    We had the best time! You forget you’re in northern MI when you step onto these wineries- they’re just STUNNING. My husband and I went on the tour just the two of us and ended up making friends with everyone on our bus and specifically two other couples around our age. Our driver- Scott R. was so kind, knowledgable and took the time to chat with everyone on our trip. He made the experience homey and special!

  • Great time!
