    A great and safe way to explore wineries

    Mike worked with us to make all the arrangements for the tour, including having the driver pick us up at our vacation rental, which we didn't expect. Brian, our driver, was friendly, flexible and informative. He helped us to choose the wineries (3) and distillery for our tour, reserved a table so we could eat at one of the wineries, and helped us to know what to expect at each stop. The wineries were beautiful. We enjoyed each one and tasted a wide variety of wines throughout the day. The one thing that we hadn't realized was that we would not be guided at the wineries - told about their history and their winemaking, and introduced to a sampling of their wines. Instead, it was up to us to select which wines to sample and to order our own flights. That misunderstanding is more on us than on the tour company, however. Overall, we recommend this tour and this tour company.

    Best Wine Tour Experience of our lives

    We had a group of 9 and took two cars. Our drivers, Clover and Tony were incredible. Tony was personable, fun, gave us facts about the different wineries and put up with our antics. Tony elevated our entire experience. Mike kept in contact with us before to make sure everything was perfectly planned and even made sure we were having fun during the tour. Our friend group has been on many wine tours, but this certainly was the best. Thank you so much and we WILL be back.

    NON-BUS Old Mission Sunset AFTERNOON Wine & Distillery Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Traverse City.

    How much does NON-BUS Old Mission Sunset AFTERNOON Wine & Distillery Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Traverse City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does NON-BUS Old Mission Sunset AFTERNOON Wine & Distillery Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Traverse City is not rushed.

    Is NON-BUS Old Mission Sunset AFTERNOON Wine & Distillery Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 126 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Traverse City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule NON-BUS Old Mission Sunset AFTERNOON Wine & Distillery Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is NON-BUS Old Mission Sunset AFTERNOON Wine & Distillery Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book NON-BUS Old Mission Sunset AFTERNOON Wine & Distillery Tour?

    +

    Around 44 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Traverse City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Traverse City and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does NON-BUS Old Mission Sunset AFTERNOON Wine & Distillery Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Traverse City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Traverse City?

    +

    Traverse City pairs Old Mission and Leelanau winery tours with Sleeping Bear Dunes trips, kayak and paddleboard rentals on Grand Traverse Bay and fall colour drives. On Outty we rank every Traverse City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 5-Hour Traverse City Wine Tour: 4 Wineries on Old Mission Peninsula, NON-BUS 4 Winery Traverse Wine Tour on Old Mission - ICE COLD AC, 5-Hour Traverse City Wine Tour: 3 Wineries on Leelanau Peninsula. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Traverse City?

    +

    June to October, with peak colour in early October. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Traverse City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
