We had one of the best private wine tour experiences with Traverse City Tours! Kathy was phenomenal to work with from beginning until end. I was extremely impressed early on with how responsive and professional she was. The week before our trip she reached out to confirm details and was flexible with hours and the overall schedule. The day of our tour we ran into issues due to my mistake with one of the winery’s hours. Kathy was so wonderful and helped reroute the itinerary to make sure we hit all our favorite spots. She was extremely professional and personable, and we really enjoyed our time with her. The cherry on top of an already great experience was how accommodating she was at the end of our trip. Kathy offered to drop us off downtown and meet up with us the following day so we didn’t have to haul our wine cases around downtown or drive back out to our VRBO. We try to visit Traverse City at least once a year and this was by far the best company I’ve worked with to date, we look forward to using Traverse City Tours again!

This was our second time using Traverse City Tours for a private wine tour for two, and it was
Just as good as the first! We used Kathy's services over 3 years ago when my (then) girlfriend and I were taking our very first trip together. Fast forward to now, and we used Kathy's services on our honeymoon! We fell in love with wine after doing our very first trip together and this second trip was no exception. Kathy was professional, clean (followed COVID-19 restrictions), and friendly the entire time. It brought back so many memories of our first trip together and we will NEVER use another private wine tour service. Kathy and her crew are our go-to company, and they're all extremely knowledgeable about all the different wineries and wine all throughout Traverse City. If anyone wants an intimate wine tour, that is priced far better than the rest of the competition, look no further than Traverse City Tours!

Kathy was such a treat to have as our tour guide for our honeymoon wine tasting! She was so helpful from the beginning to the very end of our tour. As a young couple who was unfamiliar with Traverse city she was very helpful in recommending places to eat and drink all around town. She took us to some of her favorite wineries and told us some local history about each stop. Kathy also took photos of us at each winery so that we would have lasting memories of our honeymoon. She is an amazing guide and I would recommend her to everyone!

My wife and I first used Kathy 5 years ago during our first visit to Traverse City. This trip to Traverse City was with 3 other couples celebrating a 50th birthday. Kathy was great to work with and was very helpful in choosing the wineries to visit and maximize visits during out tour time . She had everything organized for us including tasting and small plates that we decided to have during or visits. The fan was a perfect size, new and spotless. She was very prompt, a great sense of humor and a great host. I really enjoyed her knowledge of the wineries and of the area. Thanks again Kathy for all your help, It was the perfect day! Tony

Kathy arranged everything for our afternoon tasting tour. She chose 4 perfect vineyards based on our taste and requests, and made sure we were everywhere on time. On the ride between vineyards she was friendly, curteous, and full of usefull information about the area.
We will absoloutely be doing a tour with Kathy again next year!

This was an amazing experience for my wife and I. We came to Traverse City for our honeymoon and this wine tour was gifted to us from a friend as a wedding gift. We had an absolute blast! Kathy was such a great host, super knowledgeable and such a sweet lady. She took us to all of the best wineries, had a table ready for us at each one, took pictures for us upon arrival, and catered to all of our needs. She even made a pit-stop at a grocery store on our way home for my wife and I. She really was top notch and made it super special for us. We plan on coming back and each year for our anniversary, highly recommend to all!

We booked Traverse City Tours for our TC wine tasting excursion for a friend’s birthday and they did not disappoint! Kathy (the owner) was our driver for the day and we had so much fun!
The vehicle was new and spotless. Kathy had everything taken care of in advance for us, which made for a relaxing day.
We had plenty of time for tasting and exploring each winery. The area was beautiful, each winery was unique. Kathy was so personable & knowledgeable and really helped make the day that much more fun.
We will definitely use Traverse City Tours again for a safe ride when visiting the TC wineries.

Kathy was amazing. She was very informative about the wineries and best deals, she kept us on schedule, picked us up on time, and was so pleasant to talk to during the tour. We had a storm the night before and made accommodations for us easily so it was absolutely no stress for us. 10/10 recommended. I will come back.

This tour is a must if you want to enjoy and understand Traverse City and surroundings. We were thoroughly informed and educated into many of the houses, businesses, personalities and wineries in the city and surroundings. Our visits to locations after the tour were with more knowledge which made them more enjoyable. I would do it again. Ron

Hi everyone,
I am looking to book a tour for a bachelorette party June 24th, 2018 on the Private Bus. When I book today, do I need to pay in full or is their a deadline as the time approaches? Just trying to get our money situated! Thank you ! Callie

I'm pretty sure you have to pay in full first, but they do have a phone number, so I would give them a call and see if something could be worked out.

Is there a difference between the Old Town your and the other one? Looks like same price. Do they each go to different locations / wineries?
Written August 19, 2017
I do know there are two different tours, although I don't rember the names. One tour are the wineries on Old Mission and one are the wineries on Leelanau.

Hi
We're visiting traverse city August 22-23 and would love to go on a wine tour. Which one do you think is best. Do you visit the sparkling wine vineyard on any of the tours.
Also it would be just me and my husband. We're about 57 years old and in good shape. Which tour do you think we'd like best.
Thanks julie

The only sparkling winery on the trails in TC is L Mawbu and if you tour the Leelanau Peninsula you can stop there. There is also a small winery next door (Big Little Wines) that is really good.

Good Morning,
Will be in the area with a group of 9 ladies for wine touring weekend of September 15-17th. Staying in Suttons Bay area and considering your 4.5hr wine tour.
1. Will you pick us up at our vacation home rental, or would we have to meet you elsewhere?
2. How do I book and pay for your services in advance of the event?
3. Can we request Cathy for our tour, she sounds like a winner?!
Thanks very much

We are trying to plan our first winery trip for my daughters bachelorette party. Since we have never been to the area, would you mind sharing where you stayed and if you would recommend it? If not, where would you recommend?
Any other tips, activities, restaurants, fun atmosphere bars, etc.,(nothing to crazy, just good fun) would be appreciated. We will be going in May.
Thanks so much!

We stayed at The Red Lion Motor Lodge in Leelanau and we loved it, we have stayed there several times before, we were trying to get a rental house on Air BnB or a VRBO but we went in Aug. and during peak times they only rent by the week, not just the weekend, so if you are going in May you'll probably want to try that because I don't think that is considered peak season! We had dinner at Amical in dt TC on a Friday night and it was amazing, and The Hop Lot is a must, it's a brewery with live music, great beer and wine etc. the ambiance was great! Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!
