Bowers Harbor Vineyards

Bowers Harbor Vineyards is an Old Mission Peninsula stop for wine or cider, with an outdoor setting that makes the season part of the experience. Leave room for a relaxed visit instead of treating each winery as a quick stop on a crowded itinerary.

A peninsula vineyard visit

The vineyard was established in 1991. Its current visitor information lists the address as 2896 Bowers Harbor Road, Traverse City, with wine and cider offered by the glass or in curated flights.

Bowers Harbor describes itself as an outdoor winery location. Dress for the weather and check the seasonal seating arrangements, especially if shelter or an easier walking route is important to your group.

What to know before arriving

The operator accepts walk-ins and offers reservations. It currently states that sales are card-only and outside food and beverages are not allowed; packaged snacks and nonalcoholic choices are available. Check the current policies and opening schedule while making your plans.

If you want a guided experience, choose from the winery’s published options and booking requirements. Bowers Harbor specifically says there is no production on site, so a visit should not be planned around an assumed production-facility tour.

Give the peninsula a little time

Compare this visit with Mari Vineyards or Chateau Chantal, and arrange transportation before tasting. Allow time between stops for the drive, seating and the experience you have booked.

Browse our Traverse City stays to find a base for your plans. Check each property’s map, sleeping arrangements and amenities, then enter dates for current availability and rates. Contact our team if you would like help choosing an area; winery reservations are arranged separately.
