From atop our rolling vineyards on Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City, Chateau Chantal is an enchanting place to experience the best of Northern Michigan – exceptional wines, stunning views, and boutique lodging. The air, land, and water combine to create a picturesque setting, but more importantly, these elements influence the style and taste of every bottle. With a deep appreciation for the art and science of winemaking, we proudly use estate-grown grapes and enjoy creating immersive experiences for guests to see, feel, and taste our authentic character and gain a true sense of our region. From wine tastings and wine by the glass to multi-course wine dinners, cellar tours, and stays at our luxury bed and breakfast, Chateau Chantal is a destination for extraordinary wine and special fall memories.
This fall, Chateau Chantal is offering specialty wine dinners every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from September 4th through November 8th. Make a reservation for a six-course dinner, carefully crafted by our in-house chef to complement the accompanying wine pairings. All wine dinners begin with a tour of our working wine cellar to experience our winemaking process and learn from our dedicated team.
Our bed & breakfast also offers guests an opportunity to eat, sleep, and take in the beauty of our property and to connect with our craft. The amenities are exceptional and the experience is unforgettable. Book a stay for an enchanting blend of vineyard, winery, lodging, and warm company; enjoyed in a relaxing rural landscape adorned with breathtaking views, serene local beaches, meandering trails, and peaceful country roads. Cozy rooms and spacious suites are available, each boasting views of the vineyard and Lake Michigan. A chef-prepared breakfast is also included.
At Chateau Chantal, autumn is the season for colorful scenic views and harvest! Join us on October 5th for our annual Harvest Festival to celebrate the gathering of grapes, learn from our wine-making experts, and sample our wines — spectacular fall views included! Vineyard and cellar tours will offer a chance to learn the basics of viticulture and winemaking, from vine to glass. And, grape stomping will get guests involved in crushing the old-fashioned way; with your feet! Glasses and flights of wine will also be available to enjoy.
