At Chateau Grand Traverse, we encourage you to Uncork Your North. Uncork a bottle of your favorite wine, uncork memories made around the bonfire, uncork your favorite meals shared with friends, uncork toes in the sand and days spent on the beach, uncork snow covered trails and paths not yet taken, uncork what makes you smile, and uncork everything northern Michigan has to offer.

  • The spectacular view is second only to their superb wine. They make my favorite summer wine, the Late Harvest Chardonnay. They make my favorite hostess gift, Cherry Riesling. Their Barrel fermented Chardonnay is memorable and their staff is very accommodating and helpful. CGT does everything right and I absolutely love becoming out of town guests to their winery because they never disappoint!

  • This was my first time wine tasting and was so pleased with the helpfulness of our consultant! Loved the gift shop area and the view is spectacular. CGT is a must-stop on your wine tasting tour of Old Mission Peninsula.

  • Let me tell about this wonderful winery. We were there today in the heat of the cherry festival and their staff was not only personable but knowledgeable. Two to five groups of people and everyone had wine in their glass. And on top of that their team tag teamed the groups so their team work was impeccable. The wine was fantastic but the atmosphere made it divine.

    Katrina Meyers Visitor

  • We stayed at the Inn for our first wedding anniversary. The staff was fantastic! We had such an amazing time and the views are breath-taking. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great weekend getaway.

  • We stayed there one night and it was beatiful. Our room was perfectly clean and the whole Inn was cozy. The staff was super friendly, I even left my coat behind and they mailed it back. We can't wait to return.
