We visited from out of town, everyone was super friendly and kind when we walked in. However, the systems were down due to a storm on 6/27/25 so we paid cash. I realized afterward that the female cashier shorted me $10. My total was $50.88 and I gave her $70 and she gave me $9.12 it is what it is but I am sure the drawer was over this day due to this.
Update: The owner went above and beyond to correct this. I wanted them to be aware of this mistake just so they knew why their drawer would be off and they sent me the money they shorted me even with it being a small amount! So courteous and clearly care about their customers. Can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been coming to Sandhill Crane Vineyards every year since 2013 and it’s become my favorite birthday tradition.
Every June 24th, I make my way back to this little slice of Michigan wine country, and it never disappoints.
See you all on Tuesday! 🥳

I loved this Winery&Cafe! Excellent wine and the food was even BETTER. The homemade Cinnamon rolls were my favorite. Live music and an amazing vibe. 12/10 would recommend. Can't wait to return!!

A Must-Visit Hidden Gem in Michigan!
I came from out of state to visit my family and we wanted a fun atmosphere to get some good grub and drinks. We found this quaint winery and let me tell you, it was an absolutely amazing experience. The wine was outstanding, the live music added a perfect vibe, and the food from Kitchen Little? Incredible.
We started with two cheese boards (yes, two — they were that good), followed by a variety of sandwiches that were hearty, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the wine. And the highlight? My dad got the biggest cinnamon roll we’ve ever seen! It’s so big it was practically a local landmark on its own!
Every detail, from the atmosphere to the friendly staff, made this a fantastic and memorable experience. Whether you’re a wine lover, foodie, or just looking for a great spot to relax, this place delivers. Highly recommend making the trip — you won’t regret it!

I was truly embarrassed. I brought two people to sandhill Crane for the first time because I love your place. However, the clerk who took our order was so rude and dismissive of our requests I was truly embarrassed. I live in Florida and love Sandhill so much that every time I came back to Michigan I made sure I made a visit. I cannot say that I feel comfortable any longer bringing newbies to Sandhill because of the reception that we received. This saddens me to no end.

First time visitor and I fell in love! This was the choose location for our bookclub meeting and it was wonderful. The atmosphere was was lovely, just so happened to have live music today. The staff were amazing, friendly and so helpful! Great wine selections and very tasty food options. Our table had a few grazing options and they were all so good that I had to get everything to take home as well! Definitely recommend 🫶🏼

My husband and I recently visited Sandhill Crane Vineyards and enjoyed the most wonderful food and drink. The staff there is outstanding and treat you as if you are family. They always have perfect suggestions for wines you may like to try. We especially loved speaking with Chef Jake who now heads Kitchen Little at Sandhill Crane. His focaccia bread was out of this world, and his cinnamon rolls were absolutely to die for! We can’t wait to go back and try more of his delicious creations.Everyone employee there goes above and beyond for their customers. You will never be disappointed when you visit this very special winery.

To the Wonderful Team at Sandhill Crane Winery,
I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for everything you do. From the beautiful venue to the exceptional staff and the outstanding hospitality, Sandhill Crane Winery has always been an incredible place to perform and experience.
Last night’s Valentine’s Day event was another perfect example of why I love working with you all. The setup was absolutely stunning, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the evening truly special. The staff was beyond wonderful—attentive, kind, and full of positive energy, ensuring that every guest (myself included) had an amazing time.
Over the years, I’ve been honored to be a part of various events at Sandhill Crane Winery, and each time, you’ve made me feel like family. Your continued support and the opportunities you’ve given me to share my music in such a fantastic setting mean the world to me. Your commitment to excellence shines through in everything you do, and I want you to know how much I truly appreciate you.
Thank you for creating such a special space for music, community, and unforgettable moments. I look forward to many more wonderful experiences with you all.
With deepest gratitude,

Pricing is unbelievable. We used to love coming here when in town with our friends. Times are tough everywhere but this isn't a fine dining restaurant. Last year prices on some wines went up twice. On certain wines there was a $7 increase. Their ciders are decent but $10???. It used to be affordable to come here. The food is subpar at best and extremely overpriced. I pay less for a Pizza, or Charcuterie at a nice restaurant at home in Grand Rapids. Half the time the cheese tastes as if it was frozen. You never know what you're going to get, what's in stock or the amount. The fresh baked cookies used to be delicious. The last cookie I had didn't even taste like there was butter and egg. It literally crumbled like sand. And the oil tasted old. The atmosphere is nice and peaceful especially when the music isn't on the deck. Which makes it way to loud to have a conversation. The hours make it difficult. Most of us don't get home until they close. Now that summer is over they close even earlier. I don't even want to drink before 7-8 pm nor do I have the ability. Maybe open later and close later. People work for a living.

This was a return group of us in celebration of my mom's birthday came in October of 2021 and now just revisited in celebration of my mom's 88th birthday on October 5, 2024. We had a group of 14 ladies and we're looking forward to this event it was a perfect beautiful Fall day. However, several of us were very disappointed in the experience. The staff was not very nice, actually most of them were pretty rude. The food was okay but overpriced for what you got especially the big charcuterie board which didn't even have the specialty meats only the salami on it. The winery was not even excessively busy at the time of the day we were there so not sure why out of so many things, including glasses for flights and the staff being like they were. We had been here before so we were very surprised that our experience was what it was this time around.
