Chateau Grand Traverse Wineries • $$
12239 Center Rd, Traverse City - 5.49 miles

“I brought my partner here for his birthday and we had a wonderful time. Sherrie was our guide for our private wine tasting (highly recommend!) and she was excellent.

She is very knowledgeable and I hope that, one day, she opens her own bar in the area, as she has been in the industry for a while and know so much about what pairs well with what. She made our experience even more delightful than it already was.

We ended our tasting with live music by Rob Coonrod.

The tasting was an hour in a private area and the music, currently, Thursday through Saturday (if I’m remembering correctly).

The photo is from our experience outside. The inside experience (private wine tasting) was in a barrel room and smelled soooo good 😋

I’d recommend this place to any wine lovers, especially Michigan residents, as many of us do not get to experience our state in this way if we live in larger cities.

Enjoy! 🤍🤍🤍“

“This is a good brewery restaurant in a fantastic location. The drive up is beautiful and the sunset over the bay is spectacular. It’s worth coming just for the location.

For food mushroom pizza was delicious—chewy, fluffy crust, bechamel sauce, and mushrooms. The nachos were so so—chips with a big pile meat and cheese just in the middle.

The beer is great. I tried La Roja, which is a barrel aged sour amber ale. It’s different from most other beer and worth trying if you’re open to wild fermented, sour beer.

The service was fine but busy. My waitress served like barely had time to take my order, but she was friendly.“

“Would I recommend? Hmm. Our server was great ( I wish I got her name) but she was overwhelmed and they were under staffed. The food? Not great. Everything was overdone. The cornbread was dry. I ordered the seared tune salad and the tuna was more medium well. The music could have been a little more upbeat for a weekend. While we all ( a party of 6) ate our food, it wasn’t the greatest. It may have just been an off night, every restaurant has some. I felt bad for our server. She was such a sweetheart. She can’t control the cooking staff or management. Management needs to learn that they need to take better care of their staff to make sure that patrons experience is above satisfied. Will I come back? Maybe. But it might be a long while? Will I recommend? If someone asks me about I will be honest. Will I come out and say you have to go there? No. But I won’t discourage anyone from trying it.“

Bowers Harbor Vineyards Wineries • $$
2896 Bowers Harbor Rd, Traverse City - 4.97 miles

“My wife and I visited Bowers Harbor Vineyard recently and had a great time. The whole place has an easy, laid-back vibe - not fancy or pretentious; just a spot where you can relax and enjoy yourself. They have several different outdoor spaces. We were lucky to snag a couple Adirondack chairs under shade trees overlooking the fields. The servers were very nice and helpful. The wine and snacks were great. We would definitely come back again.“
