 7% ABV drink with a satisfying sweetness and exciting taste.

In our tasting room we have 18 taps featuring a selection of draft meads, ciders, and beers. We distribute 8 varieties of our draft mead to stores around the country, and direct to you with our online store.

From Benzie County and the Lake Michigan Shore, we take the best grapes we can find and turn them into award winning wines. Our current lineup features two winners of gold medals at the Michigan Wine Competition and plenty of other high achievers.

Our wine is available in stores, but if you can't find it near you, you can order direct from the website and have it shipped to your door in 39 states.

Our newest adventure is Brose Brewing - the beer arm of our operation. Try the latest concotions from our brewmasters right here in the tap room or in select local establishments - no bottles for sale in stores ... yet.

Nestled in the heart of Benzie County and just minutes from landmarks like the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, we're the perfect spot to get away from the hustle of the Grand Traverse wine trails and enjoy a delicious and scenic detour.

Try a flight of the products we have on tap or wines - or both! We also have charcuterie available any time we are open, and a food truck that operates from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
