Peninsula Cellars

"Great little winery. Love the many options. Always friendly staff."

"My favorite winery on the peninsula! I'm not a huge wine drinker but they had some different offerings then just the standard glass of wine and on top of that they were also delicious. I had the sangria and a frozen wine drink. Out of all the wineries it has the most character with all the little details that go along with the fact it was originally a school house. The ladies that helped us were also the most fun and we didn't feel like we were being rushed."

"Unpretentious and low key! I’m not really a wine drinker, but I felt comfortable and welcome here. And not rushed like at other places on the peninsula. We tried a cider flight and a wine flight! The place is in an old schoolhouse building which had some nice character but is a bit small. It was fall and we sat outside on the patio, but I’m not sure if they have heated/enclosed outdoor seating in winter?"

"We loved this winery! The place used to be a school and Maine of the elements are still original (such as the blackboards). I suggest doing the flight to be accompanied by the picnic pack. The girls here are super nice! Such a great experience! Thank you!"

"Looking for a fun and quasi educational spot in Traverse City? Look no further than Peninsula Cellars! This winery is a true gem, as it used to be the Maple Grove School house that operated from 1896 until 1956. So not only will you get to enjoy amazing drinks, but you'll also get a history lesson with each sip. I recently visited Peninsula Cellars and tried one of their cider flights. The ciders were all delicious, but my absolute favorite was the Cinnamon Swirl cider. It tasted like I was drinking a warm slice of apple pie, minus the utensils. The staff at Peninsula Cellars were also top-notch. They were so friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the place. The atmosphere is so nostalgic. There's something so cozy and inviting about drinking in an old schoolhouse. It's like you're transported to a simpler time where you don't have to worry about adulting or paying bills. Plus, there's a lovely outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your drinks and take in the beautiful surroundings. I highly recommend Peninsula Cellars to anyone visiting Traverse City if you’re looking for a non-traditional winder setting. You get great drinks, a cool history lesson, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere - what more could you ask for? Just make sure to bring a designated driver because those ciders pack a punch!"
