Chateau Aeronautique Winery, Blue Skies Brewery & Mile High Distillery ~ Irish Hills

Chateau Aeronautique Winery was founded by Lorenzo Lizarralde in 2008 on an Airpark north of Jackson with a home and a hangar on a grass runway. Wines were handcrafted in the hangar using Michigan grapes and aged in French oak barrels. Lorenzo, being an international airline pilot, incorporates the aviation theme with the Stearman biplane as the logo for the Winery, the DC-3 for the Brewery and the F-104 for the Distillery. Desiring to grow its own grapes for better control and quality, having outgrown the hangar, and given an abundance of requests to host weddings, buses, concerts etc., the Winery acquired 26 acres in the Irish Hills for a second, larger venue where production of our Wine, Beer, Cider and Spirits now takes place.
