Douglas Valley Winery

Came in on Friday & had a wonderful experience. Cheap tasting flight with nothing but decent wines & delicious ciders. The help was extremely knowledgeable but not annoyingly chatty. Wonderful experience

Coming from California, we are big winos. Decided to stop here and try the wines. Definitely a unique, but nice winery. About 10 minutes away from Little River Casino. The wines are good and the ciders are also worth tasting. Loved the customer service. Our pourer was Priscilla and she was very kind. I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and looking for something to do.

We are visiting Manistee this week on vacation, and found out that the vineyard was having a wine/​cider tasting this weekend. I didn’t even know there was a vineyard… and less than 10 minutes from town!
It couldn’t be a more beautiful place. Low rolling hills filled with apple trees, new vineyards and many of the older farm buildings still standing on the property make it utterly charming. Fruity local flavors in the wines and ciders make it a perfect representation of the area.
My dad, who grew up in Manistee in the 1940s-​1960s, was telling me all about the original owners of this property, and he is thrilled that the property has a new caretaker to keep it alive. A wonderful bit of Manistee history!

WHO KNEW?! Great wine right here in Manistee.
We went to a little festival they hosted which was a grand old time. They had live music, a cookout, a little playground for the kids, and lots of open space to roam, dance, and run around. The land and building is beautiful. It is very picturesque. There are some old barns on the property which are pretty cool.
The wine is great! We have had a lake house in Manistee since 2010 and somehow did not know this existed.
Make sure to check this winery out while you’re in town. Do a tasting and talk to the locals.

Old historic building tucked into a charming hillside vineyard. Lots of organic Michigan made products are available in the store. There are even paper plates and silverware for impromptue picnics. Be sure not to miss the $ 5 wine tasting; it includes all their wines and ciders (and even their root beer), a fun, quick history lesson, and a souviner glass.
