November 1, 2013 By Lynn Geiger   Anyone who has headed out the Old Mission Peninsula recently can’t help but notice the piles of dirt and earth-moving equipment about 3 miles up Center Road. That construction zone is site preparation and roadwork for the new Villa Mari Vineyard & Winery, slated to open fall 2014. The peninsula’s latest winery project is headed up by local entrepreneur Marty Lagina, who submitted the official site plans to Peninsula Township this week. There are currently nine acres of mature grapes growing on the approximately 26-acre parcel where the winery will be built at 8175 Center Road between Black Star Farms and Peninsula Cellars. Lagina plans to plant another 10 acres there, which will join the 50 acres of mature vineyards he has elsewhere around the peninsul... 11/01/2013

With apologies to the Beatles for my bad pun, M-37 (aka Center Road) on Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City, is becoming known as "Wine Road."  With 7 wineries either on Center Road, or easily accessed by this two lane road that traverses the west coast of East Grand Traverse Bay, oenophiles and foodies are making this a well-travelled road.  From Black Star Farms at the base of the peninsula to Two Lads Winery near the tip, these Wineries of Old Mission Peninsula (WOMP) are creating world-class high quality wines.  My personal favorite is Brys Estates Vineyard and Winery, owned by Eileen and Walter Brys, with wines created by master vinter Coenraad Stassen.    Old Mission Pensinsula is a rather narrow and long strip of land that divides Grand Traverse Bay into East Bay and West Bay.... 08/27/2010
