The little lady working there, I wish I had asked her name, was so sweet! She was very welcoming when we came in and gave us a ton of suggestions of other places to check out in the area. The places is quaint and easy to find There is a small tasting room and a nice patio that overlooks the vineyard. They have live music one of the nights but we weren't visiting long enough to catch it. The wine was pretty good too! read more

We ended up at Cogdal because our B&B offered us a complimentary wine tasting. It was slightly out of the way on our road trip but we can't turn down free wine. I've never seen wine served in a muffin tin but it's a cute idea. Since I'm a sweet wine drinker, I chose the three sweetest wines on the menu but they have a lot of dry wines too. read more

Such a cute little winery with a great selection of wines! We prefer dry wines and the Merlot and Harvest Reserve were our favorites! We did a tasting of 6 different wines and everything was very affordable! Bonus is that it is dog-friendly! Such a great stop on our trip to the South Haven area! read more

So nice new wines. Price for tasting is OK but plastic cups are bad and to buy your own glass also bad. Pice on bottles to high.

Very nice to sample wine for a modest price during the Lakeshore Harvest Bicycle ride. The inside and patio area is very relaxing. Thank you for supporting the event. read more

Great location, friendly staff!! Great wine selection. Live entertainment on the weekends!

Great spot for a girl's day. They have very limited space inside so it could be tough finding a spot in the winter or rainy days. In the fall you could sit on the patio - they had some heaters or a fire - but each seating area does not have one. I am not a huge drinker but I ended up trying out the wine flight. It was pretty inexpensive as well! They serve it in a muffin tray which is genius. Everyone was very friendly and helpful as well. read more

Cogdal was nice...there were some good wines available. Their Rose, Cabernet Franc and dry cider were really good. As good as anything Ive had on the Sunset Coast. We ordered a harcuterie board...it was.on cardboard and assembled in plastic souffle cups...the wine tasting was in plastic mini solo cups as well. To me this was a little off putting but it was.a good value....2 tastings and the charcuterie "cardboard box" which included some salami...cashews...dehydrated cherries...chocolate pastilles, jack cheese...Club crackers, and some goat cheese totalled 22.00 ad we each got to select 6 wines/ ciders fir tasting. The cider was very good. The cabernet franc and rose were honestly very good. I was impressed enough to take couple bottles home. The tasting room and adjacent patio are very nice....they do close at 5 though so if you arrive at 430 you might get in a tasting....bottle sales end at 5. read more

I think the "could've been better" is a great summary of our experience at Cogdal Vineyards. We made this our first stop on a self-guided winery tour while we were in the area as a couple for a long, weekend getaway. The tasting room is about what you would expect on the inside -- a few tables, a bar area, and sales area with their various wines and retail offerings. They have a very nice outdoor seating space as well, but it was rather warm when we were in the area, so we opted to sit inside. The tastings are outlined on a laminated menu that describes each wine, but that's all you are provided. We both opted to do a tasting/flight. As you can see in the other pictures from visitors, the tastings are served in plastic cups (unusual compared to every other place we visited), even though they DO have stemless wine glasses that you can buy as part of the tasting. Beyond that, you were pretty much on your own for picking the wines you wanted. There was no explanation or recommendations from the host(s) about any of the wines. I mean, this seems to be part of what you are doing with the tastings... you are trying to sell wine, so SELL it to me. Tell me about the awards it has won, where the grapes are sourced, what background flavors or "notes" I might taste, etc, etc. You don't have to go overboard or anything, but most places will tell you a little blurb about the wine you are tasting... more than what I can read on the menu. They just served these up in "flight" fashion, handed them over, and that was it. All that said, none of the wines we tried were particularly noteworthy to us. We went on our way down the road after our brief experience here, and I can say that we don't feel any need to be back. read more

Cogdal Vineyards - Tasting room - Wineries Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

This winery is nice and close to South Haven, which is a plus! Their patio is amazing! So nice, tons of seating, spacious and well kept. The wine was good. I didn't get a chance to try the charcuterie plate they offered. They had some nice retail items inside as well. I wish they poured slightly more in the tasting glasses. It was so minuscule it was almost hard to tell what it tasted like. Could be we got a bad batch. Also, I think it's covid, maybe? But the disposable cups on the tray made for a really hard walk to the table. The wind would blow them around and it was super slippery. Other than that, we really enjoyed! I'd recommend a full glass on the patio if you go read more

We stopped in the other day for a quick wine tasting. The ladies that work here are super nice and not pushy at all. Their tasing is $5 for 5. My favorite was the White Cap. All the others didn't really appeal to me. Originally I am from California so I am used to California wines, I guess. The Michigan wines were bad by any means. Just not what I'm used to. The vineyard land is vast but the tasting room is quite small. The tasting bar probably could fit 10 comfortably. Occasionally they have a good truck there as well. But they offer free crackers while You're tasting and pretzels when you sit out on the deck. After we tasted our wines we bought a bottle of the whitecap ($15) and sat on the deck. The deck overlooks the vines and has multiple tables and seats. It was pleasant. read more

Stopped here while road tripping through Michigan; we almost drove right past it as GPS isn't clear. You have to drive down the path a bit in order to get to the building. Drive is nice- vineyard is beautiful. Parking isn't conventional; park where you can. Employees were very friendly and knowledgeable about the wine. We were immediately greeted and started our tasting. Tastings are $5 for 5 selections so between my husband and myself we tried everything they had to offer (except for the super sweet ones). The patio in the back looks like the perfect place to put your feet up and enjoy a glass of wine.. or several. However, I didn't care for any of their wines. I almost always leave a tasting with a bottle or two; they were a bit too sweet for my taste. read more

They practice solid social distancing with the outside tables spaced apart, the staff wearing masks and a requirement for customers to wear masks inside. They are both dog and kid friendly (just keep the dog on leash) and brought our dog water. They have light snacks to accompany the wine flights. The reds are very solid and have depth. The dry whites were good, but some better than others. The rose is really good. The bottle prices are reasonable. read more

Cogdal Vineyards - View of Cogdal's main patio. - Wineries Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

This place is really beautiful and it allows dogs. They have a wide selection of wines and anyone can find something they like. I went with my boyfriend who likes dry wines, and I like sweet wines. We were both able to find 2-3 wines we really enjoyed. The outdoor seating was really nice but could've used some fans or more umbrellas. This is a great place to go but pick a time or day that isn't too hot. read more

Not friendly what-so-ever and mediocre wines. Beautiful setting but disappointed in the service.

Cogdal Vineyards is very beautiful, but I have to be honest I didn't like even one of the wines and we tried SEVEN. We wanted to stay and enjoy the atmosphere but I didn't think any of them were worth buying a glass or bottle of. I am used to sweet wines being from Ohio, but these were not very balanced and cloyingly sweet even the "dry" ones. This is not to discourage you from coming here. The tasting room is beautiful and the outdoor patio is divine. It overlooks the vineyard and it's great for groups and relaxing along the wine trail. read more

Stopped by on a whim and had a lovely visit and tasting wit the owner. Brought in our own cheese and fresh bread from the Dutch Farm market a short way down the road from the winery. Ended up bringing home 3 bottles. read more

The staff at this winery was so incredibly nice. They were joking with us and wished my friend a happy birthday every single time that she came into the building. They had good Covid rules and I felt safe being there. I walked away with six bottles of wine because I loved it so much!! read more

Great wine, friendly staff (we loved Cindy), cute wine theme items for shopping, cozy outside patio. Highly recommend trying the sun dried tomato goat cheese. Overall, one of my favorite wineries we visited while staying in Michigan. read more

Watch out for the wild turkeys, just kidding they won't bother you but they're fun to watch from the patio overlooking the vineyard. Very relaxing spot with some really nice choices. I was especially impressed with how accurate the descriptions of the different wines and ciders were. Well run and worth the trip. read more

Very friendly staff and great wines. We did the 5 tastings for $7 and took home a bottle and a cute garden flag from their store. Nice day to sit out on the patio. read more

This place is amazing. Next time I am in Michigan...I am coming here. I would have loved to spend more time here. I wish there was something like this place in Illinois. You can sit inside or outside among the vineyards. They have wine tastings and wine by the bottle. The staff was so friendly. The wines were delicious. I was happy they had so many dry and heavier wines. Most Michigan wineries seem to be about the sweet fruits. This place pleasantly surprised me. read more

Unfortunately you can't give a zero star rating but driving up with two car full's of people at 4:59 PM on Labor Day Saturday and getting to the establishment and the staff putting a closed sign in the window and sweeping up the front as a dozen other people are imbibing on the porch is incredibly poor form. Obviously the owner was not present. Owner, please feel free to contact me, I'll be at MacIntosh Vinyards down the street. read more

Very nice winery. Deb was great at breaking down the wines. Sat fo their patio with a wonderful view of the winery. She periodically checked on us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. read more

This is a neat little spot. The decor is decent. The people mean well. But it lacks experience. It needs a wow pop to push it up a notch. Otherwise the wine, hospitality, is nice but I'd push for extraordinary. read more

I planned a bachelorette party and we went here for a wine tasting- it was great! Thank you to Jack, the owner, and his wife! They hosted the tasting and it was free for the bride, which is adorable. They were able to accommodate for 17 of us, although only 14 of us ended up showing. After the tasting, we sat on the gorgeous patio and he was more than willing to get a photo of us together. each of us bought at least 2 bottles to bring home. I highly recommend stopping here and sitting on the patio! I hope to be back sometime. Thanks again! read more

We have stopped by twice this season and both times have thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The ladies pouring the wine are some of the friendliest people around. They had us laughing and enjoying the difference between the wines we chose. We ended up buying a couple of bottles of wine and will definitely make a return run to South Haven to enjoy another fun Sunday afternoon. read more

Wonderful winery with a good variety of reds and whites! All wine is from grapes grown in Michigan! Bought three bottles for the holidays! Talked to the owner who said it was land from his grandfather that made up the vineyard! read more
