Lost Cellars, formerly Charlevoix Moon Vineyard, is located just north of the 45th Parallel, about two miles east of Lake Michigan in the Tip of the Mitt American Viticultural Area (AVA). These small batch award-winning wines represent the best of northern Michigan, with both estate grapes and select local fruit to curate a collection of specialty wines enthusiasts search out.

Lost Cellars

Fisherman’s Island State Park is located along the coast of Lake Michigan, just 4 miles from downtown Charlevoix. The park boasts more than 6 miles of unspoiled Lake Michigan shoreline. It's one of the best places to find Petoskey stones!

Charlevoix Cycle Pub gives you the unique opportunity to throw your own private party right on the water in their one of a kind party barge. They are the first "Cycleboat" in the northern part of the state - a 14 passenger pedal powered charter boat!

Sunshine Charters offers three daily sailing trips, morning, afternoon, and an evening sunset cruise. All three tours usually visit both Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan.

SkyBridge Michigan is constructed between the peaks of McLouth to Disciples Ridge. Guests ride the historic Hemlock Scenic Chairlift to the mountain’s top, then venture out along the exhilarating 1,200-foot long and 118-foot high pedestrian bridge. We ventured across a few times on the same trip we toured Castle Farms. Very cool experience! We suggest buying your ticket ahead of time via their website.

SkyBridge Michigan

In addition to the SkyBridge, Boyne Mountain Resort has zip lining, Avalanche Bay, scenic chairlift rides, golf, restaurants, and Deer Lake Beach.

Tucked away in the scenic woods of Northern Michigan, Dunmaglas is quietly becoming known as one of the best golf courses in the country.

Ranked as one of the Best 50 Upscale Courses in the United States by Golf Digest, this 6,897-yard masterpiece features 18 of the most scenic and breathtaking holes you will ever play.

With its spectacular mountain setting and panoramic views towards Deer Lake, its surroundings are every bit as breathtaking as its noteworthy design.
