One of the greatest benefits of being an Ambassador for the Huron Valley Chamber of Commerce is the opportunity to meet the owners and staffs of area businesses. Recently I got reacquainted with Joe Sirl from Fenton Winery & Brewery, which is located just north of downtown Fenton. Joe does a lot of their community outreach and marketing stuff and he gave me an update on their banquet capabilities. I visited them when they first opened a few years ago and they had great plans for the utilization of the facility that they had just moved into at the time. It was good to hear from Joe that those plans have come to fruition and the property now offers a great venue for special events.

Our Banquet & Event building seats up to 280 guests and provides a beautifully rustic
feeling. Uniquely built, cedar sided, and set back in a wooded setting, this venue will compliment any event. Included is an outdoor patio area complete with a stone fireplace and an area for seating up to 150 people. Our guests have the option of true one-stop shopping to actualize their vision for events. Bridal and Grooms suites, on-site ceremonies, outdoor weddings with an indoor backup plan, in-house catering, and a developed network of partnering vendors for additional décor and entertainment services are among the most valued ease of planning features.
We offer an acre of park like space outdoors that can be outfitted to hold events up to 300 people during those gorgeous Michigan months. If you are seeking a smaller, more intimate location, our taproom area is cozy, inviting and has space for up to 35 people. Our Banquet & Event Coordinators work with each guest individually to plan and execute the perfect event. Our chef has designed complete menus
featuring delicious entrees, tasty appetizers & luncheon or casual foods to fit a wide variety of banquet needs. Our coordinators will happily arrange & price any specialty items that you desire.
Each year as we celebrate our Anniversary in late January a reflection occurs of what drives the continued growth of Fenton Winery & Brewery. Events like our Mug & Stem Club Appreciation Dinner highlight the support and advocacy of local individuals which we are incredibly fortunate to have received by the bushel over the last 9 years. Without our surrounding community believing in our mission, the current set-up of 20,000ft. split between two buildings and nearly 5 acres of total property would not bear our name. It is a far cry from the 2,000 suite in a strip mall on N. Leroy St that was originally called home.
The passion to continue to create jobs and provide a hub of community is of vital importance and makes the long days profoundly worth it. We have had the pleasure of working with seemingly countless community organizations and remain dedicated to expanding our scope. The mutual support with groups such as the Lions Club, area Chambers of Commerce, Adopt-a-Pet, local schools, cancer and other health based organizations, small
business and community development groups is the most rewarding part of Fenton Winery & Brewery.
It is an absolute honor to be chosen to partake in major life celebrations, like weddings and birthdays, and work with causes that so many dedicate their valuable time to propping up. Those are the things that allow us to have such an incredible staff, a client base of friends, and insight into the strength of those we are surrounded by in our neighboring towns. -Joe Sirl
Joe provided me with the write-up above and the pictures. If you haven’t checked out the Fenton Winery and Brewery, you owe it to yourself to take the drive to Fenton, Michigan and on through town on N. Leroy Street, which turns into Fenton Rd. About 2-3 miles out of town you’ll hit N. Long Lake Rd and see the Fenton Winery and Brewery. The address is 1370 N Long Lake Rd, Fenton, MI 48430. Call ahead if you aren’t sure that they’ll be open at (810) 373-4194. They are closed on Monday’s but open most other days. Their web site is http://fentonbrewery.com/. Check out this great local event venue for your event or just stop in and sample the great craft beers and wines that are made there.
