We were driving to another winery in the area and saw Hickory Creek so we decided to stop and we were so glad we did! We were greeted by Adam who is the owner and he welcomed us,explained his wine offerings and even showed us the back room operation. This is one of the smaller wineries in the area but the wines we tried were fantastic. We did a tasting of 5 wines for 15.00 . We did a mixture of reds and whites and each one was delicious. They have a promotion ..if you buy 3 bottles of wine,the tasting is free. You can sit either inside or outside . Definitely a must visit when on the Michigan Wine Trail. read more

This is a small winery that is veteran owned. Adam the owner takes great care making small batch wines and it shows in the taste. He poured each tasting individually and talked about the wine leaving us time to enjoy it before pouring the next. He took the time to answer all our questions. We took advantage of the special offer where if you buy three bottles the tasting was free. I was excited to learn that a Dry Traminette even existed and it was very good without the sweetness. Besides that one we also bought the Neutral Oak Chardonnay and a Cab Franc, all delicious! We will definitely return to his special spot on the Michigan Wine Trail. read more

Mark set the bar high for the other wineries of the day. He was so attentive, informative, helpful, and friendly. We loved our tastings with him! Our group ended up buying 6 bottles, having an additional 2 glasses of mulled wine, and one glass of wine. If you're in the area (or even if you're not) stop in! read more

Noting that this place is consistently excellent. Large group wine tastings are such a good option for those local and not from the area. (I would make a reservation for groups over six people to ensure a spot.) The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. There are charcuterie boards and pizza options for those who want a quick bite. Worth the drive from wherever you are coming from. read more

Hickory Creek Winery was worth my while, both in driving out to the countryside winery and enjoying a tasting. The staff was kind and attentive, even as the number of wine tasters in the building increased. The wine gets four stars from me--I was a fan of 3/5 wines I tasted. If you're a rosé kind of person, then make sure you include it in your $15 tasting. It was my favorite sip of the trip. read more

A small but cute place! Very clean environment with knowledgeable employees. Has a nice patio where you can enjoy a glass of wine or have a wine flight! I had the apple wine while a few in my group enjoyed flights. read more

Stopped by Hickory Creek at around 2pm on a Friday. Our group got one glass of the 2021 Grüner Veltliner and a tasting. A (5) glass tasting was $15 and individual glass pours are offered in two sizes: 5oz or 7.5oz. It was a bit chilly outside so we sat inside the winery. It was rather small but additional outdoor seating is available for sunnier days. Soon after we started our tasting, a group of 9 as well as other smaller parties arrived. We immediately felt brushed to the side as everyone else began to be taken care of. It was about ten minutes that we waited for the second tasting glass to be served in which we had to go up to the bar and ask for it. If one sits outside, you get all tastings at once; but inside, they serve you one glass at a time which did not work out well in this instance. Our server was not giving us any information on the wines like the woman behind the serving counter was to guests. It was also disappointing to see so many awarded wines around the shop but none offered on their tasting menu. All of the wine glasses we had also had a particular smell that was off putting and took away from the tasting experience. Overall we were a bit disappointed after hearing such high remarks about Hickory Creek. read more

I have been going to western Michigan to wine taste since before they charged for tastings--that's a LOOOONG TIME! HICKORY CREEK WINERY is among the best and I'm glad I spent my birthday there this year. I don't like all the post-COVID changes, but all the wineries have made many so it is what it is. I urge you to visit! A special thank you to winemaker Jasmine Parkinson!!! She knows her wines! read more

This is a nice little place, friendly staff. The grounds are nice. I tried the Apple, Summit, Traminette, Gentil Rose, and Rouge Doux. They were good but I did not find any that I like enough to buy. I tend to prefer sweeter wines though. read more

A great spot on the wine trail--the perfect combination of a cool vibe, not too much merch, and chatty tasting room consultants. We walked away with three bottles since they have a special deal that 3 bottles or more cancels out your tasting fee. They also have outdoor seating and a bonfire pit. This was one of my two must-try spots and It was a good choice. read more

This was another outstanding winery tucked in the country side. It was easy to find. The house/tasting room was welcoming and comfortable. On this occasion Hickory Creek was hosting several parties with reservations. This was a bit odd to us as we don't usually encounter large parties, buses or limos at wineries. I will admit that the team here did an outstanding job managing these parties. My wife and I sat at a table inside and spent a lot of time with Jamie. Jamie knew his products and wines. He was very well versed at walking us through tastings to meet our tastes. He was very engaging and friendly. He did an outstanding job at managing all the tastings that were in process while making us feel special. Overall we found several dry reds that fit our pallet. We really liked the Pinot Noir. Give Hickory Creek a try ! read more

My friends and I came to the area for a bachelorette party wine tour. This location was the third stop on our trip. This is the smallest winery in the region but we got to interact with the staff the most at this location. They were super knowledgeable about everything and you could tell how much they loved winemaking. They greeted us outside as we walked up and gave us a choice of inside our outside. They let us know that could have a guided tasting inside or a flight board outside. We opted for the guided tasting since we all are pretty much novices. These were probably some of the more sophisticated wines that we tasted. I was not a fan but again I am not really a wine person, I was just along for the ride. We did get to try a test pilot wine that was made from hybrid grapes that didn't even have a name yet. That was pretty cool. We loved hearing about the history of things and getting a more in-depth description of each wine. And playing on the vintage tractor out front. read more

Beautiful outdoor scenery. We're greeted by one of the staff immediately. This winery is unique in that they give your selections in mini crafts and you have a separate glass for the tasting. Allows for proper tasting and even sharing if you desire. Bottles are a little more than other wineries, but reasonable considering the flavors we tried. read more

This place was amazing. Stopped in and did a wine tasting. Great conversation with the owner, who is retired USAF. This small business is the heartbeat of America. All the wine I tasted were excellent. The reds were the best! read more

We had a wine tasting at Hickory Creek with Adam the owner and it was fantastic! He did an outstanding job explaining the wines and leading the tasting. Everyone had a fantastic time and most importantly, loved the wines! Had to bring a few bottles home!!! I highly recommend this small family owned winery! read more

My husband and I came here while we were in the area to kill some time before our plans for the evening. The inside space was very small and we just happened to be there with 3 large groups. They do have a large patio with a lot more tables and seats for the warmer months. We did get to talk to the employees more once the larger groups had left and they weren't as busy. The wines were delicious and my favorite was the mulled wine which is only available on the weekends. read more

The wine here is amazing. Every time I come to Michigan I ALWAYS come here and leave with multiple bottles. The service is amazing. So friendly. Even the owner comes to talk to you. Do yourself a favor and skip the other wineries and come straight here! (You also get to sit down during your tasting. Which everywhere else you need to stand) 10 out of 10 read more

I went to Hickory Creek Winery as part of a bachelorette party. We were so well taken care of and had a wonderful time. We did the wine tasting and enjoyed each of the options. One of the members in our group only drinks white, and they customized her tasting options so she could still participate. We brought some snacks with us to enjoy, and they didn't seem to have an issue with that. We were surprised how busy it was when we went - we were glad we made a reservation, especially as a group of 6! We were there mid-afternoon on a Saturday. The weather was cold and snowy, so the space outdoors wasn't in use. It looked like a nice space for when the weather is nice! read more

This is a small tasting room, but don't let that deter you from going here. They have some unique and robust wines here. The semi-dry Riesling is superb. This is a late harvest Riesling that has notes of apricot, honey, and peach. The Niagara also had perfect balance, and while it might sound strange, you should try it. Ask for the Barrel Reserve with Syrah, Grenache, and Monteverde, it's excellent. Bottom line, they have unique quality wines here. They definitely know their craft and will be well known in the coming years. read more

Loved Hickory Creek Winery! They had some delicious wines and the person pouring was so friendly, helpful and well informed - it made Hickory Creek a very fun time! Hickory Creek has some very pretty grounds that made for great photo ops both inside and outside. They don't have seats for their tastings but it was still an enjoyable experience. It's a small area inside for tastings so they can only have a set number of people in there at a time. My group had to wait a bit for the last group to clear. We sat outside at their picnic tables cracked open a bottle of wine and swung on their tire swing. It actually worked out quite nicely having to wait. Once inside we tasted five wines and had the nicest guy ever serving them to us. A tasting is $8 but keep in mind they are very small so it's best to make a reservation! Made the whole experience great! It didn't hurt that their wines were very tasty, as well. Loved this winery mucho and would definitely come back again. read more

Great place. Friendly atmosphere. Good wine. Beautiful day. Met friendly people there, as well. Good times

I planned a roadtrip through the midwest a while back and Hickory Creek Winery was one of the stops on the itinerary. As I was driving through what seemed to be the middle of nowhere, I wondered to myself how it was that I heard of this place and why on earth I chose it. And then I arrived at this bustling and charming winery. I was surprised to see that it was just about packed with people relaxing and tasting wines. I had the obligatory wine tasting for $12 and I enjoyed the unique selection of wines, some of which made from fruits like apple or orange. I also had a lengthy conversation with one of the employees and I learned quite a bit about the area and the 39 wineries that make up the wine trail. I was disappointed that I didn't have time to stop at more, but I'm glad I was able to stop at this one! read more

Stopped in for a tasting on a Sunday afternoon. It was a nice fall day and they had a fire pit going outside.

Great wine tasting stop in Buchanan, Michigan. Get a reservation, for sure. They have a great story, and if you are lucky as we were, the owner Adam will be around and share his story. There were many Bachelorette events happening during our visit and folks, including the sommeliers, were enjoying themselves. Make a stop here. Try the wines you might not typically enjoy, you'll be surprised at the delightful flavors. Rouge Doux was what I walked away with, and wish I had purchased a few more. read more

Great experience! By far, this was the most fun and friendliest winery that we visited after a few days in the area. The hosts, Jamie and Michelle, were very welcoming and accommodating.
