Menu for Bowers Harbor Vineyards in Traverse City, MI

This was my 2nd time here on a wine tour and it was such a disappointment. I was bragging this place up our entire way there... since it was my favorite stop a few years back. Wow, did I ever eat my words! Our wine tour bus showed up only to find out weweren?t allowed inside. They made us go around back to order, from 2 people unenthused about our arrival, who directed us to gosit in a cold tent once we chose our $25 flight. So you?re carrying these heavy, bulky tasting trees, to a plastic tent with noheat, dirty tables, and a piece of paper with minimal wine info. There?s no presentation about the wines, no history of theplace, no cozy cup of relaxing wine, not even anyone to talk to who actually wanted us there. Needless to say, our tour busdriver found us an extra stop on our tour because all of us were ready to go after only 20 minutes, and none of us felt welcomeor comfortable there. I sincerely hope this place turns it around because it used to be a really lovely wine destination Read more

Had fun here! Fantastic wines and great atmosphere!

Large wine flights. Found a wine i haven?t heard of Smokey Hollow Gertz vernier, it was good surprise! Reason for 4 stars is... a felt their wasn?t a good set up for getting the wine/ tasting area like many of the other places in the area. Basically orderit and go find. a space to sit quickly.

Fell in love with Bowers 10 years ago when my best friend and I had one of our first ever wine tastings there and we got to meet... the dogs..fast forward to now and this was part of a business trip I came on and we had the most fun here! The outdoor coveredand open seating was nice, Cornhole boards, traveling flight hangers to carry your glasses, and of course yummy wine. I alwaystell people to make sure this is one of their stops if they come up Mission peninsula. Read more

Most of the vineyards on Old Mission have changed the way they do wine tastings. They now do wine "flights" and they are way... more expensive! This location would at least allow you to try up to 5 wines in a flight. Most of tge other locations were doingonly tastings of 3. I would also highly recommend going on a weekday or getting a reservation for a group of 4 or larger toavoid long waits. However, they had some of the best wine we've had on our trip this year. We have been doing annual winetasting for over 11 years and this is the first time we've been inclined to join the wine club. The staff here were great and wehad a great time at this location. The wine at this location was also so tasty that after tasting 5 different wines, we stayedfor an additional glass of wine each. I highly recommend going to this location! Read more
