12 Best Wineries near Leland

“Every year we visit Leland we try all the local wineries and every single time we are blown away by Verterra's wines and staff and wonder why we wasted time trying wine anywhere else. Their Late Harvest Vignoles and Reserve Red Cab are my fiance's and I's favorites. The prices are very fair, and the staff have always been friendly and personable throughout the years. The tasting room can get crowded but when it does we just take a quick trip to the cheese shanty for a sandwich, by the time we are done the tasting room has usually cleared out, but it's def worth a stop. I have not had wine here that I did not like so I recommend stopping by the tasting room on your next visit to Leland or buying a few bottles online (their wine mail packaging is great to hold on to for traveling between households as well. we've kept packaging from past orders for parties and events because it keeps the bottles secure and safe.)“

“My Husband and I were here yesterday and absolutely loved it! Might be my new favorite. Great wine selection and the coffee bar is a great addition for coffee lovers like my Hubby. The staff is amazing and so friendly. I loved the welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be back!“

“What an absolutely incredible place. We arrived after being rudely turned away from a cidery down the road. Not sure what to expect, but with a packed parking lot we knew this place was special. The line was long but the staff was unbelievably efficient, we had drinks in less than a couple minutes. I had a N/A craft cocktail "Fools Gold", it was amazing. 15 of us were treated like family, we headed out to the deck and were blown away by the stunning view of the bay. High on the hill this place was breathtaking, even on a cloudy grey sky fall afternoon. This "Fools Gold" drink was so amazing I had to ask what was in it and how it was made, they again didn't hesitate to answer all my questions and even share a few secrets. I mentioned the poor service we had at Two K Cidery and instead of taking an opportunity to bash the competition they didn't, what they did do was apologize on Two K's behalf. WOW WHAT PROFESSIONALISM!!! We bought items from the gift shop and thanked them immensely for their generous service and hospitality. We HIGHLY recommend putting Suttons Bay Ciders on your MUST STOP list, you will not regret it.“

“Absolutely amazing. Great views and wine. Service was OUTSTANDING.We had our dog with us and they treated her and us so well, they went above and beyond.Bob is the absolute best(Did she get her own stack of salami? She did! )PS: the pretzels are insanely good. I’m not even a pretzel person but I’d come back for more.“

“What a great spot for lunch and a delicious glass (or tasting flight) of wine. So glad they created this awesome spot, and their patio is great on a nice sunny day in Suttons Bay! The people that work there are super friendly and helpful. The food, wow! Very high quality and very delicious. We had the burrata salad and winter daal, so good. ?“

“This is one of my favorite wineries in the area! They have a great variety of wines and wonderful wine quality. The vineyard is on a beautiful property and while it doesn't have a lake view....the serene atmosphere is a keeper! I love to sit on the covered patio. This winery is kid friendly and has a play set on the property.“

“If your visiting traverse City area for the winerys then I 110% recommend you put this place on your list. We went to about 10 different winerys but willow winery was the best. I absolutely LOVED every sample. The owner is super sweet and passionate about her business, wine and making sure everyone has a good experience when they visit. Really cute atmosphere as well!“

“This place is 10/10 worth visiting! We did a farm tour and tasting with Tim, and it was great from start to finish. We are pretty picky about wine, but enjoyed everything we tried. Not usually a big fan of cider, but theirs is fantastic and something I would definitely purchase. We will definitely be back again.“

“Great service and very knowledgeable about the wine's offered. We came in for a tasting, and left with 6 bottles! As we tasted, she knew exactly which direction to take us to get us exactly what we were looking for based on our reactions and feedback.“

“The innkeeper's name is David. Such a wonderful gentleman. His attention to detail, learning all of our names, what we enjoy drinking and eating is out of this world. He is so pleasant, kind, patient, and has a great attitude. Anything you need he is on it. The rooms were all very clean, updated, and spacious. We really enjoyed the private cocktail hour and snacks. the complimentary tastings in the barrel room, and cheese dinner. I will come back here again just for the personalized attention and memories.“

“On the advice of tourists we met during our stay in Michigan, we went to taste the Big Little wines & were particularly surprised by the Pinot Gris which was excellent. The person at the bar was extremely friendly and we had a great time in the middle of the Michigan vineyard!“

“Beautiful location. They have indoor and outdoor seating. For outdoor seating they have an open patio as seen in my photo, and then two sizable tents with cute lights and heaters. Their cherry pie dessert wine is amazing. Staff is super friendly / knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!“
