“Stopped in on Sunday 3/16. Middle of a snow storm but they were open. Guy was working the bar and was pleasant to talk witymh as I enjoyed a pint. He was informed of the industry and welcoming on a crappy day. I look forward to going again.“
“We hosted a meet and greet for friends and family last weekend the night before our daughter’s wedding. Nicole and her staff were amazing. They were so accommodating and their service was awesome . Highly recommend !“
“This place is magical. My husband and I stayed here 9 years ago and again this last weekend. And it was just as perfect. David, the innkeeper, is amazing! He really makes sure you feel special. The chef that prepared breakfast served a beautiful eggs benedict. Not to mention the lovely brunch with Santa event that we were lucky to attend, the food was awesome. Oh, and the wine is outstanding.“
“Green Bird is a little slice of Heaven! They even practice sustainable farming via their “flerd“ (flock of chickens and herd of sheep) who rotate through each row of vines. I sat down and immediately signed up for the wine club because I knew this was something I wanted to support! And yes, the server was new this season but very knowledgeable and warm. No high-brow wine snobbery here! P.S. wine and cheese pairings are fantastic.“
“Fun staff and good wines!“
“Went back for a second time recently with my husband! The owner is very friendly! This place also has the best Sangria!“
“Always friendly service, enjoyable and refreshing wines (our faves are the Chardonnay, Brut Rose, Auxerrios, and Pinot Grigio. Food options and fun and tasty. We also really enjoy the live music. Highly recommended for a fun afternoon for enjoying a glass, some snacks, great company and music.“
“This was our first time to this vineyard and it is a 11/10. Chuck was very kind and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was fun. The wine was amazing. I will definitely come back.“
“Four of us went there today on a friend's recommendation & Greg was absolutely Wonderful! Very informative & attentive. Told us about each wine & how they differed, etc. The BEST customer service we experienced in the Traverse City area!“
“Melinda took such great care of our group. We are Fizz Club members but our kidults and their partners had never been. Melinda took lots of time to explain the various sparkling wines and made sure we had everything we needed. She was very attentive despite it being a pretty busy afternoon in the tasting room. We stayed way longer than our reservation but never felt rushed out. Such a great place!“
“We are locals and frequent Hawkin’s Farm Cellars a lot. The service is friendly and the Thai food is exceptional. My husband especially loves the Pad Thai chicken and I am a huge fan of the Green Curry dish. You could literally close your eyes and just point to anything on the menu and never be disappointed!“
“If you'd like to visit a winery that knows a great Pinot Noir, this is a must stop in Northern Michigan. The Pinot Flight is worth it and the current ownership is dedicated to crafting a great wine experience. The 2021 is on par with the best Willamette or Russian River has to offer. It's a don't miss in my opinion.“
“We went here on a wine tour bus and it was a treat! Scott was amazing at explaining wines and a breath of fresh air to start the day! This was our favorite winery we stopped at for the trip. Each wine had a unique taste and there wasn't a single one we didn't like. Also the bottles were soooo affordable!! A must visit.“
“Wonderful view, loved the wine, and the staff were great. Highly recommended!“
“5 Stars – A Perfect Wedding at Black Star Farms
We just got married at Black Star Farms, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. The venue is absolutely stunning—set against the beautiful backdrop of Northern Michigan, it offered the perfect mix of elegance, charm, and natural beauty.
From the very beginning, the staff was incredible. Every single person we worked with went above and beyond to make sure our day was flawless. They were professional, organized, kind, and genuinely excited to help bring our vision to life. We never felt like just another wedding—they made it feel personal and special every step of the way.
Everything exceeded our expectations—from the planning process to the ceremony and reception. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue, the food, and the overall experience. If you're considering Black Star Farms for your wedding, do it. You won't regret it.
Thank you to the entire team for making our day so magical!
— Eric & Brittany“

“Great new spot! Liked it so much we ate there twice this week. Good wine, great food and wonderful service. Our new favorite place in Leelanau.“
“Two K Farms made for a pleasant experience. I’m never sure what sort of cider to expect when trying a new cider house, but they had a lot of great options. Plenty of drier ciders were available, and the Barrel Maker cider was my favorite. It was dry with some flavors of oak, vanilla and cloves, and 100% delicious. The tasting room was quite comfortable with nice views of the bay and landscape, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They even recommended an extra cider to my tasting when they saw my choices. I’d definitely buy their cider if I see it for sale, and you can’t go wrong stopping by.“

“A Hidden Gem in Northern Michigan – We’ll Be Back! This was my first time visiting this part of Northern Michigan, and stumbling upon Laurentide Winery turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. My boyfriend and I were exploring the area and decided to stop in on a whim—and we’re so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like family. We were greeted immediately with warmth and enthusiasm. It just so happened that there was an open house event the day we visited, and the hospitality was off the charts. We were treated to generous pours and delicious little bites perfectly paired with the wines. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly, and inviting. The winery has a rustic charm on the outside and is beautifully decorated inside—cozy yet elegant. We ended up buying several bottles thanks to the great deals and the quality of the wine. This was our first visit, but definitely won’t be our last. Laurentide is a must-stop if you’re in the area!“
