6 Best Wineries near Elk Rapids

“I love this place. Very rarely do you get to experiencing a paired tasting at an affordable price. Every employee was enthusiastic about the brand and was very knowledgeable. Nothing is worse than going to a winery/brewery/distillery and the server has no clue about the label. Will be returning! Please check this place out!!!“

“What a great visit today with Ernest! Had not been here in a couple of years and we wished we had started there today. Would have spent the entire day there. Ernest was fun, welcoming and did not rush us even though we got in close to closing time. Wine was phenomenal and Ernest was even better! Until next time!❤️“

“I was ordering a gift certificate over the phone for a private tasting and Jacob made the process extremely simple & was very helpful. He gave great details on the whole process which was much appreciated since this was for a gift. Wonderful guest service!“

“This was our first stop of the day and we will definitely be back! David was so sweet, helpful, and talkative (not to mention very generous with samples)! The former schoolhouse was a hit with our group of three teachers! Is so adorable. I have seen the wine in some major retailers in metro Detroit so, to be honest, I didn't have the highest hopes for the quality. I was happily proven wrong! It was our favorite stop of the day- due to both the amazing customer service and the absolutely delicious ciders. We had so much fun we lost track of time and were late for our reservation up the road. The option to make your own 6 pack is like putting a kid in a candy store. We left with three 6 packs, 3 separate cans, two bottles of wine, and 2 prowlers of root beer. Most of this, however, would not have been purchased if David wasn't there. I dare say we have a new favorite place for ciders.“

“People kept asking if we had been there in our many stays around Leelanau. Tried it and were happy we did! It's a nicer place. Actually good Michigan wine. Similar spectacular view as Brys Estate. Didn't have the drunken bus tour people. Dog friendly!“

“My wife and I were heading back from our day trip through the Old Mission Peninsula wine trail when we had to make a special stop at Bonobo. We found out from the girl at the bar that we had just missed Carter by a couple hours but nonetheless we enjoyed our glasses of Merlot and Riesling with our complimentary glasses. The atmosphere inside was very warm and welcoming. We'll definitely be back in the summer/fall when the outside patio will be open back up!“
