A fantastic place to taste all forms of cherry. Don't come straight after a big lunch or dinner as there are plenty of variety here. More

You can't think of think of Traverse City without cherries, and there isn't a better place to sample a huge variety of cherry products than Cherry Republic! From chocolate covered cherries, cherry salsa, cherry bbq sauce, cherry soda and cherry wine, Cherry Republic has you covered. The beauty of this place is that samples of nearly everything they see are... More

Anything cherry that you can think of. Great products available online also. Lots of free samples to help you decide, or make it harder to decide. More

Loved Cherry Republic. The samples available make selections difficult, but you know your purchase is something you will enjoy. They have shipping to anywhere in the US if you are flying and can not pack all you delicious purchases :) The girls behind the "snack bar" were very knowledgeable about the wine and cider available for purchase (and there are...

Maybe we were there on an off day, but I don't get the hype. We went to the location in Traverse City on a Sunday. There were NO samples, there was NO wine tasting. Yes, there is Cherry Everything, which is fun, but I expected more. I was really looking forward to going, but had to admit I was disappointed.... More

We stopped in to Cherry Republic and had the best time with the wine tasting. They have some of the best employees (thank you Ashley for making our stay memorable). Our favorites are the cherry salsa and the Confederacy wine. We will be back!!! More

Our favorites include "Cherry Shook Dessert Wine". But watch out, the 375 ml bottle at 19% alcohol packs a punch; and the "sour cherry patches". There are stores in Glen Arbor and Traverse City, Charlevoix, and Ann Arbor. We visited the one in Traverse City. [-] More

We shopped the retail store in Glen Arbor and bought tee shirts and dark chocolate covered cherries. Our favorite thing was the slice of cherry pie with homemade ice cream for $3.95 at the adjoining eatery! We went twice during our three night stay. It was that tasty. We would watch the gorgeous sunset on Lake Street, turn around and... More
