12 Best Wineries near Omena

“My husband and I visited the tasting room and was helped out by Tom. He was super friendly, kind, and knowledgeable! You can’t beat the tastings for $5 plus a glass! We walked away with a couple of bottles and we’ll definitely be back!“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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.“

““I would trust that lady with anything I put in my mouth.” — my husband, speaking about our lovely server, Teri. 😂

Not only was the wine great and the views absolutely breathtaking, but the true star of the show was our server, Teri. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines at Two Lads Winery, and my husband was VERY impressed with the flight she picked out for him. So impressed, in fact, that he broke his self-imposed wine-buying ban to take a bottle home. I also loved the lavender lemonade cocktail she recommended—it was delicious!

But the story doesn’t stop there. We got to chatting with Teri about some of the other places we were planning to visit during our trip, so we asked her for recommendations. She pointed us toward a winery we hadn’t heard of before, and it ended up being a huge hit! She also recommended a meadery because my husband is really interested in mead, and that recommendation was another home run.

It’s rare to come across someone who is not only knowledgeable about what they do, but genuinely enthusiastic about making sure you have a great experience. Teri absolutely made our visit extra special, and we are so glad we stopped at Two Lads. Great wine, incredible views, and an amazing server—what more could you ask for?

If you’re visiting Traverse City, put Two Lads Winery on your list. And if you’re lucky enough to get Teri as your server, trust her recommendations. Clearly, she knows what she’s doing. 😉“

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

“My fiancee (now wife) and I hosted our rehearsal dinner here. This was a new venture for the folks at Mawby, but you wouldn't know it. Wife and I loved our experience, and our guests adored the location and their visit. The staff helped us select the exact right amount of wine to purchase ahead of time, and they worked with our caterer to serve a magnificent meal. Not only are they a great location and wine, the staff could not be nicer and such a joy to work with. Thank you all for making our event such an overwhelming success!“

“I have visited Black Star Farms numerous times over the past several years for wine tasting when we take our yearly trip to northwest Michigan. My husband and I decided to join the wine club this past year because there are so many of their wines that we enjoy drinking year round, it is truly our favorite winery. We are obsessed with the dry reisling, dry gewurtztraminer and pinot noir rose! The outdoor tasting area is beautiful and so serene!

During this last visit, I discovered they held regular goat yoga classes, so my aunt and I took a class together. It was so much fun! There was a great mix of time interacting with the goats and taking pictures as well as flowing through a yoga class. The teacher was so sweet and kind and excellent at guiding all levels through a yoga flow. I would 100% do the goat yoga class in the future. Beautiful landscape, adorable and sweet little goats, a wonderful yoga flow and happy, relaxed people - would absolutely recommend if you are a fan of farm animals :)“

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

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