In 1998 founding partners Kerm Campbell and Donald Coe began the transformation of an 120-acre equestrian facility into a world class winery and agricultural tourism destination, capturing the essence of the surrounding land and lakeshore. The property was named Black Star Farms after the stylized star in the marble foyer of the estate house.
Founding winemaker Lee Lutes is a Michigan native with winemaking experience in Italy.
