A perfect stop between Traverse City and Mackinaw City, this charming, cozy, epicenter of hospitality has so much to offer.

The Tasting Room is a comfy spot, appointed with more tchotckes, nibbles, a fireplace, and an array of respectable wines and ciders to try. You can stroll around the grounds, see the scenic views, and relax over a flight of unique and tasty beverages. Most definitely a must-visit stop!

Despite absolutely huge crowds coming in, owner Marie, spent over an hour with us as industry bloggers sharing the history, production and products. This property is absolutely incredibly situated to have views of both sides of Mission Bay, and it's incredibly gorgeous. The investment in the property is immense with the incredible clean lines of rolling Hill vineyards, a massive world-class tasting facility, production room with lots of space, and retail products display space. Seating is all over, from the back rolling Hill patios, two front balcony terraces. They are well-staffed to handle large groups and give everyone great smiling friendly service. My glog has all the wine details, and we had 'finds'. Unique were the distillery items too. See wine-sage review for wine details. Overall the experience was reminiscint of the best we've seen in expensive California, with better views! Thanks Marie for the memorable experience. Definitely go.

For starters, the drive alone is worth the visit- stunning views all around on the old mission peninsula north of traverse city. Upon pulling up, we could see they were quite busy but we're able to take our two kiddos, purchase some glasses of wine and sit in the shade on the grassy patio overlooking the vineyards. They have a bar and snack area on the lawn along with cornhole. It was a perfect spot for us to leisurely pass the hour with the kids and enjoy a fabulous glass of gerwitzemeiner. I'm still thinking about the glass of wine paired with Parmesan crisps- heaven. We don't drink much for health reasons but this glass was definitely worth cashing in my "monthly drink chip". Highly recommend a visit here! PS: try their lovely lavender soap and lotions from the secret garden shop on site.
