13 Best Wineries in Traverse City

“Beautiful winery, first time checking them out based off a friends suggestion! We learned they don’t do flights but the glasses were very reasonably priced($7-12/glass). Beautiful view of the vines and great service. Even chatted with an owner for a moment! Give them a shot if you’re in the area“

“AMAZING! Finally made it to Peninsula Cellars and it is now my favorite place, the cider and wine was so very good! The merlot slushie and in house sangria were so very delicious. Historic schoolhouse is so cute, Sarah was so very friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to go back!“

“Michael made our experience unforgettable!
On our annual girls trip/celebrating a birthday, Michael took his time explaining the wine tasting menu and customizing flights based on our preferences. This was our first experience at LFC and we will be returning!!!“

“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.“

“A MUST stop. We had an absolutely amazing time here with views of both bays! The wine was honestly some of the best wine we tasted on the Leelanau and or Old Mission Peninsula across the board from whites to red. A truly incredible experience and a must stop. Their manager Corbin was experienced, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful.“

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

“We absolutely loved our tour with Jess yesterday! She is extremely knowledgeable about the history and process at 2 Lads. Her enthusiasm and zest for life show through. We loved learning about wine and it was so fun to hear her process for selecting the yummy cheeses and snacks that highlight the wines. We’ll be looking forward to wine club pickups and future visits to this spectacular location and an operation that is clearly doing things right. Thank you!“

“Brandon was GREAT. What a fun wine tasting! He was so knowledgeable about the history of the winery and all the wines. Very kind, helpful, stayed past closing for us. 1000/10, would definitely recommend this place! :) Can’t wait to come back!“

“My sister got my husband a private wine tasting experience that we took our friends to. Hiro did an amazing job telling us about the Vineyard and how the wine is made! My husband loved it and asked soo many questions.

Sherrie was also amazing! We did our wine tasting with her! She brought me some sweet wines to try instead of the white. My friends and I all had positive things to say about the employees and our time!“

“My favorite destination in traverse city is Bonobo Winery. Not only is the great, and the food is too! And, you can’t beat the view!

What makes the visit so wonderful is the staff! Big shoutout to both Linda and Nic, these ladies are remarkable!“

“Lots to see and do at 45 North Winery.“

“My small group stopped in on November 8th, about an hour before closing time, and it was quite busy. After wrapping up with a large group, Bryce quickly greeted us, assessed the seating availability, and provided us with a semi-private space to enjoy our tasting. During our visit, Bryce was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, took time to discuss the wines (even though it was busy), and provided us with an enjoyable experience. Thank you!“

“My wife and I visited Bowers Harbor Vineyard recently and had a great time. The whole place has an easy, laid-back vibe - not fancy or pretentious; just a spot where you can relax and enjoy yourself. They have several different outdoor spaces. We were lucky to snag a couple Adirondack chairs under shade trees overlooking the fields. The servers were very nice and helpful. The wine and snacks were great. We would definitely come back again.“
