My friends from Grand Rapids came up to Traverse City to visit and do some wine tastings this past weekend. Although Chateau Chantal was not originally on our list of wineries to visit, we are all very glad we did! The staff present were very welcoming and friendly. We each tasted 6 different wines for $3, which was very budget friendly and incredibly worth it!!!! The friendly lady that served each of our pours was personable, kind, and knowledgeable of each of the wines and offered her personal experiences and favourites. All of us went away with a bottle of our new found favourites!!! (the Naughty Cider was mine, although it was a very hard choice between that and two others!!) When we went to pick up our bottles, the young man fetching the bottles was also very personable and when I offered to sans the paper bag, he kindly explained why it was necessary. I appreciate an honest an answer. The scenery was beautiful... Hard to comprehend this is where I live!!!! We all left quite satisfied and definitely will return!
