Chateau Chantal Winery and B&B Reviews

A must visit when wine tasting on old mission peninsula.

I absolutely loved the view from the patio. They have a large tasting room that can easily handle a lot of traffic or a large group. I highly recommend getting a caddy flight and enjoying it outside.

Beautiful scenery/view of the water on both east and west of Old Mission peninsula! Wine tasting was about $7 for 6 types of wine each with tiny sips or $10 for 3 glasses of wine. Obviously went with the $10 choice. Interesting wine. They apparently provided wine for the White House State Dinner hosted by Obama for Justin Trudeau.
Well worth the visit for wine and scenery.

Gorgeous scenery and view outside. Affordable wine tasting and pretty delicious wine. Spring and fall visits were both amazing. Loved the fall, as the colors were breathtaking.

Great serving staff. Beautiful greetings and view from the patio. Worth checking out

Absolutely beautiful views from the tasting room, very knowledgeable staff and great tasting wine.

We stopped in to try some wines. Had a great time, really enjoyed lots of their wines, and the view is amazing.

The best views around! This is a must see place on Mission Peninsula. The 360 views of the water is hard to compete with any other winery in town. They also have an inn if you're looking for a fun place to stay outside of town.

It was pretty, the wine was good, the views and atmosphere were great.

Amazing land and hospitality. Loved the rooms too. Recommended for a relaxing time.

Beautiful location, definitely a must see. Can get crowded fast.

Top notch. Be sure to ask for bill. Best guide ever. Very knowledgeable about wine , but very casual in his delivery. I will return every year. Thank you.

My husband and I visited a few wineries and this was our favorite. The view from the balcony was beautiful. This was a great place to enjoy the amazing wine, sit back, and enjoy a peaceful evening.

We visited Chateau Chantal on Friday, September 18th with a reservation. The views are fantastic, with water views from both sides of the winery! We loved the large patio and music. This is a good winery to visit! Of the wines we tasted, we both liked the Trio, and one of us liked the Malbec. We bought the Trio to take home. There are a lot of visitors here, more than at other wineries. **A reservation doesn t get you a table, but it gets you in the door much quicker. You have to then go find a table on the patio, which was fairly easy.** To the management: (1) the only friendly employee we encountered was the kind lady at the bar who recommended which wines to taste, and poured them for us. She was very nice. (2) the restrooms need more attention to cleaning.

Very beautiful winery. Wish I could have tasted the wine. The line was so long with 10 people in front of us.. I waited about 20 minutes and things were not moving along at all. Maybe next time. Maybe not. This was on a Monday BTW. Ended up at Bowers harbor vineyard a few miles down the road. Good service.. Good wine and plenty of space to sit and relax.

This is a must every time we are in traverse city! My favorite wine is the nice white wine. The late harvest Riesling was very good too! We also enjoyed the naughty apple cider! Go check this place out, you won t be disappointed!

We have stayed there twice and it is amazing. Both times were during the winter and it's beautiful there during that time. The people, lodging and wine are all great. We can't wait to come back.

What a nice place overlooking both bays. Sampled wine and enjoyed a little live music.

Great service, great wine, and beautiful scenery. Large selection compared to other winery's in the area.

Pre COVID, this was a great place to visit. Post COVID, wine tasting was a horrible experience. The only reason I 3 stars instead of 2 is because my wife and I've been going here for 20 years, and until now it's always been a 5. We were checked in like we had Ebola then routed through the winery by the arrows on the floor like cattle in chutes. Not one of the staff made us feel welcome let alone appreciated. The server was in a plastic tent and had no interest in talking to anyone. Maybe he new nothing about wine. The whole experience was as impersonal as could be. We had just come from Left Foot Charlies in TC which was an awesome experience. Besides the masks, you almost forgot about the Pandemic at LFC! The only thing CC had going for it was the view from their patio which is magnificent. That being said, the view wasn't worth the trip. My suggestion would be if they are that concerned about COVID, they just close the doors until their fear subsides.

Decent wine, beautiful views, quite busy. Service leaves a little bit to be desired.

Beautiful winery and grounds. Nice tasting room. Lovely deck with gorgeous views. Doesn't hurt that you can see both East and West Bay from this winery. Why not sip some great local wines with this as a back drop?!

Showed up right before closing. Awesome staff got us in and served some amazing wines and ciders! Will visit over and over. Would love to stay in the B&B someday.

Completely over hyped. View is the best in peninsula but wine and service is not even close.

Some great views and excellent wine. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Their Late Harvest Riesling and Chardonnay are great!

Staff was helpful, but not very knowledgeable of the wines.

Went for wine tasting. Pleasant service, good and, beautiful view!

Celebrating our 25th anniversary and the accommodations were more than one could ask for. The staff was amazing and helpful. A toast to you Chateau for making our stay the most memorable ever experienced in northern michigan.

1 star for the view. Required to have a reservation, which essentially only gets you a "spot in line", nothing more. The interior feels very comercial, not on par with their property. Wines were overly simplistic, bland, and did not leave any impressions on us.

Beautiful winery, great location but the wine wasn't a favorite of mine.

Probably the most affordable tasting on the point and the wine is great! The bottles are a few dollars less than the other wineries across the board and they are really tasty! Highly recommend a visit

Beautiful! I did the wine tasting and Ben was my server. He has 30+ years of experience in the wine industry. Very nice and answered all of my questions. Hope to go back again soon!

This is a nice winery with a beautiful facility. Definitely worth checking out!

Very crowded the day we went, but it was absolutely beautiful!

Beautiful view! One of my favorite places in the peninsula.

My husband and I visited this winery/bed and breakfast to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We were not disappointed! The location was peaceful with beautiful views of the lake and vineyards on a high hill. We enjoyed the tastings and free glass of wine on the beautiful patio. The next morning we had a lovely breakfast prepared by a chef for the small group of bed and breakfast guests. After breakfast we went on a tour of the vineyard and wine making facility. It was so interesting to have the entire process of growing grapes for various wines explained. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable and the room decor was beautiful. We look forward to returning in the future!

Come here for the view. It is beautiful. Service is ok. Wine is ok. All very light. Sweet tasting, dry tasting, and a reserve tasting. You can make your own as well!

It was a beautiful place. The gentlemen who gave us our tour were very pleasing and friendly. It is a little ways out, but the drive and the view is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend to anyone who loves wine.

Super personable staff that really made the experience

Great place to sit and enjoy wine. Spectacular view and a huge selection of wines to imbibe.

Honesty I wasn't impressed. It's not a bad place by any means. Its had become very commercialized in the past years.

The view is absolutely breathtaking and the ciders were delicious.

I always visit here when coming to traverse city. Has a very nice view out back. The tasting area is kind of a communal bar.

Can't beat it when enjoying a flight of wines at the patio with 360 degree of the bay view

The views at this winery were spectacular! Even driving up to the building was so incredibly beautiful. The staff at the winery was friendly and so helpful. Walking out onto the huge patio to enjoy some wine was such a wonderful experience. We loved it here!

Good wine. Staff nice but could gave been more attentive

Loved it. Booked a wine tasting on their site. Staff was very friendly and the place was gorgeous. Try the Pinot Blanc!

This is my most favoritewineryin the T.C. area..
Fantastic views from the patio.

My daughter and I stayed at this beautiful bed and breakfast for one night. Our jaws dropped as we drove up the hill to this absolutely gorgeous winery. The view is amazing! We stayed in the Cassett room. It was perfect with a very comfortable bed and large, clean tile shower. We received an unexpected complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival which we drank while watching the sun go down. The vegetarian breakfast that we requested was delicious. The location was great. I highly recommend this outstanding bed and breakfast.

I did not stay at the hotel but visited for wine tasting. Wine was okay, nothing stood out to me on their wines. The best wine was they had was the ice wine. Wines were a bit over priced for the quality I felt, but every palette is different! It is wort tastings. The service was okay, personality of the bar staff was somewhat dull.

Excellent place with excellent views. I would highly recommend. The service was great too! Friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful scenery and delicious wine. Definitely worth the drive!

This is a perfect place for a romantic wedding featuring classic rooms and amazing vistas.

My wife and I have stayed here at the bed and breakfast a couple of times and it is everything and more
We all know that the wine is great.
But the staff is so friendly and they make us feel at home.
Each room is unique with a great decor.
The breakfast is awesome and we like how the chef comes out and talks to everyone before we eat.
The room comes with some free tastings.
The deck is huge with a great view.
There are a lot of awesome wineries in the area and this one just might be right at the top.

Best cider I have ever had, and outdoor area is awesome

It was a great experience. Lovely scenery, great stuff and it's somewhere fun to go!

Wines were good, as far as I can tell. The pours we're ridiculously tiny - like barely a spits' worth. Never had a tasting where the pourer made such an effort to pour such a tiny amount. Felt like a rip off.

The view is the only reason to check this place out. Unfortunately I received terrible service . The guy who poured wine (I say poured wine because that s literally all he did) for us was extremely unhelpful, didn t bother to tell us anything about the wine - he just poured what we asked for and walked away. Everyone else around us seemed to be getting an entirely different experience. The employee seemed like he hated life and his job. Unfortunately first impressions make a lasting one - I do not wish to return & will be sharing my experience with others.

Beautiful place and beautiful views! The wine was so tasty, and they had good bulk deals for buying bottles. I found it to be very nice and affordable. Will definitely return!

We went there for a wine tasting, and it was glorious. Very good!

Very crowded and busy. Tasting area should be larger to accommodate more guests. Nice wine selection.

I dont know why we keep expecting a different experience we come here, but the service is always horrible.

Had a lovely time here and Alex took really great care of us at the wine tasting bar. I really enjoyed my cider and got to keep the glass!

Enjoyed the tasting room - great atmosphere & service. Fantastic deck off the tasting room to enjoy a glass with nice views of the peninsula. Especially enjoyed the cabernet franc.

Beautiful location, service was a little slow, but the wine is tasty. I enjoyed touring the basement winery and distillery. I think the prices are too high, but I'm not their target demographic.

The wine is good and the atmosphere is nice. Wone prices are good.

Great staff, knowledgeable about wines, made wine tasting fun
