We were visiting Charlevoix and this was a fun activity. We picked peaches and also did the sunflower trail. Very reasonably priced and the staff was friendly and helpful. They followed all the COVID procedures and we felt completely safe. There is a U-Pick stand outside where you pay and get the bucket, so you don't even have to go in the market.

Bee Well Mead & Cider

Our family has lived in the area between Clam Lake, Lake Bellaire, and Torch Lake for six generations. We have a special love of the area, and we want to bring you the flavor of this spectacular spot. Our honey comes from bees that travel to local orchards and farms, creating a flavor that truly represents Northern Michigan. We source our fruit as close to the meadery as possible by working with those same local farmers whose crops were pollinated by the bees. We have a long family history of bottling delicious drinks. Our great-great-grandpa Bailey bottled water from a natural spring on the banks of Clam Lake. This fantastic water was sold throughout the community. His building still stands across from our childhood home, and serves as a daily reminder to do grandpa proud.

Loved this place! I asked for a specific type of cider and after trying a few, left with a 4 pack of cans. Great service!

I dined here for lunch with my wife and 2 kids on July 20, 2020. We were driving to Petosky from Glen Arbor and we were looking for a lunch spot. We sort of just stumbled upon this place by accident and I am so glad we did. This place has a winery and a restaurant in the back and all kinds of nice things to see here. We had a fantastic lunch and even took a homemade cherry pie home. Cherry pie if my absolute fav so i consider myself an expert and this is the very best cherry pie I ever had in my life. I will go out of my way top stop back here again for lunch no question.

Torch Lake Cellars

Reviewed By 747ChrisH747 - Grand Rapids, United States

The views here are stunning! A truly must stop just to take it in.  They built a fantastic tasting room with lots of stone and polished wood put together in a regular style yet with artsy touches. They charge $6 for 6 tastes. Neither of us liked their wines, but their cider varieties are outstanding. Johnny Cider and Sangria being my two favorites. The only real issue is they are so small they can't bottle their ciders, so you have to drink it within 7 days from a howler before it goes bad. This prevents you from buying multiple varieties or even multiple of the same one for a later day. Hopefully everyone will find this gem and help it grow big enough to be able to bottle their ciders. The service was excellent. Overall a 5 star review. I would definitely return and make sure you check out the 2nd floor viewing area.

Road trip to Ethanology during our recent stay in the area. Looking to purchase some gear and libations we were enthusiastically greeted by the knowledgeable staff. Got an impromptu tour and history of the distillery. Plus a sample tasting before purchasing one of the ‘cocktail kits’. Love the Mel! Would love to come back post Covid to hang and enjoy!
