Welcome to Zephyr

 

Where you’ll find Michigan's longest by-the-glass wine list, great beer, cocktails, espresso, and food. All in Downtown Marquette.

  • Zephyr Winebar + Café

    Open 4:00–10:00pm Tuesday–Saturday

    No reservations, just stop in!

Our menu is filled with wines that have soul,

that tell their story. The story of where they’re from and how they came to be. While it takes more effort, we’ve found these well-crafted wines across all prices. Explore the world, we'll be your guide.
The same enthusiasm goes into our food. We choose our traditionally cured meats and cheeses the same way as our wines, by tasting them. Our small plates, soups and desserts are homemade, starting with simple, fresh ingredients.
Wine, beer, cocktails, espresso and a few great things to eat in Downtown Marquette in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Introducing Sean Hartwig

It is with great anticipation and happiness we announce the transfer of ownership and operation of Zephyr Winebar + Café. Daniel Rutz, family and dedicated staff have operated Zephyr Winebar + Café since its inception in 2016.

The vision, name, staff and love of great wine and accompanying food will be maintained and expanded upon going forward. New proprietor Sean Hartwig looks forward to sharing his love of food, wine and service cultivated in Southeast Michigan as a Manager at Zingerman’s Delicatessen in Ann Arbor.

“I feel incredibly grateful to be a part of Zephyr’s next chapter. I’ve inherited a beautiful, intentional space, talented staff and good will from the community at every level.” Sean looks forward to meeting the local and regional community and learning from the business community of Marquette.
