Visit three Leelanau Peninsula wineries on an easygoing Traverse City wine tour, with air-conditioned transportation and time to savor local wines.

About this tour

Spend an easygoing afternoon among the vineyards of Michigan’s Leelanau Peninsula on a Traverse City Wine Tour. Ride in an air-conditioned vehicle from downtown Traverse City to three wineries, with time at each stop to explore tasting rooms, sample local wines, and admire the surrounding scenery. The tour arranges winery appointments for the group, so you can focus on the views and the glass in front of you.

Wine tastings are not included and are paid for individually; listed tasting prices range from $5 to $15, though some wineries may offer flights, glasses, or samples instead. Winery stops can change based on availability, and appointments do not guarantee immediate seating. Most wineries serve small appetizers rather than full meals, so bring lunch if you’d like more than a snack. You can also bring food and drinks to enjoy on the bus.

Meet at the Grand Traverse County Civic Center and follow the signs to the designated tour parking area. With transportation taken care of, this Traverse City Wine Tour makes it simple to enjoy three winery visits without driving yourself. Reserve your spot and raise a glass to a relaxed day on the peninsula.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.91 from 437 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Traverse City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.5. Top 14% in Traverse City means it ranks in the top 14% of tours in Traverse City by this score.
