The Henderson Castle is a beautiful location just ...

The Henderson Castle is a beautiful location just off of downtown Kalamazoo, MI. It is situated on a hill with wonderful views of their vineyard and garden. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we stayed in a different themed room each night. The Vineyard View room, the French room and the Tibetan room. Each room had it's own theme with unique furniture. The dining room and wine tasting room were exquisite. We had a delicious dinner in their famous restaurant where we were the only two eating that evening. Dinner was amazing, I've never learned more about steak in my entire life but it was cool to learn the differences in aging the meat.

Of course the staff was super friendly and extremely accommodating to all of our needs. We sampled the wines at the tasting room and were delighted at the variety and flavor. They have the only wine cave in Michigan to keep the bottles at the correct constant temperature for proper maturation and formation.

The lobby of the castle is amazing with an open staircase. Stained glass windows all around with access to a rooftop observation deck and hot tub.

All in all it was a short stay but we would definitely go back to try out the other rooms, taste some more wine and eat some delicious cuisine in the dining room.
