5-Hour Traverse City Wine Tour: 4 Wineries on Leelanau Peninsula

Traverse City, Michigan, USA

Overview

Sit back and enjoy the gentle slopes, winding country roads and Caribbean-like views on a Leelanau Peninsula Wine Tour. The Magic Shuttle Bus is a chauffeur service with an entire fleet ready to take your group around Leelanau Peninsula's Wine Country.

The 45th Parallel runs through the peninsula, same as for the Bordeaux wine-growing region in France. Wine grapes, tart cherries, apples and peaches are among the many fruits grown in the region, seemingly designed for just that. The peninsula boasts over 25 wineries, many with tasting rooms open to the public.

The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail was No. 3 in the newspaper's 10 Best Readers' Choice travel award contest, finishing behind only Finger Lakes in New York and Lodi in California. The Leelanau Wine Trail was also named best overall wine region in Michigan in the MI by the Bottle Readers' Choice Award
