"Out of all the winery's on the peninsula Mari is by far the best atmosphere/architecture. The building and grounds are very beautiful and peaceful. The view is equally beautiful! Their wine selection is so vast, they were very helpful describing each different type to us. We settled on trying 4 different wine types in a flight and loved each one. The flavors are all so unique. This was our favorite stop on our Old Mission wine tour.. you won't be disappointed"

"🌄 Mari Vineyards – Stunning Views, Exceptional Wine, and Outstanding Service

Mari Vineyards is a feast for the senses. Perched atop a hill with a direct view of East Arm Grand Traverse Bay, this winery offers some of the most breathtaking scenery in the region. You could sit and stare forever—the views alone are worth the visit.

The wine selection leans toward the dry side, but every pour delivers on flavor and craftsmanship. Whether you're a seasoned wine lover or just exploring, you'll find something to savor. 🍷

What truly elevates the experience is the staff. They're not only friendly and welcoming, but impressively knowledgeable about the wines and the vineyard’s history. Their recommendations are spot-on, and they make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

Beyond wine, they offer a fun variety of flavored soft drinks—mango, strawberry, orange, pineapple, and even grapefruit—which is a thoughtful touch for non-drinkers or those looking to mix things up. Their light selection of hors d'oeuvres pairs beautifully with the wine and rounds out the experience.

We make it a point to stop by every time we're in the Traverse City area. Between the stunning views, relaxing atmosphere, and well-curated offerings, Mari Vineyards continues to be a highlight of our visits."

"Let's talk about Mari's Whitefish Board! We visit Mari Vineyards every summer. They have arguably the best view of any winery, their wines are fantastic, and their terrace and lawn are dog-friendly. We always look forward to our visits to Mari. When we visit Traverse City, we habitually eat a late breakfast, an earlier dinner, and our lunches consist of wine. One lazy Monday afternoon this past summer, we were feeling a little hungry while we relaxed in the shade of Mari's terrace and took in her view. We looked over the menu, and noticed the Whitefish Board ($32). The Old Mission wineries aren't known for their food (it's a super long story), so our expectations were rather low when we ordered the Whitefish Board. Holy mackerel...or should I say...Holy whitefish!!! Ok...first of all, the platter was HUGE - far larger than we expected! And the serving of whitefish pâté was far more generous than we've ever received at any other winery serving any sort of pâté. The naan bread was warm and fresh, the crackers crisp, and the little gherkins tart but sweet. There was a tin of whitefish fillets, and a little heap of red onion. My wife and I shared the Whitefish Board, and it lasted us long enough to drink a couple glasses of wine. The whole experience was delicious and decadent. We talked about it the remained of the evening. The next day (Tuesday), we continued to talk of it, and returned for another round. On Wednesday, we didn't return, but thought about it all day long. On Thursday, we resolved to return for another, but the day grew late, and we went to dinner instead. We left Traverse City on Friday, but we made Mari the last place we visited before leaving town. We couldn't leave without enjoying one more Whitefish Board (and wine)!"
