You simply cannot produce great wine from mediocre grapes. Equally important to wine quality is a fully equipped winery facility and a skilled winemaker able to achieve the best from a particular vintage.

From our hand-tended estate-grown vines to gentle grape presses, temperature-controlled stainless steel fermenting tanks, and quality oak cooperage, Chateau Grand Traverse features the latest in winery technology, yet maintains a "hands-on" approach to our winemaking practices. All of our wines are made under close winemaker and family supervision to assure consistency, flavor and style.

We have been fortunate to work with Bernd Croissant as our winemaker since 1993. Bernd's intuition, extensive winemaking experience, and ability to adapt to each year's unique style has allowed Chateau Grand Traverse to produce wines that consistently garner international awards and impress even the most discerning palette.
