From Garagiste Winery to Busy Tasting Room!
Burgdorf's Winery was established in 2005 in a three-car garage, thus began as what is referred to as a “Garagiste” Winery. Deborah and David Burgdorf started their artisan wine making over 40 years ago as hobbyists. Deb is a Microbiologist who did fermentation in industry and research and Dave is an Agronomist who worked for the USDA as a Vegetation Specialist. Originally located in Haslett, Michigan, the winery continues to produce wines in their Haslett-based wine cellar and welcomes guests in the new Tasting Room attached to Choice Farm Market in Webberville.
The first Burgdorf’s wine was produced from an abundant crop of Black Capped Raspberries (which has since evolved into the double-gold winning wine called “Purrr-fection”)! Over the years, Deb and Dave improved upon the first wine making attempt and experimented with many different fruit and grape wines – many of which have won multiple awards.
Burgdorf’s winery is a Truly Michigan™ winery, producing wines onsite from fruits and vegetables hand-selected from local Michigan farmers. Those wines produced from 100% Michigan grown fruit are identified as True Michigan™ wines.
Burgdorf’s welcome you to their new gift shop and tasting room at Choice Farm Market where you can enjoy the country atmosphere and join your friends and family in tasting the many fine wine selections! The gift shop and tasting room is open year round (see Contact page for current hours). Check out our Winery Experience page for more details.
