We thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The setting, scenery and grounds are all gorgeous. We were immediately welcomed by Geoff and selected a glass of wine to enjoy drinking under the apple tree in Adirondack chairs. They did a very nice job making wines from the various grapes and creating a Napa Valley like building and experience. I highly recommend you include this stop on your wine trail trip, or just to enjoy for a single visit as we did!

The four of us had a pleasant afternoon outside sampling our cider flights. It wasn't busy so we could take our time studying the board and carefully choosing our pours. My favorite was the Apple Blueberry. It was a perfect outing for a fall day. Next time, I will bring some snacks to share.

What an amazing place we happened to find. It was the hidden gem of our entire 3 week road trip. We just happened to be passing through the area with the plans of driving through the tunnel of trees (right up the road) when we were giving the recommendation to stop and see this place. Man are we glad we did! They had and have everything to see and do all in one location. Amazing Visit! So this place has a winery, a brewery, a restaurant, indoor and outdoor patio seating, trail walks, trail horse buggy rides, pumpkin patch, flower garden, fish ponds, family photo opportunites, pumpkin bowling, pumpkin slingshot, pumpkin basketball, gourd launchers at targets for prizes, gourd and potato baseball, potato golf, freshly made hot cider doughnuts, and an amazing gift shop.... It literally has it all. Keep in mind it is located on a beautiful piece of property. It was well maintained, family owned, friendly staff and on and on. We literally spent more than half a day here goofing around, which was perfect for my family. I'm sure all the locals of this area love and support this place. It allowed the opportunity for my kids to get out of the car, let them use up some energy, and as a family we all legitimately a ton of fun together. My son loved shooting the gourd slingshot or launchers at the targets. My wife and daughter loved the pumpkin bowling for prizes, my other daughter loved feeding the fish and I loved the BEER! Beer and wine were both very tasty. Several options depending on what you like. Food was fresh and nicely plated. We spent so much unexpected time here that we wound up staying in the area for another night before getting back on the road to our next adventure. Thank You for an amazing stop and a wonderful family owned property. Best of luck in the future as business grows. Cheers
6. Maple Moon Sugarbush and Winery

Located on 80 beautiful acres in Petoskey, Michigan, Maple Moon Sugarbush and Winery offers a little slice of heaven for its visitors. Maple Moon is a wonderful addition to the Petoskey area. Family owned, the maple trees and facility are open for tours and the Peterson's are delightful and welcoming. They sell their products at an on-location store, which includes their own super premium maple ice cream (which is world class) with their own 100% pure maple syrup. They have numerous grades of syrup, all made on the premises, as well as jam, salsa, home-made maple granola and other specialties. Their latest addition is nothing shy of amazing. They have become America's First and ONLY maple winery, with nine 2015 vintages available. It doesn't get any better than this. The Peterson's do it all themselves, and it is a family labor of love. It's wonderful that they have settled in Petoskey, so we can all fall in love with Maple Moon. Tour the sugary and sample delectable treats such as maple syrup, maple candy, maple ice cream, maple root beer and maple wine.

A 66 year tradition of family and farming is the motivation for Walloon Lake Winery. The farm and winery are located on 36 acres outside Petoskey Michigan just 1 mile from beautiful Walloon Lake. We are a modern winery focused on creating the very best wines made from the seven cold hardy grape varieties grown on the farm. Our beautiful winery, pavilion and vineyard would be a beautiful location to host your wedding or a special event. Please contact us if you want more information.

We really enjoyed our visit to Walloon Lake Winery. The building was beautiful, and they're in the process of building a new facility for production during the winter. We sat outside and soaked in the scenery, and it was lovely. The cheeseboard we ordered was also very good. We wound up buying some souvenirs, too :) They apparently also have a wine delivery program that you can sign up for. All in all we had a fun time.

This is one of my favorite wineries in Petoskey, and my husband and I try to visit whenever we are in the area. When we were in the area in July it was the day that a tornado went thru town, and this place lost electricity, so we were unable to do a tasting. We made sure to make the time to visit during this last trip though. This winery is not doing actual "testings" at this time, due to Covid. Patrons are instructed to purchase their glass of wine at the counter and then take it to their table to enjoy. Having said that they aren't doing actual tastings, our server allowed us to try a couple of different kinds before making our final decision. This was great, as it's very hard for me to decide on just one kind, and if I'm going to drink a whole glass it's best if it's something I really like. After I got my wine, and my husband got his beer, we settled at a table along with our son and his friend, and we nibbled on some pretzels while we had our drinks. Every time I visit this winery I say that I am not going to buy any bottles to take with me (the liquor store down the road from my home stocks their wines), but every time I end up purchasing half a case. This time was no different.

We had a short wait for a table spent chilling in Adirondack chairs overlooking rolling hills and a lavender garden. We began with a five-flight wine tree and wood-fired pizza (gf cauliflower crust available) and added two more taster-size samples. Our server, Tracy, was wonderful-actually everyone we encountered was very friendly. We were there on a Thursday to enjoy live music on the deck, tastefully done. Wonderful night.

We visited on New Years Eve 2020 for an early dinner and were not disappointed. We reserved a fire pit area and had beers and a light dinner and everything was very good. Would probably visit again when in the Petoskey area. Nice atmosphere too even during the winter.
