Graham Vineyard & Winery utilizes traditional wine making processes while taking advantage of some modern advances to produce wines that are easy drinking with a consistent flavor profile.
The property was acquired in 2016 and planned to be a wedding and event venue. Renovations to transform the property began immediately.
After nearly a year of renovations and planning we hosted our first wedding on the property.
After several successful years of weddings the idea of transforming the property into something more came about. The process of obtaining the necessary permits and licensing was started.
After considerable planning and effort the first wines from Graham Vineyard & Winery were released.
In addition to continuing to release more varieties of wine, Graham Vineyard & Winery plans to also pivot to producing its own craft beer and spirits.
While we can't tell the future and how long licensing approvals will take, we are planning to have craft beer and spirits released sometime in 2025.
Graham Church started in the 1870’s from land and funds donated by John Graham. The church operated as both a church and a school from time to time. Graham Church operated as a Methodist church until the depression. During that time the church shut down due to lack of a pastor and funds to operate. During the 17 year hiatus the church fell into disrepair. A pastor from Owosso then gathered the funds to purchase the property from the Methodist Church and make the necessary repairs. The newly reformed Graham Church resumed operation as a non-denominational church and continues operation today at their new location in Shaftsburg, which they moved to in 2016. Michael and Heather McDonald purchased the property in 2016 and transformed the property into a wedding venue. The wedding venue continues to operate today; however, weddings typically only occur on weekends. This meant the property was only being used regularly a few days a week. Heather, determined to change this, decided a winery would be just what the area needed. In 2022 the process was started to obtain Federal approval for a winery. On June 7th, 2024 the winery officially opened for business. We know the story does not end here. We will continue to grow and have exciting plans for the future!
