Traveler reviews
Loved our Wine Tour
Such a fun and beautiful experience! Our tour guide Mike was very knowledgeable and gave us all the good recommendations, not just on the wineries we visited but locally in northern Michigan. We would definitely do this another time!
Honeymoon winery tour
Amazing experience! Our guide Mr. Fizzle was top notch. Funny, personable and very knowledgeable about the wine, the wineries and the local geography. He was a blast and cannot recommend him enough. We had a great time and would love to do it again!
First time to the UP.
Our driver and guide, Mike, was great! Very personal and informative. You’ll feel like you just made a new friend. We visited 3 great wineries each with their own distinct character and charm. The wine and food offerings at each were very nice. Bought several bottles to take home.
Great fun and good wine
Great experience. Our driver (Todd) was friendly, professional, and entertaining. The white wines were great. We recommend this fun filled evening.
Mr Frizzle was the Schizzle
Mr Frizzle was a wonderful driver and informative about each winery and their offerings. He was fun, made us feel comfortable and added to an enjoyable experience. We will definitely book again.
