How Modern Craft Makes Its Unique Wines

Looking for something fun and different to do? Modern Craft Winery isn’t your typical wine stop—it’s where tradition meets a modern twist. We’re all about breaking the rules and making wine fun, flavorful, and, most importantly, you. Let’s pull back the curtain on how we do things around here and why our wines are anything but ordinary.

What Makes Modern Craft, Well, Modern?

At Modern Craft, we believe wine is more than just a drink—it’s an experience. Whether you’re sipping it straight, mixing it up in a cocktail, or pairing it with your favorite foods, our wines are here to add a little spark to your day.

Forget the stuffy wine talk. We’re all about bold, fruit-forward flavors and a laid-back vibe. Apple, cranberry, cherry—you name it, we’ve probably turned it into a delicious wine that’s as versatile as your favorite playlist.

How We Do It

Here’s the lowdown on how our wine magic happens:

1. Picking the Perfect Fruits

We don’t just stick to grapes. Why limit ourselves? We go all in on fruits like apples, cherries, and cranberries from local sources where possible to keep things fresh, vibrant, and a little unexpected.  We don’t grow these fruits.  HA! 

We’re flavor junkies – not farmers.  We let the farmers do what they do best so we can do what we do best – That is, crafting unique flavors that break free from the ordinary world of red and white wine. 

2. Fermentation with a Twist

This is where the real fun begins. We use a proprietary process that combines old world techniques with a modern fruit infusion process. 

We make small, hand crafted batches with red and white wines.  Then, we carefully add just the right touch of what is best in the fruits to bring out those bold, juicy flavors you love. It’s like unlocking the best version of the fruit, but make it wine.

3. Crafting Wines for Every Mood

With three ways to enjoy it can’t get any more adventurous.  Straight up (or over ice), blend two wines together, or mixed in your favorite cocktail, our wines are made to play by your rules. Wine slushies? Done. A splash in your sangria? Absolutely. Make it your own—do what makes you happy.

Come Taste for Yourself

Wondering where you can get in on the action? We’ve got tasting rooms in Frankenmuth and West Branch, and they’re perfect for trying something new. Bring your friends, grab a glass (or two), and explore our lineup of bold, mixable flavors.

No fancy wine knowledge required. Just good vibes, great wine, and a space to enjoy it all.

Why Modern Craft?

Because we believe wine should be fun—not pretentious. We’re here for the mixers, the experimenters, and the “I-don’t-usually-like-wine” crowd. Whether you’re looking for a bottle to bring to a party, a gift for someone special, or just a way to treat yourself, Modern Craft has something for you.

So, what are you waiting for? Swing by one of our tasting rooms, and let’s make wine fun again.
