Came to Michigan to visit my younger brother, and my partner and I are very into wine tasting and…read morejust happened to be curious enough to look for one around the area we were in. We got to this place and were a bit timid. It looked like a house from the outside but, as you walk in, it's a wonderful looking store and winery. Everyone there was very nice to us. They were very genuine and forward with any answers they had for our questions. They serve cheese and crackers, kinda like smaller charcuterie boards so you can enjoy as you wine taste and they sell their own wine glasses as souvenirs inside the shop. For the wine tasting, they give you a menu of wines with their flavor profiles and a piece of paper where you write your desired sips to give them so they may prepare it for you as you go to your seat. They have outside seating and during the fall it is an amazing experience! I can't recommend enough coming to visit this place at least once, if you're in the area! It's a cute little place to come visit and the wine is very good! I recommend the A Maize 'N Blue if you like sweet wines!

My partner and I randomly found this winery when we were visiting his brother. We were kind of iffy…read moreabout entering because the location looked like a house, so it seemed kind of sketchy, but I guess it's true what they say never judge a book by its cover. The inside of the winery was super cozy. They had a seating section outside which was wonderful because it wasn't too cold or two hot, the weather was perfect. They offered a variety of wines. These included a preset menu or we had the option of choosing the wines we wanted to try. We also bought a charcuterie board which consisted of cheeses and deli meats. I bought some jam to spice it up. The wines and food were great! Finally the girls who were serving were super friendly. I would love to go back when we visit Michigan again

Visited Spicers this past Saturday and I was ready to face huge crowds and long lines…read more When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see abundant parking options! Although it was busy and there were lines. The line for donuts went by very quick! We got the cinnamon sugar and plain donuts and they were fantastic! They came out fresh and in bags of 6! It was perfect for mixing and matching. We also picked up two pumpkins to carve and they were priced like 50 cents a pound (don't quote me) Over all this was the perfect place to get me in the mood for fall!

I've been coming to Spicer Farm and Orchard every year with my family and friends ; it's become a…read morelittle fall tradition for us. However, during our most recent visit, we noticed quite a few changes from previous years, and unfortunately, not all for the better. They no longer have the scenic hayride that used to include a free donut and a cup of apple cider with your ticket purchase. Now, it's $5 per person, and instead of a peaceful scenic ride, it stops at every station and they no longer give you a donut & cider with ticket purchase. When we asked about the change, we were told it was because they weren't making money off the old setup. I understand businesses need to adjust, but it really took away from the experience. That scenic ride with the cider and donut was always one of the highlights for us ; something we truly looked forward to every year. They did add more bouncy houses for the kids, which is nice, but the ones they had before were just as fun. The food was about the same, decent, but nothing special. It was noticeably more expensive this year. $5 for a single ear of corn felt excessive. On the positive side, the cinnamon donuts are still amazing, and the apple cider is as delicious as ever. I also enjoyed the wine tasting, which is always fun, though seating is still limited and could be improved. Overall, the visit just didn't have the same charm or warmth as before. We still had an okay time, but it didn't feel as memorable as past years. Sadly, I think this might be our last year visiting, we'll probably look for a new orchard next fall.

Short drive away. With many signs leading up to the turn into the area. Follow the driveway towards…read morethe grass area for the pumpkin patch or towards the barn for pastries vs cider vs wine. Less parking towards the front. It's a decently large space situated on a hill. Regular restrooms and port a potties. The cider mill was unfortunately closed when I went mid week during the days it's very family friendly. On weekends it's supposed to be busier and the back bar by the field is open. Go early and find a spot. The cider is pretty good as well, does not taste super artificial fake apple tasting which is a plus. The donuts are obvi good but they are like cinnamon sugar (powdered sugar).

So I stop at this place, Uncle John's Cider Mill. You hear "cider mill" and you're thinkin'--quaint…read morelittle family spot, maybe some fresh donuts, bit of Americana, right? Nope. I walk up to the counter, ask for two apple fritters, and the lady hits me with "That'll be eight bucks." Eight bucks! For TWO pastries! I'm standing there like, "What, do these fritters come with a trust fund?" Don't get me wrong--they were good, but not eight-dollars-good. For that price I want them to cure my seasonal depression. Then the bathrooms--holy hell. You ever walk into a place and think, "Oh, I guess the zombie apocalypse already happened"? That was the vibe. Floors sticky enough to rip your shoes off, smell like someone's been fermenting cider in there since the '90s. I'm not saying I'm a bathroom snob, but for a place that charges artisan-pastry prices, maybe throw some bleach around once in a while. Overall--yeah, I'll probably still go back. I'm a sucker for cider mills. But Uncle John, buddy, if you're gonna rob me blind for fritters, at least make sure I'm not scared to wash my hands afterward.
