“Friendly, knowledgeable staff and some great white wines!“
“A peaceful setting to sip the wines and ciders on a sunny day!“
“We spent the afternoon e-cycling between Sutton’s Bay and this winery. What a great stop on our way! We drank some really nice wines and enjoyed a lovely charcuterie board as well. A beautiful stop that we will certainly make again and again!“

“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 !“
“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!“
“We’ve visited Verterra Winery in the Leelanau Peninsula multiple times in the summer, and it has quickly become one of our favorites! The wine is fantastic—we especially love their sweet white wines. We’ve been to both the tasting room and the vineyard, and both offer such a great experience. The vineyard is absolutely beautiful, especially with its stunning views of the lake.
The staff is friendly and welcoming, which makes the visit even better. If you’re a wine lover exploring the Leelanau Peninsula, Verterra is definitely a must-stop for delicious wine and a memorable experience!“
“This is a favorite of ours! Beautiful grounds, great location between Traverse city and Suttons bay, a wonderful suite we stay in that is on the first floor. Also, it's just like home from the demeanor of the Inn Keeper to access to all areas including the library and pub, with plush leather seating and decor reminiscent of a classic fox hunting lodge. Breakfasts are special and delicious. Wine tasting room next door, grapes growing alongside, view of the horse pasture and great walking trails. What more could you want??!“
“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!“
“My family came here for a Leelanau Peninsula wine tasting tour, and this couldn’t have been a more perfect first stop. Mark was our incredible bartender - he was a genuine and friendly informant on all things wine. He even recommended wines based on what our favorites were, you could tell it was a passion. The views were STUNNING and our tasting on a Tuesday was complimentary!! Get on down to this winery right off Lake Michigan.“
“Dave, the Hospitality Director, is fantastic—he truly made our experience exceptional. He goes above and beyond, and honestly, deserves a raise.
The wines were solid across the board, but the standout for me was the “sandpainting” Champagne-method wines. Once they warmed up a bit in the glass, they showed real complexity and impressive length. I bought some back vintages they had in the back to compare.
The vibes? Immaculate. Highly recommend all around.“
“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.“
“Our first visit since new owners took over during the Covid years. Tracy & Harry have created an atmosphere with elevated interaction with customer attention unmatched in the region. Wine options are fewer than most wineries, but they are all solid offerings. We prefer dry wines, so the Pinot Noirs were our favorites and the whites were also enjoyable. Very much worth a visit for the tasting experience.“
“Wonderful view, loved the wine, and the staff were great. Highly recommended!“
“Beautiful campus. The tasting room is very nice. Love the building structure. The wines are always good the spirits are OK. Most of the staff was wonderful and interactive. One was kind of rude and really didn't know what she was talking about when discussing spirits and mixed drinks. If she doesn't know, she should just say she doesn't know. Overall, good place to try some new or an old favorite from Black Star.“

“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.“
“Delicious ciders. Tried the Sangria and the Apple Crisp. Both were very tasty. Price was fine. We went and sat out on the patio chairs and enjoyed the view of the bay and the surrounding area. Very nice. Must be a popular place with popular drink because had some local customers ordering A LOT of the beverages to take home. Service was excellent and friendly. Highly recommended if you like hard ciders.“

“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!“
