The complimentary tasting is a classy touch. I picked up a Riesling and a big Paw Red. We already consumed the Riesling. Will definitely stop when in the area. Highly recommend.

We stopped here on a wine tour and are sure glad we did! Of the 5 wineries we sampled it was easily the best. The flavors are fantastic and the wines are all easy to drink. The vintner gave an awesome presentation and walked us through all of the different tastings. He had a great personality and really got people excited.
They even had a home made cheese ball that was a palate cleanser in between tastings.
We ended up buying half a case and are excited to drink them all :)
(The tasting itself was free which is an added bonus)

We came in with a group of 11 ladies on a wine tour. As soon as we walked up to our private tasting, the man in charge of the tasting was obviously annoyed with us already. He began the tasting at about 100 mph. He was pouring so fast and talking so fast, none of us had a clue what we were even trying. We didn’t even have time to take a sip before he moved to the next wine. Then it gets better. For reasons unknown to me, he called me a Biotch (another term for the B word). I do believe he was trying to be funny, but it didn’t land. Then he proceeded to insult us (it was the day of the MSU/UM football game), he was wearing UM and some of us were wearing MSU. He told us we all F-d up by coming to their winery. Except he used the F word. We have it on video. Absolutely atrocious behavior. We all walked out and bought nothing. I will never go back, and would not recommend anyone go there.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. They made the experience so inviting. I bought the semi sweet riesling and it was exactly how it was described. I am new to the wine life and this solidified my liking to wine. This place is a must if you are in the area.

We have been touring wineries all week. This is by far our favorite– super helpful wine guide, free tastings and a wonderful dog!

My girlfriends and I stopped here based on the recommendation from a local. So glad we did! Every single wine we tasted was fantastic. We left with a case and a bottle of cherry wine as well as their awesome cider to make «pontoon punch». Nice place, knowledgeable and friendly staff. The one minor downside was that the actual tasting did seem to be a little rushed, although we tasted about 10 wines. It did start to get more crowded as we were leaving so that may have been why. Either way, we all left very happy and with a ton of wine. Can’t wait to return.

My husband and I went to this winery based in all of the positive reviews. It did not disappoint! We both really enjoyed all the wines we tasted. All of the whites were very good. We especially liked the Dry Riesling, Gewürztraminer, and the cherry wine. The Cherry wine is the best I’ve ever had. I said that to the man assisting g us with the wine, and he said that’s what everyone says. We ended up purchasing 3 bottles of wine for Thanksgiving dinner.
The only drawback was that we did feel rushed by the two workers we encountered. From the moment we walked in a man rushed us up to the counter and the man offering samples rushed us. We were in and out in about 15 minutes. It was busy and I would rather be rushed than completely ignored. We did love the wine, so it was easy to try and buy!

This place was recommended by another winery– a pretty good indicator that I needed to go here (the sparkling Unilocal reviews didn’t hurt either). As far as I am concerned (as a person that has been to two Leelenau area wineries) Château Fontaine is the must go spot in the area.
I wish I had got the name of the woman that led our tasting because she really made the experience and I need to give her a shoutout on the influential place that is my Unilocal page. She had so much knowledge on the area and wines, and her passion for them showed. We tasted a good 8 or 9 wines, along with a cheese plate, and dark chocolate. Went home with the Big Paw Red, Dry Rose, and Pinot Gris.
I cannot recommend this place enough — whether you are a wine newbie, or a connoisseur, I am already looking forward to coming back next season and bringing my family!

I’ve never felt compelled to write a review for a winery. until now. This place not only has the best wine, but the staff welcomed us with warmth and their knowledge of all things wine. Complimentary tasting helped too. The cherry wine was out of this world. Definitely a must when touring wineries in the area.

First of all, we walked out of here with 18 bottles of wine. By far the best wine in the area.
Came here for «Small Plates» shout out to «9 bean rows» who provided the meal, which was phenomenal. We plan to have lunch tomorrow at their restaurant.
Upon walking into their shop, we were welcomed with a generous glass of wine from the owner who talked with us about their business history and about their plan for our meal for the evening. It was nice to hear from someone who knows what they’re talking about at a winery! I always get a new employee at a wine tasting.
I highly recommend this hot spot for a legitimate wine tasting experience for all ages. They have a neighboring atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

This was my favorite tasting that we went to during our Leelandau Pennisula wine tour. Remarkably the tasting is free and it not just a couple of their wines they present to you to try. Initially the list was ten wines but the staff member paid attention to what we liked and brought out additional wines that she thought we might like as well. She gave an excellent presentation that was a good learning experience as I came from the wine yard with an increased knowledge. Towards the end we were given crackers a cheese ball. For the dessert cherry wine she pulled out dark chocolate kisses to go with the wine.
This is a smaller winery than some of the others but they had a small side porch to sit outside. It was not very busy when we were here but I can see how it would get crowded.

This is THE ultimate tasting experience in Traverse City.
My husband and I have been up to TC numerous times in the last several years, and we’ve watched the area explode with business and new wineries. It’s almost TOO busy up there to really enjoy it in the spring/summer. There are too many, what we call, «McTastings» — the places where 21 year-olds serve you tastings with no more information other than, «this is cab/franc.»
Fontaine will let you taste all their wines. They’ll explain every flavor profile, every nuance, every intention of why this wine tastes the way it does and you’ll understand that they take their craft very seriously. It’s incredible.
Their wines have won local and national awards and I HIGHLY recommend.
Also, they have a dog on-site — a beautiful English Setter. Go there.

If you like tasting wine, you MUST go here. My wife and I went with my mom & we loved it – had a great time and were very impressed with the variety of wines as well as friendliness and knowledge of our hostess.

This is one of my favorite wineries to visit in Michigan. The tastings are free and they have a great variety. I have also always had great people doing the tasting. They really know their stuff and are very friendly. One that I will keep going back to again and again!

One of our favorite wineries in Leelanau. The folks at Château Fontaine will help you taste your face off. The complimentary tasting here seems endless. My favorite part is when you’re offered a Hershey kiss to enjoy with the cherry wine, along with instructions on how to detect flavor differences as you eat and sip. The cheese ball is also a hit with people, though I’ve tended to shy away from it (communal cheese, you know?).
The wines here are very affordable, with many costing under $ 15 per bottle. We like the Big Paw Red as an easy-drinking table wine. Château Fontaine also has one of my favorite cherry wines, although it is very sweet. I like that its flavor is so true to that prototypical ripe cherry.
If you’re doing a wine tour, note that Château Fontaine’s hours are a little more limited than most wineries’, so make sure you plan your timing accordingly.

This was the first stop on our Michigan wine tour and certainly the most charming. The owner, Dan Matthies, was very friendly and talked us through each wine. His lovable pup darted in and out of the door, greeting visitors with his wet nose and bloodshot eyes.
I really liked the Woodland Red but ended up buying the Big Paw Red, which was named for Dan’s previous pup. Yes, there’s a dog on the bottle and I thought it was cute but it’s a really good wine too!
The Big Paw Red is a quaffable, easy drinking wine. This is the perfect red to sip on while sitting on your porch or deck. I liked it so much that I asked a friend who was up there this past weekend to pick up another bottle for me.
When we were leaving, Dan suggested we take a ride up to the vineyard to check out the gorgeous view. That was a nice touch and we certainly appreciated it.
