They had one red blend but said the juice comes from California given this area isn't great for reds. It was $12 for a tasting of 4-5 wines. I liked the Gneiss white and semi dry Riesling the best, both of which were a little on the sweet side despite the fact I typically don't like sweet wines. They also have small bites menu but we were stuffed having just come from lunch so didn't try.

A perfect stop between Traverse City and Mackinaw City, this charming, cozy, epicenter of hospitality has so much to offer. The market has a fun selection of locally-curated items to its own homemade pies, soups, salad, and in-season produce. 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!

On our latest visit while they were out of bottles of my favorite cider, which is the hard red, a combination of apple and cherry it was still on draft so we enjoyed a flight of four and hiked up the short hill to enjoy the scenic overlook that is waiting for you. Everything we tried in our flight was delicious and we ended up with bottles of everything to bring home. My personal favorites were of course the hard red but also the cheeky cherry, which is a sweet cherry wine and the botanical which is a semi sweet pear tasting cider. Service is always friendly and accommodating. On our way out, we visited the farm shop and picked up some cheeses and a apple cider donut for the road. Cheers!
