Our Story

Owners Steve and Jamie Ziolkowski

About Rose Valley Winery…

We are a small Northeastern Michigan winery that was established in 2007 by Adam and Nancy Kolodziejski. Steve started working for Adam in 2009 and learned the fine craft of winemaking, which led to a thorough knowledge of grape varieties and vineyard maintenance. Jamie joined them on the hospitality and marketing side a few years later. Steve and Jamie became owners in 2017. Since then, the tasting room was enlarged to include a “Knotty Room” and an outdoor serving area. Also, an additional tasting room was opened at the Outlet Shops of West Branch.

This was one of two vineyards from which we source our grapes. Hunting Hawk is in Hale and Broken Oak is in Rose City. Roughly 25 varieties of cold-hardy grapes were originally grown between the two.
