Behind the Bottle: The Story of Modern Craft’s Unique Flavors

At Modern Craft, we’re all about breaking the mold of “traditional” wine and having a bit of fun with our bottles. Wine doesn’t have to be stuffy or complicated—it can be an adventure in a glass, a little taste of Michigan, and something that feels just as good sipped on a Tuesday night as it does at your holiday get-together. Our unique flavors, like Northbound Fall and Cabin Cider, were crafted with exactly that in mind. Let’s take a closer look at what inspired these local legends and why you’ll want to give them a try the next time you’re looking for something different in your glass.

The Heart of Michigan in Every Sip

We’ve got Michigan’s seasons to thank for some serious flavor inspiration here at Modern Craft. From crisp autumn air to cozy cabin vibes, there’s a richness in every season we just can’t get enough of. So, we thought—why not bring that magic straight to your glass? Our winery lives and breathes the spirit of Michigan, and we love working with local ingredients to bring you flavors that capture the essence of the Great Lakes State.

Northbound Fall: A Little Piece of Autumn Heaven

First up, we’ve got Northbound Fall. This flavor is basically Michigan’s fall bottled up for you to enjoy year-round. Imagine crunching leaves, that perfect cool breeze, and the taste of apple orchards with a hint of spice—that’s what you’re getting with Northbound Fall. It’s like taking a road trip up north without ever leaving home. This one’s perfect for sipping with friends around a bonfire or even on a quiet night in with a good book. And if you’re planning holiday gatherings, this bottle right here will instantly give you those cozy autumn vibes.

Cabin Cider: Winter’s Best Friend

If winter had a best friend in a bottle, it’d be Cabin Cider. Inspired by those snowy days when you just want to stay in, throw on some flannel, and sip on something that warms you up from the inside out. Cabin Cider brings a bold apple flavor with just enough cinnamon and spice to make you feel like you’re in a cozy cabin tucked away in the woods. And here’s a little tip—this wine is amazing served warm, mulled style. Just pop it in a pot, heat it up a bit, and get ready for a glass of pure winter comfort. Cabin Cider is the perfect wingman for those chilly nights.

Wine That’s Made to Be Fun

Let’s be real—wine should be fun. At Modern Craft, we’re here to break the wine norms, which means you won’t find any fancy, unpronounceable wine terms or rules to follow. We’re all about unique blends that shake things up. Our flavors are crafted for those who want something a little less “traditional” and a little more “me.” If you’re tired of the same old, same old, then we’re here to bring a fresh twist to your glass.
