Michael Kellogg
Assistant Tasting Room Manager

Hi, I’m Michael! I was born and raised in Leelanau County and returned to raise my family here after stops in Kalamazoo, Chicago, and Ann Arbor. I have over ten years of experience in the customer service industry including over seven at Zingerman’s Deli in Ann Arbor, where I cultivated a love of great food. The wine industry felt like a great next challenge and Laurentide is a place where I’m looking forward to learning and growing. I’m excited to help people find the wine that fits their tastes and to share the great varietals we offer, grown on Laurentide’s vineyard right here in beautiful Leelanau County.
