    Took my daughter, who has been wanting to go through the facility. Well worth! The tour guide provided a lot of history about the facility, surrounding area and mental health.

    Front Street is a cute street offering many shopping experiences, with multiple selection of small local stores. Dining options of a local variety are abundant. A lovely street and we enjoyed our time on Front Street.

    The tour was really good. Showed how a small distillery manages, operates and does a great job of being successful. The "rickhouse" was a totally different perspective of what rick houses are like in bourbon country. As a small craft distiller Grand Traverse Distillery does a great job. Brought home two bottles that taste fantastic and will go back just to purchase them.

    We loved Bowers Harbor in Traverse City! Their outdoor tasting area was so relaxing! The views are incredible and the wine flights are perfect for groups! We had the Harvest Flight and enjoyed all our wines from the flight! Plenty of seating, but I’d recommend making a reservation on the weekend!

    The views are beautiful. We enjoyed sitting outside. The wine was ok. It’s a little expensive and maybe it was because it was a beautiful outside but we didn’t see much indoor seating.

    Such a lovely museum. I had no idea there were so many different forms of Inuit art. We are so glad we came. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Museum design is easy flowing with the art displayed beautifully either on the walls or in display cases. Informative signs explain the art and the Inuit people.
    There is also a children's section for hands on experiences. So potentially this could be a family event.
    We truly enjoyed our visit. There were a few sections closed as new exhibits were being created. I thought it was very nice of the museum to lower the admittance charge by $1 because of the inconvenience. I want to compliment the museum on their thoughtfulness.

    What a fun atmosphere! Went with family and stayed a while. They offer sampling flights and wine by the glass. Don’t forget to add on truffles with your wine. Friendly staff and very helpful.

    4 of us stopped in for quick beer. The place was very busy but it didn’t take long to get served. Lots of tables. Looked very family friendly. The beers were good. We would like to go back again someday.

    You can see both sides of the water. Not a good breeze on the deck but there were umbrellas to keep cool. There were picnic tables on the lawn but since its lower, you might not get the view. The Barrel Reserve Chardonnay was my favorite.

    Charming space in an old school house. Good selection of wines & snacks. Decorated so darling inside & beautiful autumnal decor outside!! Highly recommend!
    There is seating inside or outside on a pretty patio.

    At the top of the peninsula, this is one of the more modern wineries I have been too. The building is overlooking the lake on top of a hill with all glass walls. We were able to sneak in without having reservations for a tasting, but highly recommended as space is limited. They had preselected flights to choose from both dry and sweet. We ended up not leaving with a bottle, but quickly regretted it and came back for the bottle of the Riesling. Beautiful place, and great place to go with a group.

    While we didn't buy any wines here, we thought it was a good place to visit. Good music was playing on the patio and the views were nice.

    the wine and cider was good as usual. however the workers stated that today was the slowest day of spring break, and they were not very friendly or nor did we get acknowledged when we left...a "thank you for coming" would have been nice.
