13 Best Wineries in Traverse City

“In a word WONDERFUL. We came upon Brengman on a whim and a sign as we were heading to Mission wineries and stayed. After a less than stellar wine experience at a winery that shall not be named, we fell upon Brengman. We spent some time with Ben, who was engaging and knowledgeable. We tried an assortment of whites and reds and fell in love with the Chardonnay Cement and Right Bank red. We left with bottles of both and a new wine club membership…. Worth the stop….“

“Always a favorite spot! The cider is fantastic!“

“We had a fantastic time at this spot – the service, food, and drinks were all top-notch! We really enjoyed our cider and wine flight during our visit to the old state hospital. For food, we tried some delicious small plates, including the Whitefish Pate and the Charcuterie Board. It was hard to pick a favorite cider, but Cinnamon Girl and Tepache were both incredible and truly tasted like autumn. We even left with a growler of each!“

“Beautiful winery, amazing service, and a beautiful view!“

“The staff was phenomenal, the atmosphere was laid back and not pushy, absolutely awesome! We ended up getting a wine club membership for out of state shipping and loving every minute here. It is a little off the “main road” as a tourist but absolutely worth it!!!“

“The view was pretty. My family and I got charcuterie board snd the flight. We also got the desert wine. Everything was yummy. I brought the bottle of desert wine and a wine glass to take hone. Looking forward to going there next year.“

“Our favorite wine on the peninsula! The menu is simple compared to others in the area, but each wine they offer is a classic that's bound to please. The building itself is a louder/open atmosphere, but the view is beautiful and there was some seating outdoors. We tried 3 different wines in the flight and each were very good“

“My boyfriend and I did the barrel room experience and absolutely loved it. You get to try 6 different wines and enjoy a delicious charcuterie board for 35 per person. Our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive. I was impressed by the value of our dollar. The stone walls and relatively small square footage created the perfect cozy and intimate venue for a romantic night out. I will definitely be doing this again.“

“sara was great, unfortunately her shift ended during our tasting and we were stuck with Sherri who not only left us feeling ignored, she tried to end my aunts tasting twice before they got to their last wine. also sara was promoting the club membership so well that we almost signed up while sherri didnt even let us get the $15 tasting with the glass and charged us without confirming what was in our order and when we informed her of her mistake, she told us to just buy a glass on the way out. good luck making money with her around, like we were asking to buy stuff and sherri made it harder to.“

“I participated in Vino-Madness along the Leelanau Wine Trail and had a really good time! For $25.00 a person, we sampled wine and food pairings at 8 of the maybe 15 or so wineries along the trail over the course of 2 days. It was a really neat event, and a fun way to experience the wineries for a reasonable price. Each of the wineries was very welcoming and we walked away with several bottles of wine that we probably would not have normally tried and saw some beautiful wineries. I would love to come back again for another event and highly recommended it to any wine lover!“

“We came into town for our Annual Girls Trip/ as well as our 50th year of life celebration. Our visit to your establishment was nothing short of amazing. Thank you Nic for your exceptional service. Wishing you the best in all your future endeavors.

“Had a wine flight and also a couple of spirits. I really enjoyed the wines (mostly Riesling). The apple maple brandy warmed my soul; the honey brandy had a hint of sweetness then burned the rest of the way down.

Overall we had a great time. Excellent service. Would come back for their wines.“

“Loved our experience at Bowers Vineyard! They have a fantastic patio (dog friendly too) and a great variety of wine tasting flights to choose from! Thai is the perfect place to relax on a warm summer day with friends! Very warm and welcoming staff!“
