Vine Ride

We specialize in small group tours of Petoskey area wineries. Reserve a handful of seats in our stylish 8-passenger van, or book the whole van for a private group experience. We’ll chauffeur you to several wineries to taste wines unique to our region. Here vintners blend cold-hardy grapes with classic European varieties, yielding distinct flavors only northern climates can produce.

Crooked Vine Vineyard & Winery

Reviewed By G9780TAlisag

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!

Bay View Association

Reviewed By Global531832

Gingerbread cottages with flower-filled window boxes built in the 1880s, and streets shaded by tall leafy trees, take you back to a simpler time. There are concerts and plays to attend in the spacious auditorium in the heart of Bay View. Enjoy hiking trails, tennis courts, swimming and sailing in Little Traverse Bay. Browse in the well-stocked library, pick up your mail at the old fashioned post office, while munching on freshly baked pastries. Evenings often bring awe-inspiring sunsets in shades of gold, orange and crimson, a perfect ending of a peaceful or energetic day in Bay View.

Resort Pike Cidery and Winery

Reviewed By ffoley1048 - North Carolina Coast, United States

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.

Boyne Highlands

The resort features one of the longest ski run sin the lower peninsula of Michigan at over a mile long and the most skiable acres. Boyne Highlands is the perfect place to spend your vacation with so many additional activities such as dog sledding and horseback riding. Boyne Highlands offers great four-season activities, which means you can enjoy the fun and excitement of the Petoskey area all year long!

Two tremendous golf courses. Arthur Hills is one of the most scenic you will every play and The Moor course is also special. Both are in perfect shape and the greens are consistent, true and fast. I would go again in a minute. Fantastic views and elevation changes.

Nub's Nob

Recreation area offers downhill and cross-country skiing, 246 acres on 43 slopes and runs up to almost a mile in length.

Another great annual ski trip to Nub's Nob! I just wanted to pass along my thanks to Nub's Nob for enforcing their Covid protocols. There was a young lady constantly traversing the lobby to make sure that folks were masked up properly. They have suspended indoor eating and drinking this season to allow more people to come in and warm up. They have the food system down. Once you get it, just bag it and head outside (we ate in the car to stay warm). Nub's is always well groomed and the staff is always friendly and helpful. We appreciate that they limited lift tickets to keep the crowd down. Best skiing in Michigan!

Pond Hill Farm

Enjoy our new large outdoor Biergarten for food, beer, wine and hard cider! Wander the farm with a beer and take in our 200 acres of nature. The kids will love the gnome house hunt through the woods, the pumpkin patch in the fall and the playground and farm animals are a must as well!!

Love feeding the bass out in the pond. Slinging giant squash using a giant sling shot. The animals are fun for the kids. Great place to bring the sleds for the kids and the parents can sit inside tasting some divine beverages.

Pond Hill Farm Winery

Reviewed By XLsDADDY - Poynette, United States

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

Petoskey State Park

Reviewed By davecX2016XU - Harbor Springs, United States

Situated on the East end of Little Traverse bay, the Petoskey State Park is one of the most amazing beachfront areas in the Great Lakes. It's like a smaller version of Holland State Park. Miles of sandy beach, amazing water, a really nice concession stand, the ability to bring your own picnic and beverages - just wow. We visit at least a few times a summer to "get away" from it all because it is so relaxing. Highly recommend! 5 stars
