About Bonobo Winery

Bonobo Winery is a popular spot, known for its great wine, welcoming staff, and delicious small plates. The warm and inviting atmosphere, both inside and on the scenic outdoor patio, makes it a favorite stop in the Traverse City area. Visitors can enjoy a variety of wines, such as Merlot, Riesling, and Sparkling Rose', and receive knowledgeable recommendations from staff. The winery is especially beautiful in the fall, with vineyards stretching toward the sunset over the bay and colorful trees in the distance. The outdoor patio features string lights, bonfires, and comfy seating, with steps leading down to the vineyard where there are swings, gazebos, and more chairs to relax and take in the scenery. Inside, large windows offer stunning views and the space feels open and welcoming. The staff are friendly and approachable, making guests feel comfortable without any pretentious vibe. Visitors can sample wines before choosing, and even keep their wine glasses as souvenirs. The winery is open later in the evening on weekdays, which is appreciated by many. Guests often enjoy the flavorful olives and small bites, like pretzel bites and dip, along with the wine. It’s a perfect place to enjoy wine with friends or on a date, providing a cozy and scenic experience year-round.
