Hawthorne Vineyards

Wineries & Vineyards · Traverse City, MI

Hawthorne Vineyards sits on a quiet stretch of Old Mission Peninsula where rolling hills meet Grand Traverse Bay. The family-owned winery has been crafting small-batch wines since the early 2000s, focusing on cool-climate varieties that thrive in this unique microclimate. Their tasting room occupies a converted barn with exposed beams and wide windows that frame vineyard rows stretching toward the water. The relaxed atmosphere draws both serious wine enthusiasts and casual visitors exploring Traverse City's wine country. Outdoor seating areas provide stunning views of the bay, especially during golden hour when the light hits the vines just right.
