“Beautiful people amd beautiful selection of cider and wine. The couple behind the counter were unique and genuine and such a pleasure to be around and definitely poured their attention to us as well as the place. We will be back one weekend soon to learn a lot and get drunk too. Salud 😉“

“We had a wonderful visit to Shady Lane Cellars while we were in the Traverse City area. Sitting outside with a glass of wine made for such a relaxing afternoon—the vineyard views are beautiful and the atmosphere is peaceful. Our favorite was the Pinot Gris. It was crisp, refreshing, and the perfect wine to enjoy on a warm day. The staff was friendly and made the tasting experience enjoyable without ever feeling rushed. We’d definitely come back on our next trip!“

“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 !“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fun staff and good wines!“

“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.“

“Friendly, knowledgeable staff and some great white wines!“

“The inn is very quiet and offers many facilities. Staff, wines and food first class. We have attended events and did the ultimate package. Everything was above and beyond what was described when booking. Beautiful property a short drive from Sutton’s Bay where several unique shops offer something to do if the weather turns.“

“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.“

“Very good wines. Had a flight of wine. 3 were dry white and one dry red. All were very good, a surprising blend of Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay was very good. Hadn't been there in a while, was glad we revisited. Will not wait as long between visits.“

“Went back for a second time recently with my husband! The owner is very friendly! This place also has the best Sangria!“

“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!“

What an absolutely wonderful experience at Willow Winery! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine hospitality, beautiful scenery, and an atmosphere that instantly made us feel relaxed and welcome.

A special shoutout to Tracy, who truly made our visit unforgettable. Her knowledge, warmth, and passion for both the winery and the wines were evident in every interaction. She took the time to explain each selection, answer questions, and make personalized recommendations that were spot-on. Tracy has that rare gift of making every guest feel like a VIP, and her enthusiasm is contagious.

The wines were fantastic, the setting was stunning, and the service was exceptional. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply looking for a beautiful place to spend an afternoon, Willow Winery is an absolute must-visit. Experiences like this are what keep people coming back, and Tracy is a huge part of what makes this winery so special.

We can’t wait to return!“

“A peaceful setting to sip the wines and ciders on a sunny day!“

“Pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed the wine, bubbly, snacks and views. Loved our server, Kelsie and the woman who welcomed us in they were so kind to share their fav places nearby and we loved our hike at bohemian beach so thanks! Wines and bubbly were all so good.“

“I have been to the Traverse peninsula Mission location several times but this was my first trip to the Sutton Bay location which is the original location. The place is absolutely beautiful. We arrived at the dog friendly outdoor tasting area and were greeted by a very friendly and helpful host. I apologize but I do not remember his name. He was very attentive to our needs and made several suggestions about the wines. We also had a snack and left with several wines. This years (2026) Cherry wine is fabulous. You are going to want several bottles for home. The Vinters Select is great too. Must go to place for sure!!“

“Loved everything we sampled, enjoyed the view & great service.👍🏼“
