Dune Bird's Pink Plover Rosé

Bottoms Up
May 10, 2025

If you’ve been watching the Bottoms Up section lately, we’ve featured Rare Bird, Modern Bird, and now Dune Bird. (Spring is birding season!) Dune Bird’s Pink Plover Rosé is a true taste of summer, with notes of strawberry and watermelon that give way to tropical flavors like mango and pineapple. All that fruit comes through thanks to a long cold fermentation. Smooth and sweet, the rosé also acts as the base for the winery’s seasonal Pink Plover Punch. But this isn’t just a pretty drink—it also helps protect piping plovers and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, with $2 per bottle donated to Friends of Sleeping Bear in addition to a $15,000 pledge from the winery over a three-year partnership. Grab a glass (it’s for a good cause!) at 5620 N Manitou Trail in Northport. dunebirdwinery.com
