Wineries & Vineyards · Traverse City, MI

Gilchrist Farm Winery sits on rolling Leelanau Peninsula hills where grape vines meet cherry orchards in true Northern Michigan fashion. Their tasting room pours estate wines alongside bottles from other local vintners, creating a diverse lineup that showcases the region's growing reputation. Weekend brunch draws crowds for mimosas and farm-fresh dishes, while the expansive patio overlooks vineyard rows and Grand Traverse Bay in the distance.
