Among the many vineyards in Leelanau & Old Mission Peninsulas, Boathouse is a relative newcomer…read more Over the years we've done tastings at many Vineyards & often found the whites rather sweet & the reds not notable at all. Not HERE!! We had heard that reds were really making g headway in Leelanau & Boathosue is leading the way. Even their 2022 Chardonnay is quite lovely with notes of oak and spices. Meanwhile, I was take. Aback at how lovely their reds are. Fruity yet balanced & delicious. Their 2022 Pinot noir was wonderful with montmorency tart cherry notes. Yum! The 2020 Boathouse Red bursts with berries but not at all overpowering. Finally the 2021 Cab Franc was solidly balanced. Ask for John & go!

The service was friendly, welcoming, and patient as we took our time deciding what to order for my wine flight. The wines were all pretty good. I am not usually a fan of Riesling, but theirs was so good I bought a bottle to take home. The view was both peaceful and relaxing. The cheese board was perfectly balanced and complimented the wines we selected. This vineyard is small but mighty. Don't forget to check out the secret garden while you are there - it's stunning!

They also have some appetizers and charcuterie and salads and sandwiches as well for sale. You can either stand at a tasting encounter, or you can sit outside under tents with a beautiful view of the vineyards. The servers are very helpful and friendly and happy to explain anything you need to know. If you buy a tasting tower, you get five dollars off a bottle of wine if you purchase. Prices are good and the wine is excellent. We also had the pretzel bites and the Chardonnay cheese dip. It was very tasty.

But, I liked the smoky 3c's and the best seller, Queen Anne (blueberries and cherries!). Rose was on point, too.

This was the only winery worth going to this past summer! I will regret not purchasing more, and dream about returning to Green Bird.

So you can get tomatoes and zucchini with your wine. You can also visit their chickens and sheep. They have a small bar and shop inside their sorbet colored building, oldies playing in the background. A majority of the seating is on their patio along the apple trees. The service was excellent, the gentleman, George, working during our visit was engaging, and particularly kind towards the kids in our group. We appreciated that they were kid friendly (they have non alcoholic drinks and some snacks as well). I did not love many of the wines I tried, there were some ciders I liked more, and my friend really liked the Sangria. But I did love the environment and the overall feel, there's just a good vibe.

However, our wine group visited in October and we felt as though we were a bother and serving us a chore. On top of crappy service the tastings were TWENTY DOLLARS. TWENTY DOLLARS!!!

The servers seemed as if we were an imposition and limited us to tasting a single sip of 3 wines. We didn't find what we liked in those 3, so we didn't taste the other wines we were interested in. If I was to come back to this area, I would leave this one off the list.
