We came from humble beginnings...

Spicers have been growers of quality fruits since 1928. As a way to survive the Great Depression and WWII, Spicer's took fruit from the original farm in Novi to the Eastern Market in Detroit.  Four generations later the Cartwright and Spicer families began crafting Hard Ciders and Fruit wines. 

​Three men, all with something different to bring to the table, came together to create a new brand. An aspiring vintner making test batches as hobby. A farmer trying to help him find the best mix. And, a Dad trying to create a legacy for his son and his son's best friend. 

​It started out small. Everything was built and created by their own hands, their creative minds, and the grit to see it all through. In what used to be the gift shop of the market, a bar was built by the vintner, a menu created by the farmer, and glasses polished by Dad supporting the kids. 

A few polished glasses later and a few pennies saved an expansion was planned.  Neighbors, friends, and family thought we were building a wedding chapel. Designed after a beautiful carriage house that used to sit on the property a new wine tasting room and cidery were raised ​to create unique farm to table experience.
