Welcome to Brys Estate
Spanning 155 acres, Brys Estate is the largest contiguous winery estate on the Old Mission Peninsula, just north of Traverse City.

The Brys experience includes an old-world tasting room, unique elevated Upper Deck with panoramic views of our expansive vineyards and East Grand Traverse Bay, a Private Guesthouse, Lawn Bar, and serene Secret Garden.

Upper Deck closed for table service until Memorial Day Weekend 2025. Some seating available through winter season, safety and weather permitting. Learn more
Lawn Bar
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 snack items. Reservations are not required and all group sizes are welcome. In the winter, fire pits warm the guests seated around them. In the summer and fall, relax at a picnic table or Adirondack chair and take part in a game of cornhole. Wine flights and cheese & charcuterie boards are not served in this location. Dogs are allowed as long as they remain leashed and are properly cared for. Learn more
