About Mawby Vineyards Larry Mawby founded L. Mawby Vineyards in 1973 with a parcel of land and a personal promise to make the best wines he could while respecting mother earth. Over the years his passion for sparkling wine developed with the realization that such styles are best suited for the Northern Michigan climate and growing region. Brothers Michael and Peter Laing, who combined have over 25 years of experience at MAWBY have taken the reigns to lead Mawby in to the future. The MAWBY vision remains the same as when Larry founded the company; to create the finest sparkling wines while respecting the land. “MAWBY” is a sparkling wine experience with vineyards and a tasting room located in the rolling coastal hills of Leelanau County adjacent to Lake Michigan. MAWBYness is a feeling of being, an everyday celebration, and a toast to life excluding none. All MAWBY sparkling wines and ciders are produced by fermenting two times to standards perfected over many years. The second fermentation takes place in a closed vessel, and produces a natural effervescence (MAWBY wines are not carbonated). MAWBY produces a range of sparkling wines with tastes to suit most any palate, each uniquely approachable, with their own personality and purpose.
