They had one red blend but said the juice comes from California given this area isn't great for reds. It was $12 for a tasting of 4-5 wines. I liked the Gneiss white and semi dry Riesling the best, both of which were a little on the sweet side despite the fact I typically don't like sweet wines. They also have small bites menu but we were stuffed having just come from lunch so didn't try.

There is always something fun happening--whether it's live music, trivia nights, as well as every holiday (almost) has a fun theme and curated experience! And the pizza? The BEST!

If you love red wine, you really can't go wrong, but the MFR with a piece of hot, fresh pizza is next level.

Our host turned on a couple of heaters and that made it real pleasant. As for the wine, we liked the Dry Riesling and ended up buying a bottle. While we only really liked one of the wines, I would not dissuade you from coming here. It's setup well and the views are really nice.

Could not ask for a more romantic place. We witnessed the love between two beautiful souls and then went to the tasting room to celebrate with wine and some golf. Yes you heard me! They had a bucket/barrel and if you could make hole in one you would get a bottle of wine on the house. Now this bucket is a far ways away and the chance of making this shot is slim but not impossible. We did not make the shot on this trip but It definitely was fun watching everyone try! They had tables set out for everyone to enjoy the overlook and views while enjoying their wine. It was suggested to mix and match to create a beverage so I took and chance and was pleasantly surprised with the taste of Apple of my Elia and just peachy 50/50. We purchase a small batch of cherry bourbon for home as well as took part in an event the facility was holding on this particular day with Lakuna Links and permanent jewelry. What an excellent day all around. Torch Lake Cellars will definitely be a place in my book to stop again. Their slogan says it all. It's a grape Life!!!

You can definitely feel that the family is all in on their property and it's so great to see!

Honestly, though everything here is delicious and if you have a good driver, I encourage you to try out the lug, which is a cherry box that can accommodate testings of all of their offerings. On a sunny day, they have outdoor games and a corn maze if you are fortunate enough to visit in the autumn.

I really had high hopes for this place and please know the internet pictures make the place look bigger than what it is. The host was super friendly and tried to describe each drink the best but my taste buds said no thank you. One of the changes that they need to make is that they offer food on site from the food trucks but the only way you can get food is if you go inside and order which I feel that puts more stress on the person giving out drinks. We wanted to try one of the food trucks but when we walked outside that's when we noticed the sign and we did not want to go back inside and wait in line for food. Happy drinking!!!
