Folklor Wine & Cider

At Folklor Wine & Cider, we believe that delicious wines and ciders start in the field with healthy soil, well cared-for plants and a thriving ecosystem. It’s part of our winemaking philosophy too – to let the fruit shine and add or take away as little as possible on its journey to the bottle. Our wines and ciders reflect the liquid landscape of Northern Michigan and everything it has to offer. Visit our Charlevoix tasting-room year round!

Spare key Winery

Family is the Key to our vineyard and winery. In 2011 we began with just 400 vines, and with the help from our family and friends planting, trimming, and harvesting, we have continued to expand each year. The Spare Key Winery is one of the few estate grown and bottled wineries in Northern Michigan, meaning our wines are made from grapes grown in our vineyard and processed on-site by our team. We offer a Spare Key to all visitors passing through, to unlock experiences and good times shared with each other. We hope Spare Key will become a Key in your life and encourage you to return to experience our Spare Key family again.
