Uncle John’s Offers Food and Wine Tasting at Lansing City Market

Uncle John’s Cider Mill just north of St. John’s is hailed as one of Michigan’s finest agricultural tourism destinations, with its cider mill, orchard, bakery and winery. Owner’s Mike and Dede Beck will now be showcasing their extensive selection of wine and hard cider at the Lansing City Market.

Alongside their wine and hard cider, Uncle John’s Fruit House Winery will also offer seasonal products like cider, blueberries and apples. It will also provide anyone with a hankering for Uncle John’s baked goods (cider donut, anyone?).

“The Lansing City Maket gives us the opportunity to connect with our customers when we are closed,” says Mike Beck, owner of Uncle John’s Fruit House Winery. “We're hoping that my customers can get [what they need there] and we're also hoping to find some new customers that would come out to the cider mill [who have never been]. It's kind of a two-way street for us.”

The Fruit House Winery also offers a tasting experience similar to that of the one at Uncle John’s Cider Mill.
