After days of swimming and building sand castles, we wanted to do something for the grown ups. So we booked a tour with Traverse City Wine and Beer Tours. Having a driver was fun and safe. We strapped in our own car seats and let them plan our itinerary. They got us some awesome tables and suggested the perfect wineries. Our driver had great recommendations for food and activities in the area. He was also very knowledgeable about the wine and beer scene in Traverse City. We had a great time on our tour without worrying about a designated driver. It’s definitely the way to go!

Family Friendly Wineries in Traverse City, Michigan: Bonobo

Bonobo was such a hit with the kids (and the adults, of course). They danced and danced to the live music and took turns on their beautiful swing. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and the drinks and food were both great. (Note – many of the wineries don’t serve food, but this one does!)
