4A great and safe way to explore wineries
Mike worked with us to make all the arrangements for the tour, including having the driver pick us up at our vacation rental, which we didn't expect. Brian, our driver, was friendly, flexible and informative. He helped us to choose the wineries (3) and distillery for our tour, reserved a table so we could eat at one of the wineries, and helped us to know what to expect at each stop. The wineries were beautiful. We enjoyed each one and tasted a wide variety of wines throughout the day. The one thing that we hadn't realized was that we would not be guided at the wineries - told about their history and their winemaking, and introduced to a sampling of their wines. Instead, it was up to us to select which wines to sample and to order our own flights. That misunderstanding is more on us than on the tour company, however. Overall, we recommend this tour and this tour company.
5We went to five wineries and got five star treatment!
Mike and Company was absolutely amazing, we had such an awesome day!
5Fantastic Tour with Mike
Mike was amazing. Excellent customer service, very educational. Highly recommend.
5Best Wine Tour Experience of our lives
We had a group of 9 and took two cars. Our drivers, Clover and Tony were incredible. Tony was personable, fun, gave us facts about the different wineries and put up with our antics. Tony elevated our entire experience. Mike kept in contact with us before to make sure everything was perfectly planned and even made sure we were having fun during the tour. Our friend group has been on many wine tours, but this certainly was the best. Thank you so much and we WILL be back.
5Great Experience!
My wife and I got paired with an unknown couple and it was a great time! Our driver was Clover, she was awesome! She was attentive and informative! We saw Mike the owner multiple times and he was great! Cannot recommend this tour enough!
5Book it now!!!
We had such a great time and can’t wait to come back and do it again! Mike drove us to 4 different wineries/breweries in a beautiful Cadillac Escalade. We had amazing wine, delicious snacks and beautiful views. Everyone was so nice and welcoming.

About Traverse City
Traverse City is a lakeside city in northern Michigan on Grand Traverse Bay, known for cherries, vineyards, sandy beaches and great dunes nearby.
Traverse City sits at the head of Grand Traverse Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan in the north-west of Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Sandy beaches and a waterfront park with a marina lie in front of a compact downtown of brick buildings, restaurants and independent shops. The region calls itself the cherry capital of the world, and orchards of tart cherries cover the hills around the bay.
