Vineyard hopping - Tour driver Rob excellent. Great sense of humor and connected with everyone on bus. Each vineyard had a beautiful setting and staff was very helpful suggesting their specialty wines. It was “ Vineyard hopping “ rather than tour of their facility. Enjoyed the day!

Gorgeous and relaxing - The tour was very relaxing and had several beautiful views. The wine was very good with nice variety, the 4 hours and 3 stops at sunset was the perfect way to start our trip!

Winery tour - This is a sunset winery bus tour even though a boat photo is attached to the info. Confusing but very enjoyable because of our nice tour guide, Mr. Frizzle. Wine at Hawthorne is excellent. 2nd winery not so much and didn’t finish our tastings and sangria. Bonobo wine steward was rude and rushed us when we arrived. He was more interested in closing up the place and should be not be a wine steward.

Bucket List Trip to Traverse City - I only rated 4 because one of the Wineries was changed. Should have told us upfront. Besides that it was beautiful and the wine and scenery were great!
