Michigan By The Bottle Tasting Room

Great place to taste some Michigan wines, visit with friends, and enjoy an afternoon or evening. Always friendly and welcoming

Sat for 20 – 25 min before being greeted. Then sat for 20 – 25 more minutes before the server came back. It’s busy but there’s no excuse for making customers wait that long. We would have left but we came to see our friend who was performing the live music. 2 ladies who came in about 40 min after us were greeted and served before we even had our ordered taken.

Such a great place that only serves wines from Michigan. They also do cool events like wine and yoga, book club and wine… Pretty much any «wine and…» Event you can think of they have it. The only thing that would make it better is a more extensive food menu. But it’s a hidden gem that I love to come too to chill and unwind after a long day.

I made a reservation here for a Friday night. Since I had more than10 people, I had to pay a $ 50 booking fee. All of my guests had to get the $ 25 flight which I felt was pricey. We received 1 small tray of cheese and chocolates for 12 people, and 5 tasting tokens each. It was totally dead so I didn’t even need to make a reservation. I really wanted to like this place because I love Sandhill Crane winery. The wine was very good and there was lots to choose from, but it seems like they discourage large groups with those high prices.

I couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to find this place to take my aunt. Jennifer, with the amazing hair, was friendly, passionate, and very knowledgeable yet eager to hear about new places and types of wines. The whole business focuses on Michigan products — chocolates, cheeses, wines, etc. Their menu has a couple options for flights as well as a well organized and descriptive list of wines.

Great place to get to try as many different Michigan wines as you can take. They prices are super affordable. They have a wonderful cheese platter that is all Michigan made. The service is great as well fast and friendly. I love that they sell all kinds of wine from Michigan as well as gift sets.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING AND PERFECT FOR DATE NIGHT! We were searching around on Unilocal for «wine bars» and this gem was not in the initial top ten (probably because it’s new) but it should be! It’s exactly what we wanted and the price was right. Going here is like going to a winery except you have access to a bunch of Michigan made wines to get flights for. Move over whole glass, who doesn’t love the variety? Plus the flights come with «flight bites» to enjoy with your wine — all local, all delish. All the packages are between $ 15 — $ 25 a person depending on the time of day you come in (drinking before 6pm gets you a discount!), which is totally reasonable for what you get.
We did a Full Flight (comes with five wines and bites) of whites, and a Tour (comes with five wines, bites, a dessert wine and a truffle). We got to try 11 different wines in all and it was really fun. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. We will define toy be returning for another date night, and potentially for one of their special nights of comedy, dinner, books, etc.
Check it out!

This place is an absolute gem. All Michigan wines for tasting, with cheese and crackers and chocolate bites too. I can’t believe that it took our Californian sister-​in-​law to discover this place. Wines are available for purchase by the bottle and the selection is so expansive that there is bound to be something you like. Additionally, they have social events like a book club and even Sip and Stitch nights, as well as food pairings with local restaurants. I’ll be back with my knitting and couldn’t be happier to support local businesses.

Great wine, great selection, wonderful service. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon when they first open, we had the place to ourselves. Our bartender was very friendly, knowledgeable and explained our options. We shared a nice wine flight and some flight bites (cheese and chocolate). Definitely will be stopping in again.

It’s not too often that you can experience the wineries of Michigan during the week and so close to home! Michigan By The Bottle is just that, it’s a tasting room for some of Michigan’s best wineries, without the long drive! You can taste a wide variety of whites, reds, and sparkling wines.

In fact, the owners Courtney & her husband Shannon, are regularly greeting and serving customers at their Royal Oak and Shelby Township locations.
There are also special events that include pairings with some of Michigan’s finest establishments, such as Love & Buttercream, Zingerman’s, and The Rattlesnake Club, just to name a few.
Stop by for a tasting or to pick up one of your favorite wines. It won’t be your last visit!

What a delightful place. This was my first time there and we ordered «the tour» this included, 5 flights of Michigan wine, Michigan cheese, chocolate, and nuts. All for under 20 dollars. We went to see a friend who was displaying art there. What a nice surprise. The staff was very informative and very nice. I will be back. Great place for a first date.

An absolute gem for Royal Oak to discover. The owners Shannon and Cort have done a fantastic job introducing the lower Detroit area a sample of all the wonderful parts of Michigan wine.
You have to come out and give this place a try!!! You won’t be disappointed with the brand new location. It’s fantastic!
Come and get yourself some Michigan wine, and support a great business!!!
