What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ciccone Vineyard & Winery is celebrated for its breathtaking vineyard views and warm, family-like hospitality. Visitors consistently praise the delicious wines, particularly the Gewürztraminer, and the picturesque setting, making it an ideal spot for both casual visits and significant events like weddings. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some visitors have noted personal preferences regarding specific wine types.
"Not only did my husband and I have our wedding here, we also visited Ciccone outside of our wedding day various times. The staff are so very kind & knowledgeable. The wine is delicious (my personal favorite is the Gewürztraminer). The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. And the vineyard is quite possibly one of the most beautiful places in the Leelanau peninsula- extremely picturesque views of the vineyard, bay, rolling hills, and beautiful landscaping.
Our experience with Janell and Laren were top-notch. I will be sure to write a more in depth review on their wedding services on TheKnot.com, but wanted to be sure to also highlight it here as well for anyone looking.
From the first phone call and tour, to post-wedding communication, we were treated with kindness and professionalism every step of the way. Choosing Ciccone for our wedding was by-far the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. They didn't treat us just like any other couple, they treated us like family. 10/10 would recommend a visit at the very least!"

"Toured this winery for the 2024 Toast the Season. The winery its self is cute, nice atmosphere. I tried a dry red, which I wasn’t a fan of, but I’m sure a dry wine lover would appreciate. Looks like they had a great flight tasting option, for $15."

"We stopped here to check it out, for my sister's wedding. Family loved the wine and location. Plan on having it here. Will update, after the event.
Update: We had my sister's wedding here. It was amazing. The people were great. I don't drink, but everyone I talked to loved the wine.
This place also has wine tasting's so give them a call."
