“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.“
“Fun staff and good wines!“
“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.“
“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??!“
“Can we talk about coming here in the off season? Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Just add snow with the view from the bar and it’s amazing. Lighter crowds more locals less obnoxious bachelorette parties. Fantastic reds! Good enough to bring me back the next day for a glass before we departed. Do yourself a favor and come up here in the winter.“
“Went back for a second time recently with my husband! The owner is very friendly! This place also has the best Sangria!“
“A peaceful setting to sip the wines and ciders on a sunny day!“
“Black Star Farms & Coordinators Danny/Meghan: Simply the Best Wedding Day!
If you are looking for an effortlessly beautiful, stress-free, and truly amazing wedding experience, book Black Star Farms immediately and ask for Danny and Meghan as your coordinators. Our wedding on September 19, 2025, was flawless, and it was entirely due to this incredible team and venue.
The Venue: Breathtaking Beauty
Black Star Farms provides a setting that is beyond comparison. The sights and views are spectacular—from the vineyard backdrops and rolling hills for our outdoor ceremony to the beautiful spaces indoors. The natural beauty of the property means you need minimal additional decor.
Beyond the visuals, the food was exceptional. Our guests are still talking about the quality and presentation of the meal. The entire experience felt sophisticated, local, and incredibly high-end.
The Team: Danny & Meghan's Excellence
Danny and Meghan, our coordinators, are truly the reason our day was so easy and stress-free. Their amazing communication throughout the planning process kept us organized and calm. They are masters of attention to detail, proactively handling logistics and ensuring every transition—from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception—happened seamlessly.
On the wedding day, they worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring all vendors were supported and that we, the couple, only had to focus on enjoying the moment. They are professional, warm, and absolute experts at what they do.
We highly recommend Black Star Farms, and especially Danny and Meghan, to any couple dreaming of an elegant, smooth, and unforgettable wedding celebration.“
“For exceptional sparkling wines in a picturesque setting, look no further than Mawby. They have a truly impressive selection, and all of the wines I sampled (Green, Gold, and Mille 2019) were fantastic. On top of that, the staff are top notch, not just in the service they provide, but also in their knowledge of the many different wines Mawby produces.
And if sparkling wines aren't your jam, their sister winery, Big Little Wines, is on the other side of the building. So if you're in the area, it's definitely worth a stop. You won't regret it.“
“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.“

“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.“
