Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation to visit the tasting room?
Walk-ins are welcome, but calling ahead is smart if you're coming with a group of four or more. Weekends tend to get busy, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings when downtown Royal Oak is lively.
Are all the wines here made in Michigan?
Yes, the focus is exclusively on Michigan-produced wines, which is what makes this place unique compared to a standard wine bar. You'll find bottles from well-known producers and smaller boutique wineries across the state.
Can I host a private event at the tasting room?
Private bookings are available for groups looking to celebrate birthdays, engagement parties, or team events. Contact them directly at (248) 850-7175 to discuss capacity and available dates.
What's the price range for a tasting flight?
Flight pricing varies depending on what's currently being poured, so it's best to check with staff when you arrive or call ahead. Most guests find the value solid given the guided experience and the quality of wines included.
Is Michigan wine actually good? I've only heard of California wines.
Michigan's wine regions, especially around Traverse City and the Leelanau Peninsula, produce excellent cool-climate varietals like Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc. The state has been earning national recognition, and a guided tasting is the fastest way to become a believer.
Can I buy bottles to take home?
Retail bottle sales are a big part of what the tasting room offers. If you fall in love with something during your flight, you can grab a bottle, a case, or ask staff which other labels from the same producer are worth trying.
