Cadillac Winery

We are Kevin & Jean, owners of Leahy Rock Vineyard and Cadillac Winery, and this is our wine story. Not your typical fruit farmers, we were educated in Public Relations and Accounting from Ferris State University and Western Michigan University, but our green thumb and love of wine led us to planting a vineyard in 2011 and opening a winery in 2013. ​The experts said “wine grapes won’t grow in LeRoy. It’s too far off the big lake,” but we were determined to prove them wrong. We had been growing little plots of vines for years. How hard could it be to do it in a larger scale? Hard, but when you are passionate about something you get it done. And, with friends and family help, we planted a lovely 10 acre vineyard amid family property that Kevin’s great, great Uncle George homesteaded nearly 125 years ago.
