This high priced winery has a great view, but the customer service provided by those that talk with you about their wines is almost non-existent...they simply only care about pouring wines and getting you out of there....sad, very sad....we will not go back
Hello,
Our sincere apologies that our service was not performing on the day of your visit, I'm very upset to hear this was what you experienced. We do strive to attain a positive staff that is typically very engaging with our guests.
Apologies from the entire staff,

This winery should not be missed, from the tasting room you can see the water on booths sides of the peninsula. The wine was good and we enjoyed a full glass with a cheese place in a cozy seating area.
My sister and I were looking for something to do while we were in the area and ended up taking the drive on to the Old Mission Lighthouse. We stopped a couple different wineries, but this was by far my favorite. It is so beautiful and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The views from the winery are spectacular....

This was one winery I could have bypassed on our tour. We walked into a crowded tasting room and found a spot at the bar. Immediately you can tell the tasting crowd was not a wine educated crowd as well as the inexperienced staff. We waited close to ten minutes to have anyone come to our attention. Once we selected...

Our apologies for your very poor experience with us this past weekend. You are right, we were bombarded with tour busses that hadn't been planned all at once. This certainly doesn't excuse the slack treatment you received once at the bar.
We appreciate your bringing this to our attention so we can provide the better training for our staff and...

Once again we made a trek up to Traverse City from Grand Rapids to taste and purchase wines. And once again our experience was fabulous. Because of the weather we were the only guests in the tasting room on Tuesday morning and we were well cared for. It is always so interesting to spend time talking with your wine experts....

I've never had an experience like this at a winery. The wine tasted like vinegar, samples were scanty (barely two sips). We didn't purchase any which has never happened before. The pourer also was not very friendly. The place is beautiful; the view of the bay can't be beat.
Hello,
Thank you for sharing your concerns with our tasting room. Needless to say, I'm very dissapointed that you had such a poor experience. Would you please be willing to answer a few questions so that we may better pinpoint the issues discussed?
I noticed you posted on January 17th, was that also the date you visited with us? I...

i can never brag up this vineyard enough between the informative help at the wine tasting bar to the quality of wine. Every visit is a pleasure.

We went on a very busy day but was given great service. They took there time given recommendations on what we may like. The wine was great. I enjoyed the Riesling.
Well organized tasting even in the busy season. Deck is wonderful in summer. Can order a glass of wine now with some cheese, etc. Wish they would offer a variety of musicians and let them play outside too.
