    Patio

    Very cute small, sweet winery on Leelanu. Feels a bit quainter. We went as part of a medium sized group. They did seem to struggle with two groups coming in at the same time, and managing/serving the groups. We also had a bit of a struggle paying. I did like that the gentleman explained the wines and I feel like that is not happening enough anymore as winery scene has become popular. There is an interior area is nice, but they also have a covered patio area with heaters that look over the barn and the sprawling grounds. Their tasting is nice, a good variety. Each person found some they liked and some they did not. Worth checking out.

    I really liked my experience at French Valley Vineyard, first time in and their wines were delicious. Charcuterie Board was amazing. Service was perfect and such a cute atmosphere.

    This is one of my favorite wineries in the area! They have a great variety of wines and wonderful wine quality. The vineyard is on a beautiful property and while it doesn't have a lake view....the serene atmosphere is a keeper! I love to sit on the covered patio. This winery is kid friendly and has a play set on the property.

    Great atmosphere! Wonderful view of the lake. Loved the swings at the bar. Full bar plus wine and ciders. 5 stars all the way

    The white wines I tried paired very well with the fig flatbread. The employees were helpful with flavor profiles.

    Amazing lunch and wine tasting experience on a cold cloudy day in April! The space is so cozy and…read morewe sat by a lovely fire place. Our server Noel was amazing and made the best recommendations. We loved the Albariño and Northerner (a cab-Syrah blend) - both rare finds in Northern MI. Food was delicious and they were accommodating of my gluten allergy (make sure to ask the server about options as there were way more than the menu said). Can't wait to be back.

    Gilchrist is a charming house turned restaurant and winery in equally charming Sutton's Bay. We…read moremade reservations for lunch on a Saturday, though they were not overly busy during our visit. Two of the current Top Chef contestants were previously chefs here before filming. They have a good sized uncovered outdoor patio, and more limited seating inside. The interior seating has a homey feel, the decor is simple Northern, Lake Michigan. The menu is short, but a good variety of options, I'm not sure how often it changes, as the entrees during our visit were a bit more substantial, suited for cooler weather. We had Ceasar salads, Mac and cheese, burrata, and Chicken Marsala. I also had their soup of the day, a beef chili, my favorite item we had. We thoughts the Ceasar was a standard good. The Mac and Cheese was a bit boring and dry. The Burrata was great, nice fresh tomato's. We also enjoyed the chicken. I had a flight of three of their wines, nicely presented. I thought both of the whites, first fruits, and the Gruner Veltliner, were very good. Gilchrist is relatively newer to the area wineries and a nice addition.
