This beautiful estate is a must see during your wine tour through Old Mission Peninsula. The tasting room has recently been renovated and is just perfect. The views from the estate are even more great. The tasting includes 5 wines for $5. The merlot is spectacular; the best red I tried from Old Mission area. The meat and cheese plates... More

One of our favorite stops of the wineries in Old Mission. A great variety to taste and buy from. As a dry red wine drinker I was impressed with many of their white wine varieties as I purchased more white than red. Definitely make this one of your stops.

There are a ton of different winery around the area but this one is the best by far. Erik the wine presenter was great! You pay 5$ to try 5 wines and you get to keep the wine glass. I would recommend this place to everyone. Plus, it's absolutely beautiful.

Visited Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery during August, 2012 with 12 members of my family reunion. This winery was one the our top highlights of our week long reunion in the Traverse City area. We went on a warm, sunny summer day and were warmly greeted by Patrick Brys (son of the owner), who suggested we take a private tour... More

The wife and I stopped in for some tasting. Not knowing much about wine tasting, the hostess took time to explain the proper way to taste. They offer a wine club that refunds the tasting fee gives 15% off purchase. Wine prices seemed reasonable. Don't skip this one on your trip to Mission Point!

We were lucky enough to have the very knowledgeable and hospitable Linda offer us our tasting last Sunday when we were touring the snowy and cold Peninsula with beautiful lake and rolling hill views. We're pretty set in our wine ways and were so happily educated and guided into the world of great Michigan wine. Never expected to find it... More

Beautiful setting, one of the nicest in the area. Friendly employees, very helpful. Interesting wines, several blended types that are not only unique, but delicious. A little pricey, but worth it.

Cheese/crackers in a wrapper for $5 hardly worth it. Didn't feel valued at all as customers. Won't go back.

Just off the main road. Beautiful tasting room and location. They charge 5 for their tasting but you get a glass. Wines are little different than most of the other wineries. I was disappointed because they gave you such a small amount I really had trouble getting a good idea about the wine.
