Went here and Chateau Chantal, this seemed more like a "traditional" winery and the wines were tastier to my palate (uneducated as it may be). However the tasting room is much smaller than Chantal, so you wait much longer to get served. Servers @ both were knowledgeable and pleasant.

Chateau Grand Traverse was one of the original wineries up north and they are still producing high quality wines. We particularly enjoy the Pinot Gris and Chardoney. Nice tasting room and a very pleasant staff.

I went wine tasting one day with a friend with no intention on actually buying any wine until I tasted their Grand Traverse Select, Sweet Traverse Red. So glad I did. Every time I am out and about I pick up a bottle from the store. It's not hard to find; any liquor/beer store will have it as does Walmart... More

Their 2010 Lot 49 Riesling is very nice. We purchased a bottle and we're going to let it age for a while before drinking. There was not much else to buy.
