From OneRepublic to Winery: Zach Filkins of Filkins Vineyards

What happens when a world-touring rock star falls in love with Michigan wine country? We talk with Zach Filkins, founding guitarist of OneRepublic and co-owner of Filkins Vineyards in Coloma. Zach shares the story of how he and his wife, Lindsay, discovered Southwest Michigan's wine scene, purchased the former Karma Vista property, and transformed it into Filkins Vineyards. The conversation explores Michigan-grown wines, what makes their Sauvignon Blanc stand out, and why the future of Michigan wine is about creating its own identity rather than imitating other regions.
