  • Parties of 6 or more are asked to prepare one form of payment.
  • Parties of 8 or more are asked to prepare one form of payment, and an automatic 20% gratuity will be applied to the final bill.

Mid-fall through Memorial Day, table reservations are seated inside the tasting room.

Memorial Day weekend through mid-fall, reservations are seated outdoors on our elevated Upper Deck overlooking the vineyard and East Grand Traverse Bay. 

The Lawn Bar is an outdoor service area just outside of the tasting room doors that offers seating for guests to relax at while they enjoy their glasses of wine, Frosé, hard cider, and food items. Reservations are not required. In the summer and fall, relax at a picnic table or Adirondack chair and take part in a game of cornhole. In the winter, we have fire pits set up with chairs. Dogs are allowed as long as they remain leashed and are properly cared for.

If you arrive after your reservation is scheduled we will hold your table for 15 minutes. If you’re arrive after the 15 minutes, your table may be given to another waiting guest. Please call us at 231-223-9303 if you anticipate a late arrival.
