About this tour
Explore Old Mission wine country in comfort on a Traverse City winery and food tour that trades the party bus for an air-conditioned luxury SUV. With a local guide at the wheel, you can focus on the scenery, the wines, and the company.
Visit four wineries and enjoy included wine samples, with flights, bottles, food, and glasses available to purchase separately. Guides bring local knowledge and wine enthusiasm to each stop, while private tours can set a flexible pace and visit up to four locations. Bookings may be private or semi-private; smaller groups can be combined with other travelers, while groups over six receive private SUVs. Every reservation also comes with a complimentary bottle of wine.
Meet near the State Street entrance to the parking structure, beside Middlecoast Brewery. Choose a Traverse City winery and food tour for a relaxed ride through wine country, and spend your day tasting rather than navigating.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.98 from 571 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 9.5. Top 3% in Traverse City means it ranks in the top 3% of tours in Traverse City by this score.
