Amazing experience for our family! We went on a food web educational sail with Inland Seas this past weekend and it was wonderful. Though it rained, it was a great adventure. The crew and instructions took time to teach us about sailing and the Lake Michigan food web. Highly recommend!

They have a very nice tasting room with views of the vineyard. They did require a reservation on the weekend for tasting which are done inside. We didn’t have one but they did allow us to buy a glass of wine and sit at one of the many picnic tables outside. So if you don’t have a reservation and the weather is nice you might still have a chance to try their Sparkling wines. We have been buying the Detroit for a while now and it’s been sold out in Metro Detroit so we purchased a few bottles while we visited.

First time ever to a winery or cidery. Tandem Cider is located off the main highway, like a Michigan secret. Great location for this. Staff was eager to explain any products we questioned. We enjoyed our first-ever "flight" of 6 assorted brews, loved 2 of them and immediately purchased a bottle of each. Very affordable! Pretty outdoor park-like seating with a nice view of the neighboring orchard. Will definitely return!

My friend and stopped here on a gorgeous afternoon to grab a quick snack and a beer. We were invited to grab a pod if we’d like or sit outside by one of the several log fires. The pod was soooo cool and unique, the service was pleasant and the session IPA very tasty. One of the most fun places I’ve been to for a brew.
