This place is by far one of the most beautiful cideries I've ever been to. This place features so many views and places to sit at it's absolutely breathtaking. There's decent amount of parking inside the parking lot. We came here during the day where they had live music. The bartender was very friendly and social. Great selection of hard ciders that are made here that I've never heard of before but "smitten" is my favorite hard cider that they had. They got some light food options as well if you get a little hungry. They got plenty of souvenirs and obviously hard cider to take home. Very clean restrooms too! Prices are a bit High but when you're here, it's totally worth it! Highly recommend visiting! read more

Amazing ciders, beautiful views, great live music, friendly staff ... Suttons Bay has everything! We had truly the best afternoon here tasting ciders and admiring the views. I love that you can order blends to mix up the flavors! I got a blend of the cherry and the spicy habanero cider. And the cider slushies were great! I will absolutely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

First stop, and a pretty good one as it is among one of my favorites. Great scenery, great outdoor and indoor seating areas. The layout is such that you can spread out over the property with lake views pretty much everywhere. Exceptionally tasty cider! Sweet and dry selections to fit anyone's palette. Great and speedy service with whom I assume was the owner personally checking in on us. A must stop while in the area! read more

Suttons Bay Ciders - Flight - Breweries Near Me - Suttons Bay, Michigan

What an awesome place to spend an afternoon! The views here are top notch and the cider is delish. They have a pretty decent amount of ciders to choose from so we started with a flight of 8. Most were on the dryer side. I think my favorite was the Power Island and Cherry Fest. My husband really liked Smitten. And later one of the bartenders suggested mixing the Smitten and the Cherry Fest half and half which really hit the spot! We ended up coming here twice while we were in town. They have lots of outdoor seating in various places. The windows inside are nice big picture windows to show off the view from anywhere you choose to hang. If you are a cider fan, I highly recommend making a stop here! read more

Love this place! Very disappointed in the help today. Was very short with us, almost rude. read more

We got a flight of 8 to try all of the flavors. $16 for a flight of 8 ciders, good cost, super friendly service, and the cutest vibes! We sat outside at the picnic tables for the flights then came inside so my boyfriend could watch some of the football game on the tv. Gorgeous views and the cutest little spot! They have a deck with umbrellas, a wooded area with picnic tables and Adirondack chairs, and a grassy area with umbrellas and corn hole boards. Such a cute set up! read more

Everytime we go we try something new! This time it was a Crab Apple cider. We even took some home. 2x. Enjoyed a lovely cider at home around a fire. While it wasn't quite as scenic as the view from the cidery, it was a lovely evening. We get treated like family and appreciate the warmth and familiarity. read more

Suttons Bay Ciders is a worthwhile stop while in the area. Here's why you should make a trip to this award-winning, family-owned cidery: 1) Location: On top of a hill overlooking the Grand Traverse Bay, the cidery offers stunning views of the water. Nestled in a forest, the setting makes you feel like you're in the Pacific Northwest. It's near several other wineries, which explains the wine tour buses that stop here. (Warning- those tourists can be rude.) 2) Space: There's a parking lot by a chicken coop. Walk up the stairs to find a spacious tasting room with a long bar and a few tables. There's an outdoor deck with tables, an outdoor tent and an area with picnic tables, two igloos and games like cornhole. 3) Cider: Using local apples, they have a large, diverse cider menu. Order the tasting to try them all. They have ice cider, drier cider, sweeter cider and cider with unique flavors like mint, peach cream, jalapeno and peanut butter and jelly. There's a little shop inside that sells bottles of their cider. You'll want to take some home with you! read more

So relaxing to sit on the deck, sip a cider and listen to a great band. Too bad they finished so early!

Great service. Ciders were great and tasty. Definitely will come back . Views were nice. Wish could spend more time

Overpriced and sour tasting. Plus I almost twisted my ankle walking in the uneven grasses. Save your money for a better distrllery or winery in the area. read more

We were welcomed at the door on a beautiful fall day. There is lots of outside seating overlooking the beautiful bay. Sitting inside there is a wall of windows overlooking the bay. The cider all have such distinct tastes and there is a great variety. Loved it here! Highly recommend! read more

SC and I were in the area a few weeks ago heading out of Suttons Bay (such a cute area!!) and he found this place online so we decided to check it out and we're so glad we did! The staff was friendly, the view was GORGEOUS (we even saw a double rainbow!), and the drinks were really unique!! We got the full flight of 10 (including their dessert wine and special) for $15 which was really reasonable. We liked that you could taste the ingredients in each cider- ginger, jalapeno, lavender, barrel-aged, etc. My personal favorite was the Mosiac. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with varying views to enjoy. A really beautiful place to sit back, enjoy nature and some good drinks! Plus, the staff let us pick out a couple apples to take too! read more

This spot was a really welcome stop on our weekend tour of the TC area. The location is really nice, way up on a hill with a gorgeous view of the lake. Dog-friendly, a big plus! Tons of outdoor seating and some indoors. Set up with heaters and fires outside to keep people warm - presumably more so once it gets a bit colder than it was this last weekend. They also have a really nice cider diversity! I think we tried a flight of all 10 offerings that they had. Not a big fan of some of them, but they had some really nice ciders as well. Staff were super nice and you could try all 10 of their ciders for a very reasonable $18 - which we shared. Not my favorite ciders of the weekend, but some very good ones and a stunning location. Well worth a stop! read more

A delightful find sitting among the treetops! The bartender was friendly and engaging, the ciders were delicious and the view from the deck was absolutely amazing! We ordered a flight of four and, honestly, I could have ordered a pint of any one of them and been happy, but I have to admit that I went for the sweeter cider and ordered the "Smitten"...and I was. Smitten, that is! It was very refreshing. I love this place and will definitely return if I am ever in this area again. read more

When it comes to ambiance, views, and service. Sutton's Bay Ciders definitely has all that. Where it falls short for me is the product itself. We got the flight of 10 which included their fortified cider, that was probably the only good on that they had. Really wanted to like this place but the cider just fell flat for me. Maybe we got the wrong seasonal batch? read more

Friendly staff, amazing and unique ciders, the view is unreal! Was a sunny January day, so we decided to swing into here for great cider and views. Real fire roaring in the fireplace was great ambiance! Love it! read more

Could not have had a better experience here! It was our first time and we were unfamiliar with the menu. We weren't looking to do a full tasting at this point in our afternoon, and our bartender couldn't have been more helpful! She made excellent recommendations based on what we told her we enjoyed. She recommended a combo cider for me which was amazing! Amazing staff, amazing views and great cider!!! Can't ask for much more! We will be back! read more

Sutton's Bay Ciders not only has delicious cider but they have a view like no other! You'll get a great view while sitting at the bar or even outside on their awesome deck. Their landscaping is absolutely stunning as well. This is also a kid friendly facility. They have a stack of board games to play while you're there visiting. Since they don't serve food you're welcome to bring your own. Currently, our favorite Ciders from here are Mosaic and Smitten. Something we love about cider is that it's always changing since no two apples are the same. We were lucky enough to have Mark offer us a tour of their facility. It was really awesome to see their process of making cider from the very beginning until the finished product that was in our glass. Sutton's Bay is another cidery we've enjoying visiting and enjoying since the very beginning. Go get some! read more

Sutton's Bay Ciders is an absolute MUST! The atmosphere is beyond welcoming and the refreshments are top notch. Not only are they knowledgeable, the staff is also welcoming and has an incredible environment to welcome guests indoors and outdoors. Dogs are welcome and there are also several places to relax outdoors given the recent pandemic. Mike and Jon will take good care of you and the local mascot, Gordy, will provide plenty of hugs and puppy kisses. This place was incredible and we will be back in a heart beat with our friends and families. A++++ service and experience! read more

Suttons Bay Ciders - two glasses of cid on a deck - Breweries Near Me - Suttons Bay, Michigan

This gorgeous tasting room was another stop during wine weekend and another personal favorite of mine. It's tucked off and there's a cute walk way leading up to the entrance. You pass a few benches, lawn chairs and a picnic area that leads you up to the most spectacular view of the nearby lake! Once you get inside there are these huge windows just behind the bar so you can sit, order and enjoy the beautiful scenic background. And that's exactly what my group and I did! We ordered a flight of ciders, which all tasted amazing but I seriously could not get over how gorgeous the view was, just from sitting at the bar too! The trees were lush and all had different shades of green, you could see the water just beyond the trees and a small island as well. The staff was very friendly and provided us with a couple bowls of popcorn which was super yummy and much needed:) There's a pretty decent sized deck for an even better view, and I made sure to take lots of breathtaking pics. read more

We were using a winery treasure map to hit every place and this one wasn't on it but we wanted to check it out - it turns out they just opened a week ago so they haven't made it to the being on maps milestone yet. The view is gorgeous - there's windows all along the bar so while you're sitting there you can overlook the vast wine kingdom. And they had a fire going when we went which was delightful. In the summer the patio will be great but it was too cold and windy for us. A 3 cider tasting flight was three bucks - well worth it, and they've got howlers and growlers to take home I'm bummed we didn't get to try the one they've got made from northern spies because it's not ready yet but I'll stop back in for sure. read more

EVERYYTHING is amazing about this place. The drive to it, the grounds, the staff, the coders/drinks, the outdoor seating. I toured most of the peninsulas and this place is a top 5 for me! I had a flight of samples that were so much fun to try. I was surprised at some that I ended up loving! We even took a couple growlers out. My favorite is their dog. He has no interest in you but he's still cool to have around. The staff was having a great time, a seriously great time and it made it that much more enjoyable. The owner was working the place too and I appreciate seeing that, I can see why the staff and everyone loves being there. The owner really made it a point to thank us for coming by. read more

My boyfriend is a cider lover and we had been to two cider mills before this place - OH MY GOSH - have we been missing out? This place was the first place where we bought growlers of cider (Smitten is the best). I loved everything about this place - the bartender, the ciders (we tried them all on the flight), the bar area, and the drinking area. Even if you don't like ciders, come for the view. I seriously wish we had come here first so that we could have had an evening cider drink and overlooked the bay. I proudly bought my first growler and a hoodie. I can't wait to come back to this place! read more

Came in asked where the lavender cider was. Guy laughed and said. "Wow naw we haven't have that for awhile and was kind of condescending jerk. Wow. As a matter of fact No I have not been here for while. It's been a year. BUT you've had it for the last 3. So in the future when someone asks where their favorite cider is, instead of being rude maybe realize that they get 1 vacation a year and out of the many, many places in the area I could visit I chose to go here so maybe don't be jerk because I'm sure your bottom line is paved by locals and is tourists don't matter at all.... read more

THE BEST place for cider on Leelanau Peninsula! The view is amazing, the cider tastes great, and the owner and other people who work there are all wonderfully friendly. I've seen some reviews where people are complaining because they only liked two or three ciders, but that's the POINT. The menu was designed for that. If everyone likes two or three ciders, they're all going to be different as far as which ciders, so there's something for everyone! I would much prefer that over somewhere where I might like everything, but my friends would hate everything. We accidentally first stumbled upon this place the week after they opened, and have returned several times a year since then. I highly recommend anyone on the peninsula to stop in! My only suggestion to them is that I would LOVE to see them participate in the peninsula-wide events. Tandem Ciders does, and while we make an effort to stop at Suttons Bay Ciders anyway, it would be nice if the tickets we bought were valid there as well! read more

Great service, great drinks, great ambiance! I wish they had a few more food options, but that's my own issue lol.

The manager Dennis was extremely rude. He treated me like I was trash I he wanted me to leave. Will not go back if he is there.

Average at best. Everything tasted like apple cider with some odd flavorings mixed in. Like most of them come from the same base cider. Not horrible just boring. If u ever get a chance to have Blake's ciders from SE MI then you will understand. These were a no for me. The views are great but the deck is very small. read more
