My niece had her 50th birthday party it was amazing such a beautiful winery. I flew in from Georgia and was excited to hear they ship there I did purchase 2 bottles before going back home.

Casual, hidden gem less than 30 minutes from Ann Arbor. We will definitely be brining people here when they come to visit.

no notes. absolutely loved everything about it from the ambiance to the different flavor profiles of all their offerings. will definitely be visiting more regularly.

This winery is worth the drive!(approximately 40 minutes from Ann Arbor). We had a wonderful conversation with the owner Michael and enjoyed flights of red wine and hard cider along with a cheese and cracker plate. He makes the sangria fresh every day, and it was my favorite from the wine flight. There is indoor and outdoor seating.

Awesome experience!! Super wines and ciders

Black Fire is located a bit off the beaten path, but it’s definitely worth a stop. The bartender was welcoming, and they have a good variety of drinks. They have wines, ciders and beers, and I sampled a bit of each. I should note, I mostly got sweeter drinks, so I can’t speak to their drier stuff, but what I tried was delicious. The fruit wines and ciders had bold flavors without being cloying, and the beers didn’t have any off notes. I think they’re doing a good job in a comfortable, homey atmosphere. It was definitely worth going out of my way to stop by.

Love the place!. We always meet people to talk to you. And we like the owner Michael. He's a great guy and they've got good stuff. Charcuterie board's pretty delicious!

This is a regular stop for my partner and I when we can get away for a quick date. The wine has been wonderful whether we do a tasking or just get a glass of our favorites and we love sitting outdoors taking in the scenery.
Briana Bogoski
One of my favorite wineries/breweries to go to. I love the Nectafarious. We always bring a bottle home and if they have their Irish Red on tap, it is my favorite beer.
Very nice spot, very tastefully decorated. Yummy ciders, nice staff, immaculate bathrooms!

Would give zeros stars if that were an option. We went to enjoy tasting and we were told that I could not have my service dog. First by the employee and then by the owner, that rather than asking the legal questions, chose to seem to think my dog was required by law to wear a vest. Sir, you are concerned about being sued regarding a dog bite? You should be concerned about being sued for turning away a federally protected service animal. You don't get to decide if a dog is a service dog
Under both Michigan law and the ADA, the definition of public accommodations is very broad. It includes:
hotels and other lodging establishments public transportation and terminals, depots, and stations restaurants and other places that serve food and drink service establishments, like barbershops and doctor's offices any place of public gathering, such as an auditorium or convention center gyms, bowling alleys, and other places of exercise or recreation recreational facilities, such as zoos and parks libraries, museums, and other places where items are collected or displayed publicly educational institutions, and social service centers, like senior centers, homeless shelters, and food banks. The ADA establishes a civil right to bring your service animal into a public accommodation. Michigan's service animal law is included in its penal code, which makes it a misdemeanor to deny you and your service animal access to public accommodations.
If the tasks your service animal performs for you aren't obvious, the public accommodation can ask you only two things:
whether the animal is a service animal, and what tasks it does for you.
The facility can't do any of the following:
ask about or require documentation of your disability require documentation of your animal's status or training, or require a demonstration of the tasks your animal does for you. A public accommodation can ask that your service animal be removed from the premises if it isn't housebroken or it's out of control and you're not controlling it effectively. If this happens, you're still entitled to use the accommodation without your service animal. You can't be asked to remove your animal because others are allergic to or afraid of the animal.
Under the law, your service animal must be under your control and wearing a harness, leash, or other tether (unless your disability prevents you from using one or it would interfere with the animal's ability to do its job). A public accommodation can't isolate you from other customers, treat you differently, or charge you a fee because you use a service animal.
Educate Yourselves. But I am happy to spend my money elsewhere.

The owner was very nice. Beautiful ambiance at a quaint location. Great place for a date, girls outing, or just to drink lol. They have wine and beer! Love that this place was the first black-owned winery. The owner is amazing and has great stories.

Super clean, nice tasting center. Lots of home made wines, and beers. Outdoor seating under a covered roof. Super nice servers.
