The tasting counter has spots spaced out by laminated offering sheets on the counter. One gets six tokens to select wines you want to taste. The wines were good but didn't blow our group away. The staff member serving us was extremely nice but verbal descriptions differed from verbiage on tasting sheets. Either way, they offer a wide variety of wines which helps any wine drinker to find something intriguing!

It was a great area and space with plenty of seating. Even on a cooler fall day, there was a good crowd. We each did a tasting, which was very economical and allowed us to try a bit of everything. We really enjoyed our experience, but we went on a day when they had food trucks and the truck was kind of sold out of most items, so we wish there were more food and snack options, but other than that, we had a lovely time. It was a great place to visit and we were able to take some great family photos with the beautiful scenery here.

It's right off the interstate, the space feels dated, and the vibe/branding had me fearing I would be offered a lot of sweet wine. To my surprise, my glass of Synchronicity Dry was delicious and dry. In fact, St. Julian has a sugar score next to each wine on their menu, and this taste was 0.0. How helpful! Had it not been last call, I would have opted for a tasting. 5 stars for the wine, well-labeled sugar scores, and staff's hospitality, but I'm landing at four stars for the space/ambiance. This tasting room could use a modern makeover, especially with all the competition in southwest Michigan.

Gateway Cellar Winery is in an old building downtown that has been beautifully redone. They also specialize in fruit wines - green apple gewurztraminer, blueberry Shiraz, and pomegranate Zinfandel are just a few examples. Hearing fruit wine can bring to mind unpleasant wines such as Boone's Farm, but these wines are nothing like that! Great fruit flavor without overpowering the wine or being too sweet. All the wines I tried were so good that it was hard to narrow down which one I wanted a glass of. I only wish I lived closer so I could go get a glass or bottle of wine from here more often.

That's ok not here for that. I was attended two by two lovely people and they had a birthday party and about 4 other groups to deal with, yet I got conversation and even information about the wines. I stepped up for a tasting, it was six wines and not a one was bad.  Capriccio- I cycled back to this as I didn't notice the description. Not big on high tannins, the tannin dryness is subtle but still too much for me. I can see using this for steaks and Italian. Not overtly in your face for a red which is a winner for me. Pinot Gris- nice and light not as dry as a chardonnay. Beautifully delicate Roche Rose-more fruity than a normal rose. Very nice to go with any fish or chicken but also, nice casual drinking wine. Briarwood- delightful red finishing wine. Sweet but nice to have near dessert. Green apple sangria- this sweet fruit has a forward sweet (grape?) with a tart finish (oooo, that green apple is tasty) and becareful, you'll want more than just a taste and you might finish a bottle.  Peach Mango- wow..the peach is strong and the mango is hinted which is perfect if you aren't into a flowery taste (too much mango tasted like flowers). I can that although the green apple sangria is right next to it, this is a totally different taste. Definitely nice dessert wine or even can be a good spritzer. This business has a backdrop that even has a ring set of lights so you can get a good picture of everyone. One of the people apologized for the busy nature and told her that being busy says a lot for the business. If you're in the area, looking for some tastings of good wine and even a good charcuterie board or cheese and wine pairing...this is a great place. Go here, support local and support a woman run and owned company. This place has got it going on!
