Old Mission Peninsula Wine Trail

Wineries & Vineyards · Traverse City, MI

This slender 18-mile peninsula stretching north from Traverse City into Grand Traverse Bay creates one of Michigan's most scenic wine regions. Eleven wineries dot the landscape between rolling vineyards and cherry orchards, each taking advantage of the unique microclimate created by surrounding waters. The trail winds past century-old barns, through countryside that shifts from lakefront views to hilltop vistas. Tasting rooms range from intimate farmhouse settings to modern facilities with expansive decks overlooking the vines. The peninsula's tip ends at the historic Old Mission Lighthouse, making this both a wine adventure and a journey through Northern Michigan's agricultural heritage.
