    Porch and outdoor seating

    Nice wines and friendly staff at a beautiful location. We had the red wine flight and it was a generous sampling of four fine wines for $18. We ended up buying a bottle of 2019 Cab Franc.

    We loved our time at this vineyard! Their Boathouse Bubbly & Peach Cider were beyond delicious! The service and grounds were amazing! We drove all the way from Texas and enjoyed them so much we drove home with several bottles. Do yourself a favor and add this incredible vineyard to your bucket list!!!

    We had a great time thanks to the friendly and knowledgable Nancy. We ended up with a couple bottles of the dry Riesling (Knot Too Sweet). We'll definitely be back!

    The back yard of the tasting room.

    This is a paid tasting. A newer tasting room, it was very basic. One room with a round wine counter in the middle. The staff knew their wines and were friendly. Out the back door is a porch and large yard that overlooks the canal. Boats can even pull up to their dock. You can bring your own food and sit on the porch with some wine.

    Look at all the awards!

    We docked our boat right in the backyard of the Boathouse and sampled a few wines. Staff was really friendly and helpful. We ordered carry out from Dicks Pourhouse and brought it back to the Boathouse to enjoy with our bottle of wine. The staff even gave us a copy of the menu at Dicks and offered suggestions on ordering. We are looking forward to another visit on Sunday for their live music from 3-5!!

    ... Go Blue! ...

    Boathouse was the cutest winery on the water! Very relaxing spot and the wine was the best we tasted all day!

    Best peach cider I've ever had, dog friendly grounds and live music on occasion. Worth a stop for sure!

    They have a nice deck in back and have live music during the week, and a few chairs up closer to the river.

Our server Noel was amazing and made the best recommendations. We loved the Albariño and Northerner (a cab-Syrah blend) - both rare finds in Northern MI. Food was delicious and they were accommodating of my gluten allergy (make sure to ask the server about options as there were way more than the menu said). Can't wait to be back.

They have a good sized uncovered outdoor patio, and more limited seating inside. The interior seating has a homey feel, the decor is simple Northern, Lake Michigan. The menu is short, but a good variety of options, I'm not sure how often it changes, as the entrees during our visit were a bit more substantial, suited for cooler weather. We had Ceasar salads, Mac and cheese, burrata, and Chicken Marsala. I also had their soup of the day, a beef chili, my favorite item we had. We thoughts the Ceasar was a standard good. The Mac and Cheese was a bit boring and dry. The Burrata was great, nice fresh tomato's. We also enjoyed the chicken. I had a flight of three of their wines, nicely presented. I thought both of the whites, first fruits, and the Gruner Veltliner, were very good. Gilchrist is relatively newer to the area wineries and a nice addition.

My husband and I stopped in and were immediately greeted at the front door by a lovely woman who made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. She walked us through the tasting experience, pointed out the restrooms, and truly set the tone for such a warm and inviting visit. When we made our way to the tasting bar, we were greeted by a wonderful man who was funny, engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He explained each spirit so well and made the tasting experience genuinely fun. Come to find out -- the two people taking such great care of us were the owners! Their hospitality and customer service were exceptional and made the experience feel personal and memorable. And the spirits? Absolutely phenomenal. We ended up leaving with six bottles because everything was that good. This was hands-down one of the best experiences of our entire trip. Highly recommend stopping in if you're anywhere near the area!

I can't wait to come back in the summer!
