8 Best Wineries near Elk Rapids

“Must do if you've come to the Traverse City area and want to taste Michigan wine. These folks know what they're doing and are making great wine. We enjoyed a relaxed tasting in the garden and liked all the wines (more than we expected!). The service was easygoing (in a good way) and informative. We also tried a cider that was complex and earthy. Don't sleep on those. While the reds were on the pricey side, the Rieslings are very reasonable and absolutely worth taking a bottle home. Or more than a bottle if you aren't flying!“

“Always a favorite spot! The cider is fantastic!“

“Beautiful setting to sit and enjoy Northern Michigan. Their estate wines are wonderful and the owners explained how they are grown naturally and organically. Bottles made great gifts for our friends downstate that don’t know how good Northern Michigan wine is. Owners were super nice!“

“Beautiful winery, amazing service, and a beautiful view!“

“Can we talk about coming here in the off season? Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Just add snow with the view from the bar and it’s amazing. Lighter crowds more locals less obnoxious bachelorette parties. Fantastic reds! Good enough to bring me back the next day for a glass before we departed. Do yourself a favor and come up here in the winter.“

“My husband and I had a wonderful experience on the patio with Heidi and Annie. Heidi was so helpful and very gracious to me in our selections and accommodating to my allergy to gluten. We felt very welcome the most welcome in all of Traverse City.“

“Stopped in to pickup a bottle of red wine and wanted to show a friend how nice this place was. Last time we did the dinner and wine package. The grounds of this place are absolutely beautiful. Grab a glass of wine and sit out back on the patio or by the grape vines.“

“I like this winery because the staff pays 0 attention to you, which is a great thing in my opinion! You can wander around and do whatever you want. Lots of seats outdoors. I was able to see the grapes still on the vine. I had a riesling, very good. Not bad prices for a flight. around 20 bucks for 2 people.“
