5-Hour Traverse City Wine Tour: 4 Wineries on Leelanau Peninsula

Overview

Sit back and enjoy the gentle slopes, winding country roads and Caribbean-like views on a Leelanau Peninsula Wine Tour. The Magic Shuttle Bus is a chauffeur service with an entire fleet ready to take your group around Leelanau Peninsula's Wine Country.

The 45th Parallel runs through the peninsula, same as for the Bordeaux wine-growing region in France. Wine grapes, tart cherries, apples and peaches are among the many fruits grown in the region, seemingly designed for just that. The peninsula boasts over 25 wineries, many with tasting rooms open to the public.

The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail was No. 3 in the newspaper's 10 Best Readers' Choice travel award contest, finishing behind only Finger Lakes in New York and Lodi in California. The Leelanau Wine Trail was also named best overall wine region in Michigan in the MI by the Bottle Readers' Choice Award

The driver (Matt m ) was great! Very personable and friendly. However , I had to book through TripAdvisor and never got a confirmation email. I called the magic bus phone number multiple times (once to ask for confirmation email and 3 times for address for meet for pickup) each time I was told to Google it When I asked for details I was told to “Google it” I finally found a contact number for TripAdvisor and got ahold of someone who re-sent the confirmation email but didn’t know the meeting place. They told me to call the number for magic bus. I called magic bus for an address to get on the bus and was told again to “Google it” I did that first and it took us to a spot that was apparently the company site and not the bus pickup site. At that point we were going to be late so I once again called magic bus and was told where to meet (traverse city car civic center). By then we were going to be late so I called to let them know The driver waited for us and was very nice The driver was great but the company could use some help with customer service. It was frustrating to be told each time I called to “Google it” when he could have easily told me that we catch the bus at the civic center!
