Wine Tasting Information

Wine tastings are offered daily, year-round in our Old Mission Tasting Room. Enjoy the beautiful Northern Michigan wine country while our friendly and knowledgeable staff walk you through the wine tasting experience. Wine tastings are offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, and no reservations are required.  If you are visiting with a group, please click here for our group policy and information.

Tastings – Enjoy five tastes of any current release wines, including our Reserve Wines. CGT Reserve wines include those that are limited production, single vineyard, and/or winery exclusive. $5.00 for five tastes.

We understand that our guests would like to visit several wineries while touring the Traverse City area, and that the wine tasting experience can become costly. Therefore we offer a $3.00 purchase credit, allowing our guests to redeem their tasting fee upon the purchase of a bottle of wine. We are also proud to offer complimentary wine tours year round.  We look forward to seeing you for a taste, tour, or visit!

The Patio at CGT

Unhurry, unworry, unwind, and uncork the beauty of what’s around you. The Patio at CGT offers stunning views of our oldest vineyard, planted over 40 years ago. Enjoy house made bites such as distinctive charcuterie, crackers and spreads, or spiced Mediterranean olives – all crafted to pair with our wines. The covered, heated portion of the Patio offers a unique three-season area to savor wine by the glass or a flight while surrounded by the beauty of Michigan wine country.
