3 of us took a private tour of 3 wineries and 2 breweries in the greater Traverse City area. What a wonderful time! Luke, our driver was very knowledgeable and tailored our tour just to our tastes.

Testimonials
Thank you Tim, Jodi and Lori for making my sister-in-laws bachelorette party a blast! They’re the nicest people to work with. I can’t wait to take another tour. We rented a ford transit van for 4 hours yesterday and it was unbelievably fun!
I planned a bachelorette party for my best friend and knew we wanted to do a winery tour the weekend we were there. I had been comparing companies to use for the tour and so couldn’t be more happy with the decision to use Traverse City Wine and Beer.
