Old Mission Peninsula AVA

The Old Mission Peninsula AVA is an American Viticultural Area located in Grand Traverse County, Michigan known for well-regarded Michigan wine. The Old Mission Peninsula extends northward from Traverse City into the Grand Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan, ending at Old Mission Point. The peninsula is long by wide at its widest point. The climate on the peninsula is moderated by the surrounding waters, helping to prevent frost during the growing season. Grape varietals suitable to cool climates, such as Riesling, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Pinot gris, Pinot noir, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot do best in the Old Mission Peninsula AVA.〔
The peninsula has extensive cherry orchards and vineyards. There are nine wineries with a tenth currently being built, offering tasting rooms, each located within five miles of each other. Of Traverse City’s two wine-growing peninsulas, Old Mission is smaller and more easily encompassed in a single day: just a little under 20 miles from end to end, and in places as little as three miles wide..〔(Norton, Michael, ''Winter Wine-Touring on the Old Mission Peninsula'', Traverse City Tourism Blog, February 2014. )〕
==History==

The Old Mission Peninsula was settled in 1842 by a Presbyterian minister. During the Civil War period, the area saw an influx in population with many families today able to trace their ties to the area back to this period. Located along the 45th parallel north, and moderated by Lake Michigan and the deep Grand Traverse Bay, the region soon showed that it had macroclimate to produce a wide range of fruits and vegetables. Early agriculture in the area subsisted on apples, cherries and potatoes. In 1870, George Parmalee, of the Michigan State Horticultural Society, encouraged farmers of Old Mission Peninsula to branch out to different plantings but it would be another 100 years before wine grape varieties really took hold in the area.〔Sharon Kegerreis and Lorri Hathaway ''"(The History of Michigan Wine Industry: Pre 1900s )"'' 2009-2010 Michigan Wine Industry Research, State of Michigan, Department of Agriculture. Accessed: January 2nd, 2010〕
In 1974 Edward O’Keefe Jr. of Chateau Grand Traverse began planting ''Vitis vinifera'' varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot noir and Riesling near Traverse City. The following year he expanded to 55-acre of grapevines, which was the first large-scale planting of ''Vitis vinifera''.〔Sharon Kegerreis and Lorri Hathaway ''"(The Early History of the Michigan Wine Industry )"'' 2009-2010 Michigan Wine Industry Research, State of Michigan, Department of Agriculture. Accessed: January 2nd, 2010〕 (However, it wasn't the very first commercial planting of ''vinifera'' since Tabor Hill Winery of Berrien County, had planted a few experimental acres of ''vinifera'' grapevines in southwest Michigan in 1969.)〔Sharon Kegerreis and Lorri Hathaway ''"(The History of Michigan American Viticultural Areas (AVA) )"''2009-2010 Michigan Wine Industry Research,

In the 1980s, the Michigan wine industry saw growth throughout the state as several American Viticultural Areas, including Fennville, Lake Michigan Shore and the nearby Leelanau Peninsula, were approved. The Old Mission Peninsula received its AVA designation on June 8, 1987. The leading force behind AVA recognition came from Edward O’Keefe, whose Chateau Grand Traverse was the peninsula’s only commercial winery at the time. Today the wine industry in the Old Mission Peninsula has expanded to include eight wineries and a thriving wine tourism industry.〔
