We had a wonderful time at 2 lads this afternoon. The service was incredible! We did a tasting w/4 wines, plus included 1 sparkling. We also ordered a large charcuterie too, which was a perfect pairing with the wines, and definitely enough to s...
hare among three people. Our favorite wine was their Cab Franc. After visiting 3 other wineries, it’s still our favorite from our whole trip!
They were busy, but we got to talk to Chris, the owner, and it was great to have him make time to talk to customers. We had a great conversation about unique process to make their cab franc Blanc.
As former NC winery owners, we know what it takes to go drom grapes to glass, and this place is truly doing it right! Thanks for a wonderful experience and introduction to Michigan wines! We look forward to coming back to visit with friends in the summertime!

Enjoyable stop at 2 Lads Winery on the Old Mission Peninsula. Great views of Grand Traverse Bay while enjoying a glass of wine and a splendid charcuterie. Not being a wine enthusiast i cannot comment on the wine quality however the charcuterie...
was top notch amd the staff was extremely engaging. This is great stop while visiting the peninsula and i would have given a 5 rating if not for the deisel tour bus parked next to the outside seating, idleing loudly, and kinda ruining the serenity of beauty and views.

Great views. Clean restrooms. Nice outdoor seating in the grass overlooking the water. Service was very slow and we were not checked on at all, had to ask for our check after 10 mins.
