    What an unusual tasting experience. The first winery in America to use maple syrup in the wine making process. Cute wine tasting venue indoor/outdoor with knowledgeable wine stewards. We chose the four taste flight, reasonably priced at $15. I had hoped for a walking or narrated tour of the adjacent maple forest from whence the syrup cometh but that was not an option. The tastes were interesting.

    Our second visit and it was as much fun as the first three years ago. We enjoyed meeting the owners and their son. It was nice finding some genuine people who care for their land, business and family. The wine flight was excellent and we bought some treats for our friends. This is a great laidback stop while visiting wineries, brewers, and meaderies near Charlevoix.

    Of all the wineries that we have toured in Northern Michigan, this one is the most unique. Who would think that fermenting maple syrup would yield wonderful wine? I highly recommend this wonderful place where the people are nice and the syrup runs sweet!

    We really enjoyed the wine and salsa tastings and took several bottles and jars home.

    While vacationing, my partner and I take turns planning quests each day. My partner's surprise adventure one day entailed taking me to Maple Moon Sugarbush and Winery, located in the country of Petoskey. The tasting room was lovely. A large window overlooks their patio that looks out into their beautiful prairie with their Maple Trees. The bartender for the tasting room was so welcoming and knowledgeable. Not only did she share interesting information about each wine and how the wine is made from maple syrup (though, surprisingly, it is lower in sugar than most grape wines on the market), she was a great hostess and fun to chat with about all things Petoskey. The wine was very good. It has its own distinct taste, so it can't really be compared to grape wine. I especially liked the maple wines that were infused with real fruit, with the peach wine being my fave. We bought some maple syrup to take home with us too, which is delicious! I am looking forward to returning to Petoskey this spring to take a tour at Maple Moon to see how they tap their maple trees for their delicious nectar. Maple Moon Sugarbush and Winery is a highly recommended stop if you are looking for a unique experience.

    BEST WINERY IN PETOSKY! Don't know where to start, amazing service and very personable! For $12 you get to try 4 different wines, I recommend trying the maple Gold, maple royal or anything maple!!! Freaky fast service, never had an empty glass of wine! We will be back!

    Quaint little winery that is America's only maple winery. Not all the wines had maple in them, but it did work well with the fruits. We each tried a wine flight of 5 wines for $9.00. We always choose different wines on our flights so we can sample double the wines. Very friendly and knowledgeable server (may have been owner). They had a lot of maple syrup, salsa and jam to choose from. We bought the cherry jalapeño jam. It was deliciously on top of a block of cream cheese and spread on crackers. Be sure and put it on your list of wineries!

    Our sample take home wine glass

    Such a great experience! We had a long day driving from Pittsburgh and we made it here just in time before they closed. We still got to unwine-d in the tasting room. The woman that served us was easy to talk to and knowledgeable about the wine. We got to sample 5 wines and a keepsake glass to take home for a very reasonable price. The maple in the wine is so distinctive and they have a wide variety with different amounts of a maple taste. My favorite was their Maple Gold wine, which of course is a best seller! I was very impressed with the experience and got some bottles to take home with us. We would love to come back someday! Be mindful that it is a small intimate venue so if you have more than 6 people, you may have to stand.

    Farm tour from owner Christi showed us every step of the maple syrup making process. She made us feel like family!
    Sarah S.

    Finding enjoyable things for a family on 9 to do on vacation is sometimes tricky, but every single one of us loved our time at Maple Moon. Our children loved the maple ice cream and playing yard games on the patio, and the adults love the wine tasting. Everyone was fascinated with the afternoon tour where owner Christi showed us how all that syrup makes it's journey from tree to table. Thanks for making our day extra sweet, Maple Moon!

You will be transported through four or more wineries and get to interact on many levels. A couple wineries that stood out to me were Walloon Lake Winery and Petoskey Farms Wineries so be sure to ask to go there as the wines were really good and the people who make the wine were very accessible. Lunch is a part of the tour and Dave serves it at one of the wineries so you can enjoy a glass with lunch looking at breathtaking views. I couldn't imagine doing this tour and tasting so much wine on my own. Having a professional wine guide ensures that you can safely enjoy the wines without worrying about driving yourself! The price is affordable and the educational experience is worth it! I learned a lot of great info from Dave.

We received a goodie bag with a granola bar, trail mix, and a bottle of water and there was also cold meat/cheeses and a veggie tray to eat if we wanted them (we ended up getting lunch at one of the wineries, so cannot comment on the cold snacks, but the granola bar was tasty). The tour was well paced with 45 minutes to do a wine tasting at each winery. You could tell there was a lot of thought put into the order of the wineries, as the most educational was first and the most relaxing/best views was last. Also, one of the wineries we visited offered lunch and that came at just the right time as it had been a while since breakfast. Our driver, Jeff, was very personable and was able to give information on the different wineries and what they offered. The van seats up to 9, so you could rent it for a small group or drop in on a mixed tour (which is what we did). He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, so we didn't have to worry about driving (which is good, because when you do four wine tastings in four hours, you drink quite a lot!).

I really enjoyed the white truffle oil (from Modena, Italy) and the Provencal Herbs (from Tunisia). What I absolutely REALLY loved is that each tin of oil has facts like where its from, best description of flavor like for the Provencal it said "subtle - savory, thyme & bay leaf, with lavender" or what the use is best for (i.e. salads, fish...etc) and balsamic pairings! I have to say their balsamic vinegars were my favorite. I almost died when I tried the Pomegranate Balsamic from Italy. The note card said: Medium tart and compliments: Salads, lamb, beef and duck Good Oil Pairings: Persian Lime, Chipotle, Basil Idea: With Basil EVOO, serve over salad greens topped with nuts, Feta Cheese and onion. I mean, that's great! You try something and are like "hmmm, what can I do with this..." well it gives you everything! I do agree with the other review in the fact that the sales people do hound you, but I didn't think it was annoying. She did leave us alone and made sure we knew to feel free to try any oils and vinegars we wanted. We had a few questions and they were incredibly nice. They also sell cookbooks, oil toppers, crackers and other stuff that goes perfect with everything they currently have. I think for organic oils/vinegars the prices are great. You can also buy online, seeing as they only have stores in Michigan! Cute, CLEAN store. I wish we had something like this in Dallas. I would be all over that! Mmmmhmmm.

I think that if you have been to one bowling alley, you have been to them all. Some of the only differences would be the size of the building and the atmosphere of the location.

They probably get tired of putting up with disrespectful youth and drunk amateur bowlers. I get it. The waitress we had should get a raise or at least a promotion of some kind.
