Such a fantastic Sunday afternoon spent learning a ton from Lorenzo. Very knowledgeable and has great stories to share! I loved the pairings of wines and cheese. Their tasting room is gorgeous and the staff is wonderful. Very highly recommend to even spend an evening on the runway with a glass of wine!
  • Taste a minimum of 10 wines
  • Ornate wine bar
  • Onsite airpark
  • Scenic forested setting

Before it was tamed, the wild grape was the scourge of the valleys, mocking the looks of recently sheared sheep and running away with farmers' sons. Drink to the fruits of cultivation with today's Groupon to Chateau Aeronautique Winery in Jackson. Choose between two options:

  • For $60, you get a private wine tasting for four (a $120 value).
  • For $30, you get a private wine tasting for two (a $60 value).

A commercial airline pilot, Chateau Aeronautique owner Lorenzo Lizarralde combined his passion for flight and viniculture by opening a winery on an airpark. The grounds boast an onsite hangar and vintage airplane, elegantly evoking the past without forcing patrons to don sepia-toned glasses. The winery's visitors are invited to Lizarralde's indoor, ornately decorated and marble-topped wine bar, where they may taste a minimum of 10 wines, including pinot gris, cabernet franc, chardonnay, and riesling, accompanied by cheese and fresh-baked baguettes. The tasting glass is yours to keep for future sips or percussive additions to kitchen-based utensil bands. Post palate-pleasing, guests are taken on a private tour of the winery, which was designed after chateau wineries of the Bordeaux region.

Reviews

Chateau Aeronautique Winery was mentioned in the Kalamazoo Gazette and the Hour:

  • Owner Lorenzo Lizarralde greeted us in his beautiful gazebo tasting room and then gave us a tour of his winery, located in his home at the Williams Aero Estates, an airpark where home owners have their own hangars, airplanes and grassy runway. – Phyllis Rose, Kalamazoo Gazette

About Chateau Aeronautique Winery

Lorenzo Lizarralde's two passions—winemaking and aeronautics—may seem unrelated, but they coexist in harmony at Chateau Aeronautique Winery. There, the tasting room shares its space with an airplane hangar and grass runway on which the vintner lands his 1956 Cessna 172 and his newly acquired 1940 Stearman Bi-Plane that is featured on every bottle. Fermented from Michigan grapes, the chateau's handcrafted wines span the gamut, from dry to sweet taking inspiration from the wineries in Bordeaux France imparting wafting strawberry bouquets, apricot aromas, and floral notes.
