Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful staff and most importantly excellent wine and cider!

The wine was excellent the service was terrible. Better off just buying bottles and taking them home. Evidently if you don’t look a certain way the staff ignore you. Would have loved to have a couple glasses after a tasting but getting the server over was impossible. When we asked for the check he helped three other patrons first.

We return every year for relaxing tastings and possible new wines. Sarah was friendly and full of tips on the Traverse City scene for food and beverage. So appreciate the personal service and friendly smile!!

Cinnamon Girl is the best cider I’ve ever had…bought a growler. Must drink within 2 weeks. I think I’ll be fine with that.
Brittany Boswell
Great drink options. Small snacks available. Ciders, wine, and mixed drinks available. Lavender drink is very carbonated and strong. Cinnamon girl is a favorite always though.

My finance and I went to left foot Charley twice during our weekend stay to traverse city. It has become a tradition to stop there every time we’re in town. I’m already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend the charcuterie plate, cinnamon girl and tepache.

Great little winery off the beaten path. Actually found this place by accident looking for the Farmers market, glad we did though. Wines and cider are a little on the dryer side but very tasty. The cinnamon girl cider was delicious, we actually bought a few to take with us. The staff were all so friendly and it has a very welcoming vibe.

We did the barrel room tour and it was PHENOMENAL! Kristy and Connie are so passionate and are really informative, plus all the wine is delicious! Would HIGHLY recommend!

I highly recommend making a stop at Left Foot Charley. I am not much of a wine drinker, I was joining a group of people who are. The standout for our group was the Kerner.I have to give a shout-out to our server/guide Max. He was excellent with his recommendations and descriptions. We even talked about Whiskey and other spirits for a while and I enjoyed every minute of it. If I am ever back in TC, I will go again!

It is located in a great part of town with really cool buildings. The winery offers outdoor and indoor seating which is great on a warm day. Many good wines and wine flights are offered. I would recommend the local red wine and the Pinot blank is a very interesting take on two classics. They has live music for a great ambiance!
Loved all the wines in my flight- especially the sparkling creamant!!! Great guitarist/vocalist outdoors and friendly staff- we will definitely be back and recommend you come here! Family friendly as well- many kids around.

Nice relaxing location once you find it.Service was terrific. Wines were ok. Just not really my style. Ordered a couple cheese plates. Didn't know until they were delivered it was goat cheese. Some of my group wouldn't eat it. Should specify on menu it's goat cheese. I did like that.

I organized a large group lunch/tasting at the Barrel Room at Left Foot Charley for a girls trip and was completely blown away by the experience. We catered from Folgarelli's (another A+ experience!) and LFC set us up outside under an umbrella. We felt like we were in a different world! Peaceful setting, beautiful flowers and garden vibe, and excellent service! Connie set us up place settings and presented 5 wines throughout the lunch that were crisp and refreshing on a summer day. Her knowledge of the wine was excellent and she offered just enough tasting notes without going over the top, recognizing we also wanted to catch up. The entire experience was delightful and I can't recommend this enough if you are visiting Traverse City with a group. Thank you Connie and LFC!!

Lovely Cinnamon Girl Cider. Also had award winning Winesap cider. it was great that the pierogi food trucks were there and they also had some offerings at the restaurant. pleasant outside patio with shade. Service was a little slow and the waitstaff a bit in attentive but we were busy working on a computer they might have assumed that we didn't want to be bothered. good selection of beer, too. clean.

Amazing ciders, great ambiance and service! Jessica was knowledgeable and patient with our questions and explaining how the ciders were made. We are from out of town and this business was suggested to us from previous visitors. We can see why! It was definitely a business we will revisit again!
