My family and I went apple picking at Jacob's Farm and had a great time! We were able to find some…read moreapples, but most of the fruit such as apples, peaches, pears, and cherries was already picked over, so I'd recommend going earlier in the season. It was a little confusing at first since no one was around to guide us, but a kind staff member eventually helped. You pay after picking by Venmo, cash drop box, or at the bar. Just note that if you pay at the bar, tax is added. They had live music while we were there, the pizza smelled amazing, and the cider options at the bar were great. They also have a corn maze, which looked fun, though my husband chickened out thanks to Children of the Corn . Overall, it's a good family spot. Just plan your visit early for the best fruit-picking experience!

My Fiancé got a vodka, blueberry honey, lemon and lavender cocktail and said it was phenomenal. I got a Terra Firma Red, great beer from a local brewery. We didn't sample the food on this visit, but the people around us were loving on the pizza, which looked amazing, and the rest of the menu looked fantastic as well. My brother and his wife say the food is outstanding as well. Live music on the weekends in a beautiful setting. Don't forget to go through the corn maze when it opens as well. We will definitely make this stop again when we visit up north.

This was the first visit I've had to Willow, and really enjoyed it. My friend had been there during…read morethe previous ownership. Willow may have the best view on Leelanau. The winery is adorable, and the patio is even better. Their spritzer on the patio, on a beautiful day, was perfect. Their service was standout, they took the time for small touches: brought water and cherry bbq local chips immediately, bought water bowls for dogs, and took photos of the group. Tracey, the owner, was fantastic! She was both personable and efficient. Willows wine list is short, so they do have room to grow. We had a great experience and would go back.

The owner Tracy was terrible. We were there today with 10 of us with no reservations. She told us…read morethat if we didn't want the table there would be 10 more behind us. Super rude! Note: they do not have any sweet wine. Been coming to traverse city for the past 5 years - no one has ever made us feel so unwelcome. Go next door to Suttons bay ciders, nicest guy!

The waitress was very cheerful and attentive making for a fun experience. The happy hour at this place can't be beat half off all drinks. The drinks were all delicious.

I am a big city, five star diner, and this place was very good. Everything about this place was great. Service, food, dessert. I had burrata, salmon and chocolate cake. We had almost everything on the menu, and the execution was consistently excellent. James was our server and he made sure that everything went smoothly. His backup team were young guys who did a very good job as well. I am not comparing this place with fine dining in a major city, but that is where I do most of my dining. For a meal in TC, this place is awesome! I also stayed at the hotel, which is excellent! They have a giant room with a fireplace where we spent two hours after dinner. I will definitely return to this property on my next visit to TC!

Anyway, the shops are teeny tiny but pack a wallop by being beautifully curated and uniquely configured. I think I purchased more here than I have at any other shopping excursion I've had all year. They've got a shop dedicated to alpaca wool goods, a more gentleman focused shop called the Haberdashery, a pet boutique, a used bookstore, a toy store, and many others including my favorite of them all, Moonstruck Gardens, which is packed full of delightful art, stickers, home decor, and more. They also have dining options and a coffee shop if you're thirsty or a little peckish. The layout can be a little confusing but there's plenty of signage to help you along the way. But the beauty of it is just exploring and finding the fun around every corner.
