We loaded up and headed out! The property is stunning and very picturesque, with plenty of seating for small & larger parties both inside and outside; including shaded patio seating. The staff was absolutely friendly and a delight. Helen and Janet were phenomenal. They gave us a history of the property, answered any questions we had about the process of the wine making, and checked in on us multiple times. Keeping the good vibes going! They have 12 drinks to try; 10 wines and two ciders, and sampling can be done various ways. You can purchase three tastings for $8, purchase by the glass or by the bottle. Additionally they have both a nonalcoholic and slushes with alcohol. Which was pretty sweet and refreshing on a hot day and already has us craving another one. Oh can't forget they also have some delectable ice cream bar flavors like strawberry lemon cake! I sampled all of the wines and two ciders. My favorite wines were the Itasca, Petite Peal, and Chambourcin. The Chambourcin reminds me of a flat version of the sparkling red they serve at Domaine Chandon, so I picked up a bottle to bring back home to a friend in California. I recommend paying for the charcuterie board as well as it pairs nicely with the wines. The cheeses, fruit and olives were all fresh and tasted great. Big thank you to Helen and Janet, for making our first trip up so special. Will be back for sure when in the area and will start recommending to all of our friends & family.

We arrived with a larger group of 9 from a conference and it was already fairly busy, but the bartender was a pro and explained the process quickly and took everyone's orders easily. By the time we waited in line to our purchase our items, the tastings were ready - it was fast! I tried the blueberry wine (perfectly persuasive copy!) and the two ciders. For me it was the ideal tasting experience. The salty nuts were just the right complement to the flavors of the wine and cider. The live music guitar player created a lovely ambiance. The views of the winery are gorgeous. Go. Enjoy. Highly recommend!

The live music and unbeatable weather for mid-May paired with our delicious wines and ciders made for a perfect afternoon.

As soon as we walked in, it was a large barn and had a very rustic feel. We were instantly greeted by a very friendly gentleman who told us all about the winery. We then went and sat done to order a flight of wine each. I had their Diamond '47, Ruby Red Sipper, Cherry and Peach wines. The first two were very nice dry red wines. They would go great with a meal. The last two were very good relaxing wines on a hot day. Overall, the wines were good. There is also a large outdoor area for seating and signs stated they had live music ever Friday with a $5 cover charge. I would like to go back and enjoy those nights. I enjoyed the stop at the winery. The staff was very friendly and the wine was good. They have a large variety available, including wine slushes. I will definitely stop back next time I am in town.

The building is adorable inside and the outdoor area is perfect for enjoying a few glasses. I actually really like the wine. Local vineyards' wine can be a bit iffy and young.

They have only Michigan wines, as a self serve wine bar. You start at the main bar to set up an account. They give you a card that can be slotted into one of the wine vending machines, each with four bottles, and three pour options. Everything is well labeled, the wines running from sweet to dry. They have a menu of appetizers, dips, charcuterie board, soft pretzels, flatbreads, etc. They also have some ciders, limited beer, and non alcoholic options. If you are not a fan of Michigan wines, you may not enjoy this spot. Our group had a variety of options, but like start it was a laid back place.

Being from SW Michigan where we can get to about 50 wineries in less than 40 minutes, I wasn't expecting Cascade Winery to be in an industrial type complex. But I was pleasantly surprised that the tasting room was pretty nice and quite large. They have lots of seating in the tasting room and another room for private events. Our pourer was the son of the owner. He was very knowledgeable and fun to speak with. We tried all the reds, a few whites, and a specialty wine. They were all very good. Cascade Winery doesn't grow their own grapes. A good portion come from Michigan and others come from California. The winery is also known as the Jaden James Brewery. We did not taste any of their beers or their mead. We came home with three bottles - Raspberry Chocolate Silk, Symphony Blush, and a Cabernet Sauvignon. I'm excited to share them with my friends.

We also were able to try the jalapeño wine. Not what I was expecting, but a great experience and a new taste! The atmosphere here is nice and down to earth. I felt very comfortable and the people behind the counter are really friendly, and eager to help. I'll come back here for some relaxing time to enjoy a nice glass of wine or cider.
