The best winery we visited in Traverse!!! Our friends had biked here when they visited a few months back and we were elated to try a winery none of us had experienced! It's exactly what you want in a cozy small business winery! Walking into the location, there's a pond w outdoor tables and Adirondack chairs. We had the best service w Sharlene- who poured our flights, Flora, Emily and Lily were very attentive and friendly, assisting w our questions and education of the property... the Manitou was soooo good and wish I could've purchased bottles but they were on reserve since they were low on their inventory. Tear. I also want to mention that we watched the ducks come out to eat! It put a happy face on everyone outside!
We never been here before. We get stuck in our ways and go to the same places over and over. I'm glad we came here to try some wines and eat some snacks and enjoy the view. All the wines we tried were great. We liked the white sparkling wine and the late harvest Riesling. We got the white fish pate from fishtown, always yummy. The outdoor patio was beautiful, and they have an indoor area to sit if weather wasn't good. 16 bucks for a wine flight with good pours. I also loved that they had an espresso bar. I needed caffeine and got a iced maple latte that was yummy.
This was a super cool spot that I had never been to. I have gone to TC and Leelenau several times, but I assume this place is newer based on the decor and the fact that I had never heard of it. So, I had to make a stop for at least one. The decor was awesome - I honestly am not sure why they had an airplane theme throughout the building, but it looked very cool. I couldnt help myself but to check out every room/seating area because I wanted to see all of the decor. There was a ton of seating - indoors, outdoors, in separate rooms, by a fireplace, near a pond, at the bar, in comfy seating, or at tables. The lady pouring the wine was super friendly, told us all about the place, about the wine. They even have a small espresso menu!! I only tasted two wines, a red and a rosé, and they were both good! Sadly, there were only a few couples there, and that was it. It was such a cool place, that I am hoping they are busier at some point!
A little hidden gem. Nestled in the rolling hillside, among their grape vineyards and fruit trees in Leelanau Peninsula wine country. Great ambiance sitting next to their little pond. Ideal on a sunny day sipping wine and enjoying small plates. We had the whitefish dip, with toasted pita points and celery. The whitefish dip was very fresh and had excellent flavor. Definitely worth checking out! The staff were very friendly and helpful.
This is one of our favorite wine bar and coffee houses in the leelanau peninsula! They had live music playing and is a great spot to catch up with friends, take care of some work while using their WiFi, or just take in the views. All of the staff were very friendly and you simply cannot go wrong with either their coffee or wine!
They may be closed for the season but when they reopen, you gotta get here! Because, wow! What a wonderful space. My family and I were staying near by and one day, driving around, we passed this place and I made a mental note because it looked really cute as far as I could tell. The next day we drove by again and noticed that in addition to the winery they also had a coffee bar. That's all we needed to know so we pulled off to go get our afternoon pick me up. I was so pleasantly overwhelmed by what we found. The seating area outside is just absolutely picturesque with the vineyards, small pond, tree, lovely blankets and chairs for gathering both on the grass and the patio, and beautiful gardens. On a sunny day it was a vision to behold! The building itself was really cool inside, with a minimalist rustic vibe of sorts? They had the aforementioned coffee counter along with a bar that included not just their wine options but mocktails made with some locally made spirits. They also had a light menu of food like spring rolls and bruschetta. Perfect for a little snack with a nice glass of wine or an espresso. Ultimately we were just rolling through so we didn't stay long but I absolutely cannot wait to go back. It's definitely a new destination for us in when we're out there for vacation.
My experience at Dune Bird, from the chic aesthetic, to the delicious wine, to the incredibly welcoming staff, exceeded my expectations, and I'm so glad we stopped here. The vibe was friendly and relaxed, and, being a boutique winery, it felt like they really cared about your individual enjoyment of the establishment. I wish I could've spent more time here. And I also love that they give some proceeds of sales of a certain bottle to saving the dune birds.
Dune Bird hasn't been around all that long, but it has quickly risen to the top of the list of our favorite wineries in Michigan. No trip to the Leelanau Peninsula is complete without stopping at DB. Whether we go early to enjoy a delicious coffee or stop by for some wine, we love sitting outside in the beautiful space they've created for their guests. We recently joined their wine club as I can't get enough of their wonderful wines. My favorites are the AV8 and Unoaked Chardonnay.
Wine and coffee? I'll take it! This is a must stop if you're in the Leelanau area. My husband did a tasting and I opted for the affogato. The espresso was amazing, it was smooth and paired perfect in my affogato. The wine was pretty good too. The staff were all very friendly and the inside had a couple different rooms you could sit in. My favorite was the outdoor space it is very large, and I loved the view of the pond. It was a chilly, cool day when we came, but they also have patio blankets you can use so you can still enjoy the outdoors.
Great addition to Leelanlau wineries! We went twice during our trip to the area as we enjoyed it so much. It is a bit further out from the other wineries, but worth the trip. The interior is modern, with a bar that includes a coffee bar. The other side of the bar has an outdoor window. The weather was beautiful during our visit trip, and we took advantage of the outdoor space. They have a good amount of seating area, with a view of their pond, as well as some yard games. A small play set and the open area made this child, as well as dog, friendly. The wine list is small, this may because they are new, but better good wines than a giant list of mediocre wines. They also have some small plates, we really liked the spring rolls. Lovely winery, can not wait to return.
First of all this winery is one of the most beautiful in northern Michigan. The aesthetic inside is upscale, clean, modern, and fun. The outside has lots of space to spread out on the patios or lawn. They have a small food menu that's more like tapas/appetizers but we made a lunch of it. The charcuterie is generous and better than others we've had at other wineries in Traverse City. We enjoyed our flights so much that we shipped some home to WA and my local mom joined the wine club. The staff there are attentive, friendly and helpful. They also have coffee and a few cookie options available. I really appreciate that it's kid friendly. They have a bunch of toys and games to borrow, a play set and yard games. We relaxed and enjoyed a few hours here.

Best winery on the peninsula. The atmosphere is family-friendly while still feeling elevated and sleek, overall just a really warm, welcoming vibe. The staff are knowledgeable and genuinely friendly. Come here for solid dry wines and some of the best sparkling wine around. Definitely one you'll want to check off the list if you're headed up this way. read more

Service was great, the server was sooo friendly and helpful! But this was our first winery experience here and it was disappointing because the wine didn't taste good to us. The place is very family friendly and I really appreciated that they had a changing table in the bathroom and a playground outside (and toys inside like blocks)! The outside is beautiful with a little lake and views of the vineyard. However, we were not impressed with the wine at all. It was sub par. I really wanted a sweet wine and the one we got was not sweet enough. The other wines we tried in the flight, were also meh. And this is just a personal dislike but it was a 90 degree day and it was so hot inside (she offered to turn on the AC and even turned the fans on but she said it would take awhile to cool down. I was surprised the AC wasn't on already and there wasn't that much of a breeze to make outside enjoyable). read more
Great place to relax and enjoy libations with live music and beautiful grounds. Order inside from knowledgeable staff who will help you make decisions to suit your preferences. We didn't order any of the food during this visit but loved the wine and the vibe. read more

Since I've been working in the Leelanau wine industry myself, I love checking out all the great wineries that customers recommend! Recently, everyone has been raving about Dunebird so I figured I would check it out myself. One flight of wine later, and I'm obsessed!! This winery has a great setting, perfect location, cool atmosphere, friendly and amazing staff, delish wines, and great food. I will surely be recommending this winery to other people and I will also be coming back in the future! read more
