A beautiful place to sit in Adirondack chairs, look over the vineyard and enjoy a glass of wine. Located on 76 acres of land, Modales wines are a variety of dry, sweet , red and white wines. We ordered our drinks at the bar, and service was good. We were going to try a flight, but you could not select the wines, so we opted to order single glasses instead. Even though this is a winery, I opted for a cider. They do offer tastings and tours. One of the previous times we visited, they had a artesian market. A serene setting to enjoy. read more

We enjoyed hanging outside with our two dogs on the Adirondack chairs in grassy area at Modales Wines. It was a cool, beautiful night and there was a "walking taco" truck when we visited. The wines I tasted were great and I especially liked the sparkling muscat and the pinot noir. Server (Lenora, I think was her name) was a delight and took time to explain what I was tasting. We bought several bottles to bring home with us. The view of the trails and vineyard were beautiful and calming. I would love to return to the winery and the Fennville area to get more wines. read more

We had a birthday lunch here and it was so much fun. The staff were knowledgeable and had great recommendations. I recommend eating beforehand or you'll be stuck with their expensive underwhelming charcuterie board. They have a ton of games to play inside or room to run outside for kids. Fun, relaxing, atmosphere read more

I don't think this place could be any better, honestly. Modern thoughtful and cool ambiance, fantastic spaces inside and out. Games outside, Instagram worthy photo ops, AMAZING staff. But above all, the wine is probably the best in the area. The Pinot Gris was the best I've ever had for sure. This is a must visit if traveling in the Saugatuck/Douglas area! read more

Modales Wines - Red wine flight - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Fennville, Michigan

A Tasting Room with Delusions of Grandeur Let me begin by stating that I've never been thrown out of a bar for boxed crackers and cheese before. There's a first time for everything, I suppose -- including a wine tasting room that thinks it's Buckingham Palace. We arrived at Modales on a slow day. And when I say slow, I mean the kind of slow where if you shouted "Hello?" you'd hear your own voice echo off a flight of empty wine glasses. Maybe eight people were present, and I'm being generous. Think library, not party. We asked to sit at the bar -- which, by the way, was empty and beautifully staged for tastings no one was having. The staff said sure, with the gentle caveat that we may need to move if a tasting started. Fair enough. We ordered a few wines and the infamous "variety" of crackers and a delicious small tub of Evergreen creamery (local) goat cheese. And then, the switch flipped. Suddenly, we were told we had to move because our cheese -- our barely-scented cheese -- might offend the delicate olfactory palates of future tasters. Tastings, mind you, that were still hypothetical. First of all: read the room. This isn't Napa. This is a quiet corner of Michigan on a cold wintery Friday. And no one is here. Second: if your wine is so fragile it can be derailed by a cracker, perhaps the wine is the problem. There's an undeniable formality here, the kind that suggests someone watched Sideways one too many times and decided to open a vineyard. The tone is serious. Self-serious. A little bit "we're doing something important here," as if fermentation is a philosophy degree. And please -- stop asking me to join your wine club. I just want a glass of palpable red, one of your very mediocre whites and the ok glass of cider not a lifelong commitment to monthly shipments and a mailing list. In conclusion: the wine was fine, remember it's Michigan not Healdsburg. The atmosphere was bizarre. And the only thing paired with our cheese was confusion. read more

We really enjoyed our experience at Modales! The server was so kind and the wine was tasty. I loved the orange/amber wine and ended up buying a bottle. The flights are only available on the patio so you might want to get a reservation. There was live music for the first 30m we arrived which was awesome. The weather was nice and the wine was flowing. We'll be back! read more

Very friendly staff. Helped me select the wine I needed to purchase. Person was very knowledgeable and made great recommendations

Modales has some of the best wines in southwest Michigan. The environment is nice and relaxing. Really great outdoor area. The owner and staff are very friendly. They often have live entertainment on the weekends, as well as some very good food trucks. Join their wine club and get better prices on the wine, as well as access to special club member events. read more

Would highly recommend. Great beer and cocktail selection. Fantastic atmosphere. Staff is amazing.

An absolute GEM right here in Michigan. To the quality of the wines all the way to how the wine is farmed and produced. You will not find a better vineyard in Michigan. Certified organic, sustainability regenerative farmed. It's truly something special that anyone who cares about wine will appreciate. Shout out to Cat who was our tour guide. She did such a Wonderful job explaining the process, cracking jokes and her knowledge having lived in California and appreciating viniculture was really cool. I stumbled upon Modales wines after picking up their skin contact orange wine in Meijer for 20$ and ever since I've been buying Meijer out every chance I get. Keep the great juice coming! read more

Modales is a must on any West Michigan wine tour. The grounds are lovely, staff is lovely, and the wines are pretty great. My party and I did a tasting over a bag of kettle chips and had zero complaints. We were all really pleased with our tastes. Better yet: we ordered another pour and walked through the vineyards. That was definitely the highlight of our visit. read more

Just went here to do a tasting. We were greeted, we seated ourselves. Everyone pretty much left. No service. One lady was putting together flights another was shooting the breeze with a customer, the greeter and other person left. After a few minutes we left. read more

Setting is beautiful. We rented a patio table which is nice to enjoy a flight or glass. Food truck was there so we could bring a heartier bite to the table. If you want to try different wines, I suggest doing to guided tasting at the bar. Like most Michigan wines, the whites are better than the reds. read more

Our first visit was earlier this year and we've been back multiple times since. Modales has some of the better wines in Michigan, at least from what I've experienced. I remember being surprised at how much I liked one of their whites and reds on the first visit. It was like, woah, this is better than the usual wines in Michigan and kind of caught me by surprise. It's a little off the main highway, but I think it's a worthwhile visit if you're looking for some good wine and a chill, friendly-family environment. They don't have a full menu, so if you're expecting to have lunch or dinner, expect to snack on some wine chips, cheeses and meats. While the wine chips are good, I come for the wine and environment. They have bigger events here and there, but I'm fine coming on a random weekday or weekend to sip on some wine and overlook the vineyard. read more

We really enjoyed our tastings at Modales. The facility is new and nicely designed. It's inviting and comfortable. George was an excellent server! He was personable in his own way and very knowledgeable about his products. The hostess was very friendly and helpful as well. We also enjoyed the small variety of drier wines they had. Good selection of dry wines for those that prefer something on the drier side. read more

Came for a friend's 40th birthday. We sat at the bar and had the flights. They were accommodating, and we enjoyed the wines and had good fun! We had the charcuterie, and many items were prepackaged that you had to unpack and set yourself up. They have a nice outdoor area where you can enjoy the view on some wooden chairs; it was a bit windy the day we came, but I hope others can enjoy it! read more

I went for a tour on a bachelorette and had an AMAZING experience. Our tour guide knew her stuff and was very down to earth. This is not the snobby winery experience. It was interesting and questions were encouraged. I was skeptical about a 90 minute tour and was not bored for a moment. The atmosphere was great, there was a food truck with delicious fries and chicken sammies. read more

Gorgeous atmosphere & phenomenal staff. stopped on a busy Saturday without a reservation. they were so happy to accommodate us. Our wine connoisseur was George. He was welcoming & knowledgable. He was great at recommending wines that suited us & was so hot doing it. Didn't eat here but was excited to grab a taco from the truck out front. Can't wait to return! read more

Thank you Jamell for the fabulous service! I just called for an unusual request. He was so accommodating. I will definitely recommend this winery. Although I haven't personally tasted their wine, this winery came highly recommended from a trusted friend who said "this is my favorite MI winery" read more

Great service loved our waiter George and John. Very nice people. Great wine. Good experience

If you think you know (SW) Michigan wine, think again!! Modales really was a pleasant surprise (with lots of truly DRY options). We did the sip & cellar tour with Joe (shout out! thanks for being awesome): Treat yourself to a behind-the-scenes experience at our winery. Enjoy being greeted with a taste of one of our most celebrated wines before we walk you through our vineyard (weather permitting), tell you our rich agriculture history, and then explore our winery's Barrel Room for a sample wine in the making. Afterward, relax at your private table with charcuterie, cheeses, and a freshly baked baguette as we pour you our small-batch wines It's not a huge space, so it was relatively quick but had some really cool experiences like eating grapes off the vine and trying an in-process wine barrel (with a wine thief gadget!!) The charcuterie, cheese & Field+Fire baguette is from Virtue across the way. read more

We did not have food. We saw the "charcuterie board" had saltine crackers and immediately passed. The wine was delicious, and we received several extra pours. Unfortunately, if the person that served us is there when we plan to return, we will leave. Talk about oppositional conversational styles. Obnoxious does not even begin to describe. Knowledgable but appalling personality. read more

What a great discovery! We were in the area and looking for another sipping experience and decided to give this spot a try...so glad we did! They had socially distanced (and separated) tables on their glassed-in patio area, right under the overhead space heaters. We each ordered a wine sampling tray along with a selection of snacks including local cheeses, meats and crackers. Our server was quite knowledgeable and pleasant as she guided us through the ordering process. We each had a selection of white wines, red wines and ciders. We did not like them all, but many were quite tasty...so mush so that we bought bottles to bring home for use during our family's Thanksgiving meal. We also brought home several six packs of their delicious ciders, an unexpected surprise. With such a pleasant weather day, good drink and food and plenty of tunes cranking through the sound system, we had a tremendous day to remember. read more

Very clean and appealing venue and was great with accommodating a big bachelorette party of 13

Came here for a bachelorette tasking for 7, we scheduled about a month in advance. The tasting was well planned, with waters, crackers, and pencils at each seating. George and team led us through the tasting with good banter, insight, and hospitality--and even asked to take a picture of us as a group. After the tasting at the bar we moved outside and had some great bottles of wine, bread, and local cheeses. The hosts outside were fantastic and also very sociable. Definitely would recommend! read more

Modales Wines - Wine tasting setup at the bar - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Fennville, Michigan

We decided to stop here on a Friday as we were from out of town and were just following signs. We were asked if we had reservations for a tasting, which we did not, but they were able to seat us at the tasting bar. We started to warm up from the frigid weather and perused the tasting options. No tastings on the bubbles. Wah wah! I tried the 2020 Pinot noir, the 2020 rose, 2020 chambourcin, grüner veltliner, and the brut red. They were all solid. Not one that I did not like. I enjoyed the rose quite a bit, but opted to buy the chambourcin because I know my hubby will enjoy it. It was definitely peppery with some cherry and mulberry notes. This winery is newer and beautiful! You can only do a tasting at the bar area, but they have plenty of seating and indoor/outdoor section covered for the weather. I'd love to see it in the summertime! We loved our server and I failed to get her name, or at least remember it after all my tastings. But, she has a six year old lab/shepherd she shared a picture of with us. She was an absolute great help! I also bought the Brut rose because I wanted to try it badly enough. Saving it for NYE though! If you spend $50, you basically get your tasting for free which is $15! You can also obtain volume discounts if you buy more than 6 bottles. read more

Great surprise visit!! Wine journey was fun. Ask for Zinderella. She was such a fun host for our wine journey.

For a Michigan winery, the wine was great. The space is welcoming and the service was great. They seem to have a good amount of business on weekends, so be prepared for a crowd. We were there on a Sunday which had a decent crowd but everyone was commenting on how busy it was the night before. read more

Okay so, not sure where I've been but I just found this place recently! We have had a house in South Haven for 4 years and I'm just discovering Modales! I'm so happy I did! First, the facility is stunning! So gorgeous and really practical. Tons of patio seating that is covered and the windows can be closed in the winter. So smart! We took the kids out to the grass and sat in lawn chairs while they played with a soccer ball that the folks at the winery offered to us. I had the brut white, which was super fresh and crisp! I decided I wanted a bottle to take home and they only sell it in 1.5L growlers...so I was like sure! It was only $10!! I feel like I was winning the wine game that day can't wait to go back to try the food and the gourmet ice cream! Yum!! read more

Small boutique "new" Winery with a family friendly feel. Apparently only 6-weeks old but their grapes have been grown off premise for the last 3 years. They plan to re-home the vineyards over the next few seasons which I think will only add to the simple scenery here. Honestly I didn't know Michigan had wineries. I came as part of a group from Chicago proper and was pleasantly suprised by the variety in flights! I typically trend toward bold reds and they have a few but their shinning star IMO is the Oodin Brut. The super cool thing here at Modales is they fill the bottles up as you order them. Also in the Tasting Room, they literally pulled Wine out of oak barrels by glass for us and provided brie and goat cheese along lovely fresh plums as compliments. Made the our whole experience unique and memorable! Yelp tip: Marco was the best! Gave us some extra samples, got us laughing & you can tell he truly cares about hosting with the mostest! read more

Great experience! Beautiful winery and George was so fun and friendly during our wine tasting experience. Would recommend.

We were traveling to the west side of the state & found this winery so thought we'd try it. Glad we did, great wines & enjoyed a whitefish dip with crackers. We will definitely come back when we are in the area next year! read more

Another Harvest Host win! We'd already stayed at most of the Harvest host locations in the area, and opted to try Modales this time. We liked it so much, we signed up to join as members, and plan to have this be our last stop of the day when we explore this region in the future. They have a pretty savvy strategy it seems to me, in that they stay open later than most wineries (8 pm on our fall Friday night visit), which makes this a no-brainer last stop on your winery tour if you're exploring the area. Their wines are also a massive upgrade from much of the region, and they seem to specialize in dry, which is our palate preference. They offer some light nibbles to accompany your wine tasting, but we had just finished a delicious dinner in Saugatuck, so we can only speak to the wine. I was as dazzled by the rose and whites as my husband was by the dry reds (particularly a red blend that we sampled a vertical of -- with the more recent vintage being grown separately and the 2018 version having been grown together). All the staff was incredibly present and it seemed like many of the folks who were there on our recent visit were members. If you're a wine lover who lives anywhere within an hour of here it's a no-brainer to join their wine club. You got a whopping six complimentary flights or glasses per month per membership, Plus discounts on your wine purchases and discounts on the many food and wine pairing events they host throughout the year. We are extremely grateful that they partner with Harvest Host, because after all of that wine we were very glad we only needed to stumble back to our camper van in their field instead of driving somewhere! Both sunrise and sunset here are spectacular, too. read more
