Your Michigan Destination for Pies, Wine & Family Fun
Since 1972, Cranes Pie Pantry Restaurant & Winery has been a family-owned destination in West Michigan, rooted in tradition and community. Our business began as a small pie shop on our family's fruit farm and has grown into a multi-location enterprise encompassing restaurants, a winery, and seasonal attractions. We operate from our 124th Ave Fennville location and Crane's in the City in Holland, offering handcrafted pies, fresh fruit, and award-winning wines. Our family's commitment to quality is evident in every dessert we create and every guest we serve. We maintain deep ties to our local community through partnerships, charitable initiatives, and agricultural stewardship.Our U-Pick orchards, corn maze, and pumpkin patch provide seasonal family experiences that complement our core food and beverage offerings. With decades of collective experience in hospitality and food production, we ensure every customer interaction reflects our heritage of excellence. Our team takes pride in creating memorable experiences through our pies, restaurant service, and winemaking traditions. We actively seek customer feedback to preserve the personal connections that define our business. Through consistent quality and family values, we continue to welcome new generations of visitors to our Michigan locations.
