9 Best Wineries near Elk Rapids

“I walked into Bos wine today and was greeted with nothing but smiles. The staff is the some of the kindest and most outgoing people I’ve met. They offered help for wine selection and made it very easy to find what I was looking for. I WILL most definitely recommend this to anyone in the area for a fantastic glass of wine and a lovely atmosphere!“

“AMAZING! Finally made it to Peninsula Cellars and it is now my favorite place, the cider and wine was so very good! The merlot slushie and in house sangria were so very delicious. Historic schoolhouse is so cute, Sarah was so very friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to go back!“

“Could not have imagined a better place for a wine tour and tasting! We came not knowing what to expect and our experience was more than we could ever imagine. The wines are SO good and knowing the work and love that goes into every bottle makes it so much more enjoyable! Nick gave us our tour and Olivia helped with scheduling this trip! Thank you SO much WaterFire Vineyards, we will never forget this experience!“

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

“We absolutely loved our tour with Jess yesterday! She is extremely knowledgeable about the history and process at 2 Lads. Her enthusiasm and zest for life show through. We loved learning about wine and it was so fun to hear her process for selecting the yummy cheeses and snacks that highlight the wines. We’ll be looking forward to wine club pickups and future visits to this spectacular location and an operation that is clearly doing things right. Thank you!“

“5 stars for the service. Mary greeted us right away, Branden was patient while I figured out what I wanted, and Marlen brought my kiddos some wax sticks to play with while my husband and I enjoyed ourselves.

I do think it is a shame that the best view (the backside) is where production is. Something for the owners to consider in the future.“

“We decided to stop by and check out Seven Hills! The service was top notch. They made sure we were taken care of the entire visit. The mule with vodka was pretty good! Very clean and cozy!

Was nice being able to grab a hot tea at the attached business inside the building. Perfect set up. Will return in the summer to check out the concert area looks awesome!“

“Great Wine, great atmosphere even though it was a busy Saturday. Bought 2 flights and a bottle for my buddies bday. Amazing staff with good recommendations and knowledgeable on the crushed grapes. Will definitely come back around for a flight or bottle, perhaps both. Well done!“

“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.“
