Q + A

If you enjoy wine, we highly recommend this beautiful winery on the Old Mission Peninsula. Wonderful drinks and views for everyone! There are several other lovely wineries located nearby as well.

Bonobo Winery

This is the perfect bar spot for bourbon lovers, prohibition style drinks, and those that enjoy a speakeasy vibe! This place makes amazing cocktails and has great energy.

Low Bar

Traverse City is the nation's cherry capital! Stop here for any and every cherry product you could imagine! We love their cherry salsa and chocolate covered cherries :)

Cherry Republic | Traverse City

One of the most beautiful beer gardens with great outdoor seating and fabulous drinks! We love to stop here every time we are nearby!

Hop Lot Brewing Co. & Beer Garden

If you want to take in the amazing views of Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore and maybe even hike up a sand dune, we highly recommend checking out Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive in Empire -- about 30 minutes from Traverse City. Purchase of a park pass is required!
