5 Best Wineries near Watervliet

“Easily one of the most picturesque wineries in the area. Do yourself a favor and climb the hill out behind the winery for a closer look at the vineyards themselves and a fantastic panorama of the surrounding countryside.You can't go wrong with any of the wines here; there's literally something for everyone. Tom is an amazing winemaker and viticulturalist. The tasting room staff has always been the friendliest and most accommodating. We make it a point to stop in whenever we're in the area because it's always such a wonderful experience, from the scenery to the warm welcome to the delightful wines.“

“We had an excellent time here and the wines were delicious! They are a teaching winery that is part of a college program, so it is very unique to the area. We just happened to stop because we were on our way to Chicago from Grand Rapids. We have always wanted to stop somewhere along the way, and this was the closest spot when I checked my maps. What luck!! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the people who work here and run the program seem super knowledgeable and passionate about their trade. So glad we stopped! We had some snow today, but the deck off of their tasting rooms looks like it will be a perfect spot to enjoy some beautiful Michigan weather.“

“What a delightful place. I stopped in on a Thursday early afternoon so it was quiet and I could spend lots of time speaking with the staff. Taylor was super helpful. She made great suggestions on which wines to try and had excellent recommendations of other places in the region to check out. She emphasized the 3 sip rule with the wine- make the judgement after three sip. Held true. I liked every wine I tried but the Cab Franc was my favorite! Because it is summer I also picked up a bottle of the Gewurtztraminer, super crisp and refreshing. The grounds are lovely - I wish it was a little further from the highway but what can you do? Very worth a visit if you are in the Benton Harbor area.“

“Nice variety of wines for all palates“
