Chateau Chantal Winery and B&B Review

This was it second visit to Chateau Chantal and it won't be our last. The wine is good and the atmosphere is amazing.

Great views on the patio, very large wine selection.

Overrated! Poor and rude service especially from the hostess and average wine. Much better wineries on Old Mission that treat you better too

Alex behind the bar made the best suggestions to my cousin and I. Be sure to say Hi to her and tip her well as she is awesome!

Amazing views. Very friendly staff and of course, delicious wine.

Great wine, great ambiance, decent tour. I would visit again.

This was a nice wine-tasting spot, liked the option of 3 larger pours. Beautiful deck with amazing views.

Gorgeous setting. Very much like a French chateau in France. Decent wine.

One of the most memorable places in this area. There is a beautiful panoramic view on top. They also have reasonable prices and a free wine glass with each tasting. Nice staff. Will definitely visit again!

My husband and I went to their cellar tour and dinner....it was an awesome night!!! Bill was our host and he was amazing!!!! He made the night and had so much great knowledge to share, not only about his product, but lots of information on enjoying wine and drinking what you like!!! The tasting room was elegant and the wines were pretty darn good!!!! If you're in town for one of their dinners you should definitely try and make it!!! You won't be disapointed!!!

The wine selection was diverse and the wait moved fast. Very fun atmosphere.

The views at the winery are awesome. The line is always long to go to the tasting bar but the wine is good.

It was stunning. We had a wine tour and tasting, and our tour guide was helpful, friendly, and informative. I'm not much of a wine person, but all of our samples were lovely, even the ones that aren't quite to my taste. I would definitely go there again.

The location is beautiful, can see the water on both sides of the peninsula. Our room was much better in person than what the pictures present online. Everyone who worked there was nice and accommodating. Would definitely go back.

Wine was great, wish we could have enjoyed a glass on the patio but it was raining :/

Great wine tasting. Server was knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was refined yet casual and the views were spectacular!

Andrew was very knowledgeable and helpful during our tasting!

Absolutely the best b&b hands down. Excellent rooms, and the wine is superb. The staff is active in your stay, the owner as well. They are not only knowledgable about their own winery and wines, but the surrounding area of traverse city openly reccomending activities to make your stay the most full and fun as they can make it. I cannot wait for another stay with Chateau Chantal.

AMAZING. What an atmosphere as you could not ask for anything more. Beautiful views, excellent staff, and wines. Thank you for the great experience. By far one of the best wineries in the area. This is a must visit winery!

The tour was bland and boring, the wine tasting pours were tiny. I also touched every fermenting tank, I say ha to your rules!

We tasted on a Wednesday and it still felt like a cattle call....if you have tasted at any other winery, then you know these are extremely inferior with
small minute pours. Great views but it ends there! You have better choices!!!!

Beautiful view from the patio, my wife and I really enjoyed trying the different wines.

Great winery. Beautiful views of the East Bay and West Bay. In the summer, they have jazz at sunset on Thursday evenings. Plenty of great tasting wines and nice atmosphere. There is a bread and breakfast located nearby on the property. You can watch the sunrise and sunset depending on the which way you look.

Very pleasant staff, good range of wines and options for sampling. The balcony and seating coupled with the view were wonderful. Classy little touches like a card to raise issues with bathrooms to the staff by simply handing it over to a staff member - couldn't fault the place.

Very nice views. Wine was good as well. Fast service.

Beautiful views and great service! I was here with my bachelorette party and we had a great time out on the deck with our flights of wine.

Fantastic location on Old Mission Peninsula, overlooking both sides of the bay. Wonderful wine in an even more beautiful setting. Highly recommend checking them out.

We went to Chateau Chantal for a wine tasting. They were quite busy but the line flowed really well and we didn't have to wait too long. Bill, who helped us was a lot of fun and had really great energy.

We love this winery! If you like sweet wines this is your place to go too! The bubbly Cherry wine is our all time favorite! The view is amazing too in all seasons!

This is my wife's favorite winery. Amazing wine and a spectacular view.

This place is like the Taj Mahal of the wineries in the Traverse City area. Stunning views all around and great tasting wines and brandies. They also have a beautiful patio area so you can absorb the scenery.

A lovely winery with a good selection. Dry to sweet and cider as well.

I enjoyed the experience! I went with some friends to experience the 7-course wine dinner. Not only was the food really good, but the sommelier knew everything about the wine we were served and why it was paired with the food. We also got a small cellar tour, which was cool. I highly recommend this for visitors if you've got it in the budget!

I stopped in for a tasting with some friends. When one of my friends received less than a tablespoon for a tasting and complained, the server gave her a second tablespoon pour and unappolgetically informed her she had received two pours. I will never go back to Chateau Chantal nor will I purchase any of their wine. We visited other regional wineries and were treated as welcomed guests.

Have visited for years as views are beautiful. Wine is fair. Service has fallen off. Most recent visit in early October was with a group of six and staff was extremely snarky. Wine tasting is supposed to be social and fun. This was not!

Inexpensive and an amazing view! Must go here if you're in the area!

Wine was fantastic. The Bubbly Cherry was my favorite, had to restrain myself from taking more than just one bottle home.

Had a great time at the 2018 Mac & Cheese Festival.

The view is absolutely breath taking and the ice wine is divine. A must visit in Traverse City.

Despite these crazy times right now we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Chateau Chantal! The service and hospitality was wonderful! I felt like it was my home away from home! Wonderful views from both patios, sunsets did not disappoint! We also enjoyed the wine dinner as well, the wine specialist Will was phenomenal! We will be back next year! Thank you!

Classy, classy, classy!!! Bob the owner is not only hard working but a good person. During our stay at his amazing B&B, there was a slight inconvenience and Bob handled it with such Grace. God Bless you Bob!! I would highly recommend Chateau Chantal to anyone looking to have an amazing experience with breathtaking views.

Friendly customer service, great nice, beautiful building and grounds

Beautiful view, amazing drinks. Great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back.

Beautiful spot. We always love to stop there. The wine isn't our favorite but the view is breathtaking.

I went for wine tasting. Very friendly and patient staff. Lovely scenery too

Excellent place with a great selection of wines and ciders. It has an incredible view from the patio! I would definitely want to stay there next time!

I was there for a wine tasting. The view was amazing, but I thought that there was a lot better wine out there. Nothing really stood out to me except the bubbly cherry wine, which I did buy a bottle of. That was a great wine.

Beautiful scenery and nice place all-around with good selection of wines.

Amazing views, amazing breakfast, free tastings, amazing selection of wines at reasonable prices. I would highly recommend this Inn to anyone who loves wine.

Beautiful location, great patio, and excellent wine

We went there for wine tasting. The view and wine were awesome!! wish they had better cheese to go with it though.

Great location and really nice people. I'd like to see the pattio in the summer

Didn't stay day trip with my girlfriend had so much fun so worth it .amazing place!!!!

This has always been our favorite winery. We have been coming here for years. On Monday, June 8th, we were very disappointed with our experience. Two small pours of wine (5 oz) plus a service fee was $25.20. To purchase a bottle of Chardonnay, which is what we were drinking, is $15. We were not allowed to do that. I tried to ask the gentleman serving us some questions and he was very reluctant to answer them. He mumbled something and brushed us off. Although we love the wine probably will go somewhere else next time. I don t mind spending $25.20 on two glasses of wine but please give me a bigger pour.

Went for wine tasting. Workers were very helpful and the prices were very reasonable. Would recommend to anyone vacationing in the area.

Had a tour and tasting. Enjoyed it very much and ended up buying a few bottles.

Steven was amazing! Loved the Cherry Brandy. Sooo yummy. Beautiful view. Worth the trip.

Chateau Chantal had lovely options for wine. The tasting experience was great with interactive and knowledgeable bartenders. The view was also incredible. Highly recommend!

Tasting experience was ok. The guy was informative but condescending. Had my favorite selection of wine, not a great experience though.

Enjoyed the tasting room and the views. The plan is to visit again soon.

Decent experience, but did not meet expectations.

Wife and I went wine tasting for the day with another couple. We visited ten vineyards total during our weekend stay in the area. We are amateur wine tasters in every sense.

THE GOOD:
Beautiful vineyard driveway. Awesome 360 views of rolling vineyards. Large patio deck.

THE BAD:
Service wasn't exceptional. The wine was average - we ordered both a dry and a sweet flight. We did not finish the flights, it wasn't good enough to want to finish it.

The place felt very commercialized in general.

Women's bathroom smelled like an animal died and was rotting in them.

The staff was very helpful. Loved the way they could suggest something and give you flavor profiles. Loved the atmasphere

The staff was friendly and the wine was fantastic! I recommend the "meritage"

Went for drinks. Good selection. Great view of the vineyard.

Absolutely gorgeous with delicious wine.. Enjoyed a beautiful sunset and live jazz on Thursday.

Won a VIP tour at a charity auction. Our guide, Bill, was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Excellent views, great wine, and amazing service.
