Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery

Our tour guests always LOVE Brys Estates, which is one of Michigan's Top Ten most popular wineries. Our guests will quickly find out that quite possibly the reason for Brys' success is one drink- called the Froze'. The Froze' is a frozen wine drink that is heaven on a hot summer day. Guests can choose from various toppers and this drink is the winery best seller.
Tour guests will be able to purchase the only Sauvignon Blanc on Old Mission Peninsula or try the "porch pounder" which is a rare Pinot Noir Riesling blend. Tour guests can also purchase a customisable tasting of various wines and then head to the deck for an amazing photo opportunity.
The lawn bar is open during the summer months which is one of the best locations in Traverse City to sample wines. Snack packs are also available for purchase.
Another popular attraction for our tour guests is the lavender soaps and lotions that are grown by the Brys family and are available for purchase.

Grand Traverse Bay
Grand Traverse Bay is an arm of Lake Michigan. The bay is separated from the rest of Lake Michigan by the Leelanau Peninsula. The bay is some 32 miles long, ranges from 7 to 10 miles wide, and up to 620 feet deep in spots. It is the second-largest bay of Lake Michigan, behind Green Bay.
Grand Traverse Bay earned its name from 18th-century French voyageurs who made "la grande traverse" or a long trek or crossing, across the mouth of bay.
The most famous feature of the Grand Traverse Bay is the division into East and West arms by the Old Mission Peninsula.
During this tour, on the way from Traverse City to Hawthorne Vineyards, our tour guests will see stunning views of the East Bay. Tour guests will be driven right along the shoreline at times. On the drive from Hawthorne to Bowers guests will see views of the West Bay. Tour guests will see views of both East and West Bays during the rest of the tour as well. A very large part of this award winning tour are the views!
Bowers Harbor Vineyards

Bowers Harbour Vineyards stablished in 1991 is one of the original wineries in the area. Initially a horse farm, the estate now boasts 20 acres of vinifera vines.
