    Must-do activity while in Traverse City. Great for any occasion or night out with the girls.

    This is a must-do activity if you're traveling to Traverse City. I added this Sunset Wine Tour to my Bachelorette itinerary and the girls loved it. We all dressed up in our best outfits, drank wine while watching the sun set over the vineyards, and listened to our favorite music on the Shuttle bus. We grabbed dinner downtown at 3PM to give us enough time to arrive at the pick-up area just a few minutes before our scheduled trip. Our driver was very nice and took great photos of our group!

    Private Wine Tour

    Mark was absolutely fantastic! We booked the Magic Shuttle Bus for a private wine tour for a bachelorette party, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mark was upbeat, friendly, and professional, with great communication throughout the day. He even took pictures for us, made sure we had water, and helped make the whole day so much more fun and memorable! We highly recommend Magic Shuttle Bus and especially Mark for your next event or wine tour! 🍷🚌💕

    Trip was great but final stop was underwhelming and service was lacking

    Magic Bus = Best tour company in TC

    We’ve booked with Magic Shuttle Bus for the last 5 years and Andy has been our driver for the past 2 years. This company is by far the best company in TC for large groups that like to have a good time. We are typically a group of 20+ and they go above and beyond to accommodate our group. Andy is incredible and so great at wrangling our wild group which is not easy 🤪 I highly recommend booking with them - all of their staff is top notch and great to work with!

    Andy is a great driver for Magic Shuttle Bus.

    Andy is a great driver and guide with Magic Shuttle. Every year for Memorial Day we do a big tour, and Andy’s handling of logistics and time management help us have a great time! We will always consider Magic Shuttle Bus first for our cruises.

    Private Traverse City Winery or Brewery Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Traverse City Winery or Brewery Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $700 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 Private Traverse City Winery or Brewery 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 Private Traverse City Winery or Brewery Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Traverse City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Traverse City Winery or Brewery Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Private Traverse City Winery or Brewery 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 Private Traverse City Winery or Brewery Tour?

    +

    Around 13 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 Private Traverse City Winery or Brewery 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.
