You can tell immediately how much the staff cares about giving every customer the best possible experience, and their wine, coffee, pizza, and hospitality are absolutely top-tier. I come to Petoskey just about every season of the year, and visiting Petoskey Farms Vineyard and Winery is always my number one priority. The scenic views of the countryside are breathtaking, especially with the beautiful lavender fields and the new grazing sheep, which are just the cutest! The staff are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, and they consistently go the extra mile to make you feel like family. Between the people, the atmosphere, the scenery, and the food, I seriously never want to go anywhere else. Thank you, Petoskey Farms, for all that you do!

Six of us visited today for a girls' weekend. My mother-in-law is a wine club member and planned to…read moreuse her two complimentary tastings and purchase two bottles of wine. We were also hoping to grab a table and enjoy a few wine flights. Instead, the owner immediately told us they were too busy to accommodate us. When my mother-in-law asked if she could at least purchase her wine, the owner told her she could "try to go in there," but they were so busy that it would take a long time for anyone to help her. She then told her that if she really wanted to, she could go to the left, grab her wine, and leave. We've been coming here since they opened in 2014, so this treatment was shocking and incredibly disappointing, especially coming from the owner. The most frustrating part? We walked into the retail area to buy the wine, and there was no one in there. There were also empty tables available. We couldn't help but feel that because we were on a girls' weekend wearing funny wigs, we were judged the moment we walked in and didn't fit the atmosphere they wanted. After years of supporting this business, they've now lost a loyal wine club member and several longtime customers. We will not be returning. If you're looking for a winery where customers are welcomed and treated with respect, we'd recommend Mackinaw Trail instead.

We stopped in while traveling up north and were pleasantly surprised to find a cute little wine tasting room in the small town of West Branch, of all places. I've been to West Branch several times before (we usually stay at a cabin on the water with our friends), but I've never seen anything associated with a winery here before, so I had absolutely no idea what I was missing! They had quite an array of reasonably-priced wines, starting around $11 and going up from there to around $22 per bottle. We were offered a free wine sampling of a couple of different varieties, including a semi-dry, but buttery chardonnay ($11), which had a nice, rich flavor for a lower-priced bottle of wine. I would recommend that anyone who likes white wines. It was a hit with me after just one sip. It wasn't too dry or too sweet. It had some nice, subtle notes that I could detect afterward. Next, we tried a chocolate wine. My husband was very hesitant at first, but came around on it after giving it a chance. I liked it, myself, too. It was a richer wine, probably not for everybody's taste, but I found it quite suitable. We were told it was infused with Mackinac Island Fudge, so that must be what gave it its incredibly distinct chocolate taste. If you like chocolate or fudge, this one is a winner. The manager/owner suggested mixing it with Modern Craft's cherry wine for optimal effect. He said the two bring out the best notes in each other. He then paired them together for me and you know what? He was right. Count me in! Another winner. He was both engaging and quite knowledgeable about the wines they had in stock. He definitely knew his stuff. Beyond that, there were several other interesting wines at a mid-range price point that looked worth trying, including a blackberry wine and a variety of lighter, fruity wines, suitable for a summer evening. They had a special on some discontinued seasonal wine, running about 50% off, which was a bargain. Aside from the tasting room, the space is home to a small gift shop featuring home decor and accessories. I didn't bother to check it out too well, but looking around I saw some cute things that I would like. I wish I had taken a little more time to check out the gift shop as well, but I focused my visit solely on the wine tasting. I'm really glad we stopped in. It made for most pleasant side trip foray. I would never have known this place was here if I hadn't decided to stop into town just to look around for an hour or two.
