They gave me a little wine tower to hold my glasses and I brought them outside to sit and drink while looking over Lake Michigan. They had great live music as well playing as you enjoyed your wine.

We were sitting in the barrel room for our tasting, which is a lovely experience in itself. I did the wine & chocolate tasting while the others had a flight. Charcuterie has the option for GF crackers! Crunchmasters to be exact! The staff were lovely and wholesome. Seating is a bit snug so I wouldn't bring a heavy coat or large purse. Wine was delicious. Oh my goodness it was just the BEST! Highly recommend booking a car/shuttle service so you can thoroughly enjoy without risking drunk driving. ALSO! Book with a reservation.

First, there are two peninsulas off of Traverse City. Both are dotted with wineries, and this is…read morenot a one-off thing. This area has a Sonoma vibe. Old Mission Peninsula is the much smaller one, and it's plenty big enough. Bowers Harbor Vineyards offered exactly what we were looking for. Great wines, very friendly staff, and a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy it. They have snacks available that are kind of pitiful-- convenience store packages of hummus, pretzels, etc-- but you're not going for that. And they do the job to accompany the wine tasting. So whatever. They were very accomodating with letting us mix red and whites on a shared flight. We ended up buying a couple of bottles of a wonderful, dry and minerally chardonnay. Very relaxed and not at all intimidating for people like us who are not usually doing the wine thing. There were families with dogs and kids, and everyone seemed pretty chill. But of course we hightailed it out of there when the first bachelorette party arrived. I don't know why Traverse City became a hotbed of bachelorette parties, but it has, and you'll have to suffer through that wherever you go.

Super friendly staff who were all over our dog.

Jon was one of the most knowledgeable gentlemen I've met in regards to wine. He shared and abundance of knowledge with me which I appreciated very much.

I would highly recommend this place due to the view, quality, price and experience. Thank you Jon!

However, Levi and Heidi really turned things around for us by being personable and knowledgeable. The winery was having a special, selling warm spiced cherry wine in a mug for $10, plus you keep the mug. Tasted like Christmas in a mug- highly recommended. There are multiple places to sit indoors and out. There's a beautiful lookout around the side of the building, but be aware that wandering around with your wine is not permitted.

It did not disappoint. It was 10000/10. They use fresh shaved nutmeg too. *chefs kiss* My husband go the sour cherry and I blinked and he was finished with it haha. Next drinks we got a Gin Fizz (a classic) 1000/10. My husband got a whiskey margarita We came an hour before they closed on a Monday. It was relaxing and quiet and only a few other guest out here with us on the patio. They got a fire pit going in the evening which was nice, or sit on the upper deck patio to watch the sunset. I'd love to come earlier in the day and get a whiskey flight and try the whitefish pate and sit on the upper deck patio.
