Chateau Grand Traverse

We visited this winery yesterday and enjoyed our tasting flights. The server was helpful and friendly. However, when it came time to order the wines we wanted to buy, we were told to get them from the numbered bins and take to the counter to check out. Wr were the only customers in the winery at that time, so it’s not like they were too busy to load our case for us. The wines are good and reasonably priced, but don’t expect to have your wines pulled for you to purchase.

Such a fun tasting. Kathy was knowledgeable and kind while she helped this “wine ignorant” person figure out what she likes. I got a flight, met friends, listened to live music. Great vibe!!

5 Stars is not enough! This was truly a Grand Experience! From the incredible views of the vineyard to drinking wine on beautiful patio, this is a must do excursion that I highly recommend to all. My knowledge of wine making, types of grapes, and the how and why of how each flavor is born gives me a whole new appreciation of enjoying each bottle. My tour was personally given by Gabe Marzonie. After the tour we continued my education with a tasting of the best and most flavorful wine on the beautiful patio! The staff from start to finish were so gracious and inviting that I instantly felt welcome and cared for. Please do not pass up this elevated experience!

We loved our time at Chateau Grand Traverse! We did a private tour and seated tasting with Michael and he was excellent! Very knowledgeable and the experience was exceptional! Definitely book a tour! It’s so unique and you’ll learn so much about this historic winery! The wines were all exceptional! Our favorite was the Late Harvest Riesling. Definitely don’t miss ordering their cheese board during your visit and the German soft pretzel! Their cherry seltzer is also so refreshing to enjoy on their patio! Definitely a must visit in Traverse City!

Nice vibe inside, very casual. The wines were tasty. They could do more to tell the “story of their winery”. I didn’t feel a true concert experience. But the cost, the wines and the casual style were perfect for a rainy day ..

Great place to visit if you're in the area, probably one of the best winery in Michigan...they have quite a bit of collection of wines, amazing servers and bartenders, timely service. Wine tasting tours are available daily here and costs $10 for 5 wines, of course you get to keep the glass.

I do not think I have ever had a worse experience at a winery ever. We enjoy their cherry wine and spiced cherry wine, but our tasting experience was one of the worst ever. Our server at the tasting was named Kathy I believe. The only employee without a name tag. This individual was absolutely awful. Rushed and rushed us even though we were the only party in the building doing tastings. Several other wineries were not surprised to hear about our experience here. All the wineries in the area were wonderful and we were treated respectfully. Avoid this location at all costs if you do not want your day ruined. This was our third visit and have never been so disappointed with a winery as I was that day.

We have been winetasting up in the Traverse City area for 25 years. Château grand Traverse never disappoints! They have the best wines, both white and red, especially for the price point! We just joined their wine club and can’t wait to have their amazing wines shipped to us downstate. You gotta check them out!
