Grand Traverse Distillery

Cindy was such a knowledgeable tour guide! The drinks were all fantastic! Also Cindy's recommendations were on point. Will definitely stop by next time we are in town!

Super fun tour! Very informative, and the tasting that comes with the tour is amazing! They'll even let you taste their most expensive bottles if you'd like! They like to let the whiskey sell itself as the tour guide told us!

The tour was very cool, learned lots.

My husband I drove in from Cleveland, OH and decided to sign up last minute for a distillery tours in the hopes for something original and authentic and we got just that! Loved it. Thank you Grand Traverse Distillery.

Great staff, the tasting was fun and informative, and I LOVE their bourbon!!!

My friend bought a tour as part of an animal rescue auction, so we used it on girls' weekend. I'm not a shot fan, so I was nervous about the tasting. I loved that they offered to add a mixer if you want. The tour was informative and fun, especially seeing the barrel house. You are not pressured to buy anything, but they seemed genuinely excited when we bought what we enjoyed. Joe was knowledgeable and laid back. It says a lot about a business when the chief financial officer is willing to come in on Saturdays and lead tours (and enjoys it).

Had a wonderful experience, my girlfriend saw this tour pop up for things to do around traverse city, the price for the experience Is well worth it. Wonderful woodsland drive up to the location, although a bit hard to find, maps seems to show the auto shop in the same business loop as the location, but there are some signs showing the way. Once you get there you are greeted in a nice cozy tasting room, and very friendly staff (my memory is cursed to never retain names, but I believe our guide was Laura, if I’m wrong, we were the goofy couple with the sticker van, feel free to correct me) she led us through several options, which let to me finding and falling in love with the chipotle vodka+costal Mary mix, and my girlfriend immediately buying a bottle of their in house bourbon, found out some interesting info on the distilling and aging processes, and overall had a great time. I would highly recommend stopping by on any “up north” Michigan road trip.

fantastic tour, excellent explanations for the process and tasting. Do not miss this place! Laura made this a real great time!

This was an amazing experience from the initial phone call through to the end. We were lucky enough to have our tour given to us by Laura and she was nothing short of amazing. She was extremely informative, welcoming, and fun. This distillery taught me that vodka can actually be sipped. They have amazing products with amazing staff.

Great selections of uniquely aged whiskeys

Went on a tour this past week and loved it! Tasty spirits and an entertaining, informative time getting to talk directly to the owner. Definitely recommend!

We went to Grand Traverse today while vacationing in Michigan. By far the absolute BEST vodka I've ever had. The cherry, cocoa and chipotle flavors were all exceptional! And Joe was so nice and fun, it made for a great experience!

We had such an incredible experience here! We have been going to the Leland tasting room each summer we visit for the past 5 years and have loved and supported them ever since we first started going and enjoying their whiskeys and cherry vodka. This trip we finally got to tour the distillery and are so glad we did! It was such a cool experience and Stephen was great. Explained everything well, answered all our questions, made the experience fun and memorable, and made us love the company and products even MORE! I highly recommend anything from Grand Traverse Distillery but would also suggest you go on one of their tours - so affordable and more than worth it in my opinion!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a great experience! The staff was so knowledgeable about everything! Shelby was great in the tasting room with recommendations for their spirits etc. the owner took us on the tour of the process and it made it feel more homey! Will def be back again!

Showed up on a beautiful day and Kent, the owner, personally walked us through his business and educated us on his passion for distilling. Such a great time! Amazing staff all around and then the absolute pinnacle was the tasting. Shelby was awesome and provided so much knowledge on each flavor and style. I recommend this hands down....100% for a fun and enjoyable outing up here in TC.!!!
