Over the last 8+ years of driving all sorts of clients around Traverse City, they always love Chateau Chantal and especially the "Wine Sheriff", Bill. I see first hand the impatient nature of most of your visitors...sadly they blame your staff for their own deficiencies. As Traverse City continues to receive national attention, I hope people visit for the chance... More

We get up to the Traverse City area about 3-4 times a year. The area is beautiful in every season. For the past 10 years we have never failed to visit our favorite place in northern Michigan, the Old Mission Peninsula and include our favorite winery, Chateau Chantal, in every visit. It is a magical experience to view the East... More

The tasting room has a bit of a corporate/fake feel to the whole thing. Quite a contrast to the gorgeous view outside. There was only one other couple at the tasting bar when we arrived, but we felt like the server didn't really have any time to talk about the wine (and it didn't seem like she knew much about...

A recent trip to the wine tasting room at Chateau Chantal was an experience not to forget. Bill, who we later found out was the tasting room manager, provided the most bizzare experience I have ever had wine tasting. He was extremely intense from the beginning. My friend and I asked a couple of questions about the wine tasting list,... More

Great location with spectacular views from the tasting room! Excellent locally produced wines, and superb waitstaff in the tasting room...the wines are reasonably priced, and overall, a great tasting experience!!!

This high priced winery has a great view, but the customer service provided by those that talk with you about their wines is almost non-existent...they simply only care about pouring wines and getting you out of there....sad, very sad....we will not go back

This winery should not be missed, from the tasting room you can see the water on booths sides of the peninsula. The wine was good and we enjoyed a full glass with a cheese place in a cozy seating area.

My sister and I were looking for something to do while we were in the area and ended up taking the drive on to the Old Mission Lighthouse. We stopped a couple different wineries, but this was by far my favorite. It is so beautiful and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The views from the winery are spectacular.... More

This was one winery I could have bypassed on our tour. We walked into a crowded tasting room and found a spot at the bar. Immediately you can tell the tasting crowd was not a wine educated crowd as well as the inexperienced staff. We waited close to ten minutes to have anyone come to our attention. Once we selected...
