Love the pear wine, 2018 late harvest and delight wine. The brandy will definitely hit you. Its 40% proof. That are always pleasant and helpful.

Wide variety of wines provide something for everyone. Outdoor heated seating and an organized system for cycling patrons through made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable

Great staff, delicious wines and reasonable prices! The seating was comfortable and accommodating during the pandemic. They were kind to show us to a specific seating area even without a reservation. Payments were collected following our tasting which was very professional

Very nice experience. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. It was a comfortable setting to enjoy their wine.

Can you say strikingly busy? No greeting at the door, no one to assist with anything. Albeit this place was busy so were other wineries in the area, and we received 0% customer service here as compared to other local wineries. This made us sad because we heard such great things about this place. We wanted to try some great wines but had a hard time even getting through the crowded room to navigate the shelves of wines. We did drop some cash here and hoped for the best without trying before buying. BEWARE! Their grappa will sneak up on you! Plan on coming here when maybe its not so busy.

Blackstar farms has terrible interpretation and implementation of Covid group restrictions. We understand the 6 person capacity. We were two groups of 4 traveling in separate vehicles more than happy to sit separately, and we were very rudely refused service.They have lost our business permanently. All other vineyards have been very accommodating.

I brought a bunch of out-of-town guests in for a visit this week, and was deeply disappointed with an interaction we had with your manager, Chris.We were enjoying a tasting and some sunshine, the ladies deeply impressed with Black Star - so impressed they purchased several bottles of wine to take home. One of the bottles was opened to enjoy. We did NOT know that was a violation of Black Star’s license and would have never done so intentionally. Chris was extremely aggressive when he approached and riding in the interaction with us on the problem. As a member of the industry, customer service is the majority of the experience. Sadly, this was a disappointing one.

Wines are great, nice tasting room. Good views but not as scenic as competitors. The wines really make up for it though. People are very nice in the tasting room plus helpful. Lots of tables too. Parking lot was full when we got here but we didnt feel like it was packed.

Enjoyed two great visits there, and loved the restaurant. The wine and food were great, and the scenery was wonderful. What a neat place!

Such friendly staff. Great atmosphere. You get a complimentary glass with your tasting. The wine is good but I didnt buy any bottles to take home

Friendly staff, great wine. Our first time at a tasting. The staff was patient and knowledgeable.

They definitely need to step up their “operations during a pandemic” game. They only had a plastic barrier in front of the cash register, eliminating the opportunity to taste at the bar. We were then hurried to a table on the front porch overlooking the parking lot. We were served our wine in plastic cups, placed in the incorrect order from the wines they labeled for us. There was no discussion or explanation of the wines, or any kind of interaction at all. Fortunately, this was our first stop and we were very satisfied and appreciated the preparation and effort the other vineyards put towards giving a quality experience under these circumstances.

The people were very kind and I thought the Riesling was really good! They were so nice to my 3 year old daughter and gave her a glass for her juice to go home.

Great atmosphere and customer service is excellent. Oh and the wines are very good also

Very nice and cozy. Many great tasting wines

I stayed at Black Star Farms in June 2020. Despite telling the management several times that I was allergic to tree nuts, they served something that triggered an allergic reaction to me anyways (could have not been tree nuts, but I had an anaphylactic reaction). The hotel itself is beautiful and they had great wine, however I cannot get over this negligence by management. I was not able to eat any of the food they served after this, even though I paid for it with my stay at the inn. Will not be returning.

Enjoyed a three sampler. They have several great wines.

This winery was absolutely wonderful. Staff were so attentive and helpful. We definitely will be returning.

Really enjoyed our experience at Black Star. Fantastic wines and a great tasting room.

Production facility with a tasting room. Love the wine, if you want a view, go to their farm and tasting room in Suttons Bay.

Sort of confusing experience. Abided by signs waited for host but there was none. Sign Says no masks needed when you get to table. Man inside said to come in. We waited to be told where to go. He urged us to go to tasting counter (there is plexiglass). We pulled our mask down behind the plexiglass and we were told we have to wear mask behind the glass until we get to table. We were just confused. Received a plastic cup of wine with a parking lot view of parked cars & few nice trees beyond. Mediocre experience but it is hard times

Great place to try some new wines! Staff was great!

Only time Ive ever said I loved detention and homework!

Amazing service, wonderful wine and great social distancing arrangements!

Very friendly service up at the tasting bar. They had a huge selection of wines to try and the ones we had were pretty good.

Wife & I visited in October absolutely loved it, wine tasting was overwhelming and slow otherwise great wine

Nice Reserve Resiling. Nice Setting.

Probably my favorite winery on the peninsula. They have a wide range of wines, ciders, and even brandy. The staff is all very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend trying the raspberry dessert wine (also the winter wine)! The brandy is delicious but strong, so be prepared! One of the places I will always go when I’m in the area.

Desert Wines were great! A good value for your money!

Fast, fun, informative, and friendly service a long list of fairly priced wines the low ends include 13$ selections to 75$ port style pare wines worth a stop for 7$ tasting of 5 wines and 5$for 2 brandy tastings.

The apple brandy is smooth

Great wine. Great service

Great wine tasting experience! Vladimir is an expert! Highly recommended!

I am writing to inform you that your wine attendant working today was extremely unprofessional and condescending. I came with my boyfriend on a wine tour and there was only one other couple there. He paid close to zero attention to us and a lot of attention to them. I had mentioned when we walked in that I didn’t know much about wine and he looked at me in disgust. The other couple at one point asked him if he wanted to go “check on us” because it was that obvious. Extremely unwelcoming and overall a terrible experience. It’s unfortunate that a nice winery like you have was completely ruined due to the staff. I would suggest you take care of this because I have looked at other reviews and many other people have taken his photo saying that he is a terrible fit for this job around other people.

Of all the wineries on Old Mission Peninsula, this is one of my least favorites. It has a very touristy feel to it. They do have a satellite location on another trail as well, but for some reason it feels like it is run like a chain. Honestly, the people there know a lot about the wine, but they just dont have as friendly of a personality as with other places on the trail. They dont seem to relate to you as well, as someone that doesnt know about their wine. You do get a free glass with your tasting purchase, and their wine was decent, but I will probably skip this winery next time, in order to add another one to my stop.

Terrific place, huge selection of wines and brandies, nice ambience and great staff!

Great relaxing place, delicious wines.

Great wines and service.

Really enjoyed this place and the wine is very good. An employee named, Tom was absolutely impressive with the plethora of knowledge he has with wine, grapes, and the history behind it all. An awesome place to stop by for a few tastings.

Great atmosphere and extremely helpful staff. They have a large selection of wine, so there is something for everyone. Would definitely recommend a stop by if youre in the area.

I visit so many winerys in California and Canada and so far the black star its my favorite!!!! Vladimir who makes the wine hes an expert!!!! Highly recommend!!!!!

Great service and fantastic wine!

Late harvest riesling

Black Star Farms is one of my favorite wineries and have some of my fave wines...ie....SurLie and Bedazzled. This is two of their Traverse area tasting rooms. Smaller, but so very nice!

Deontae was great!Awesome service and great wine.

Go here for wine tastings.

Amazing wine tasting. We are sure to make a stop here each visit to TC and stock up. There’s a reason why these wines receive so many awards.

I think they had a good selection of wines to taste. Great service. The staff were really friendly. The atmosphere was good. The tasting room is much smaller than most of the vineries that I have tried but the circular bar design helps manage the crowd very well. I enjoyed stopping by here.

Has to be among the top spots to go if youre trying wineries on the peninsula. They are often featured in wine shops around Michigan.

WOW! Hands down the best tasting ever - Sam was fun and super helpful, the grounds are so beautiful - even in the winter.

Great tasting room. We had such an amazing experience with the tasting. Everyone was so friendly and we were given good advice on wines to try.

I love ️ coming up for wine tasting and tours! But hands down this is my favorite winner! So much so that I signed up for the membership this year!I always recommend that people go to this winery when up here!

The best stop on our tour. Good wine and a very informative bartender.

Awesome experience because the staff has the passion and knowledge to make sure your wine tasting is memorable and tailor it to what you like. I would definitely make this a stop on a wine tour of the peninsula!

Nice spot with some decent wines.

Rob was great despite the busy room. He chose wonderful wines for us to taste and we enjoyed all the tastings. The manager wasnt as helpful as she could have been, but Rob was so friendly we could overlook it. Walked away with wine and a good tasting experience.

Amazing! The lovely gentleman explained all the different kinds of wines we tried.

People are always nice and friendly and very knowledgeable about their wine! And the wine is fantastic to say the least. Highly recommend it to anyone!

Great tasting room. Nice tasting set-up. Love the wines.

Love this place. Their wine selection is very diverse. Love the desert wines.

Our server Olivia Kiel was GREAT

Wine tasted here and enjoyed it very much! Leslie was very kind and helpful. The wines were good as well!

Great wines and beautiful winery. Would recommend to anyone visiting Traverse City

We went there for some wine tasting. The workers are very friendly. And the winners are great!

Phenominal selection of wines. Effectivwly organized to timely accommodate the large crowds.

Although not as extravagant as the Suttons Bay location, still has the same great wine and great staff.

Black star Winery worth the visit and consider the membership.

Love this winery. Have never had anything be less than expected...from thier wines and brandies to the sparkling juice that my son adores.

Enjoyed the dry flights, service was very friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly knew what we liked and recommended wineries that meshed with our tastes. Thank you Shasha.

I didnt go here to drink since I was the designated driver for my family but the service and selection of wines recevied accolades from my family.

Probably my favorite of the Old Mission wineries. Space is on the smaller side, but dont let that fool you -- the variety is great. I tend to go for dryer reds, and was visiting with a friend who prefers whites on the sweet side and ports. We both found plenty to love at Black Star, and my husband was excited about their eau de vies and brandy. Will be going back (equipped with my stemless tasting glass for a free tasting!)

Great selection of wines and location however, the servers were not the most friendly and knowledgeable.

Wondeful Service. Very good wine.

Great selection, award winner Riesling!

Super. Young college gals treated us great...

We came on a busy Saturday, didn’t receive individual guidance to their wine selection. On a positive note, you keep the stemless wine glass and they had a nice selection.

Enjoyed this place. Friendly staff and they explained the wines well. It was busy but staff was able to make time for everyone. The hard ciders are great.

Was disappointed with the service. My party was basically ignored at the tasting bar.

My wife and I like going here and to the farm in the leelanau peninsula. We used a case of the bedazzled at our wedding and the red house red table wine is good with almost any meal.

Very good wine, great facility and open in Dec.

One of the best wineries on Mission. Excellent selection of fine wine reasonably priced.

Great wine. The employees are very helpful. There is definitely a wine for everyone there.

To start with, it was the most awkward tasting experience of my life. Growing up in Napa I have learned the appropriate mannerisms with providing a good experience with tastings. The cardinal rule of allowing guests to speak to one another in private was obliterated as the host literally did not leave a 1 foot radius of us the entire time. The tasting was rushed and we were out the door in less than 15 minutes, including purchasing several bottles of cider. The red wine was pretty much crap in a bottle. Had the experience been better, we would have forgiven the subpar red wines. The whites on the other hand were shockingly palpable.

Really great wine selection and service. Both locations have impressed me.

Friendly and knowledgable staff! Nice reds and touch with keeping stemless glasses.

Leslie, our server was knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. Black Star Farms is a favorite.

There wasnt a wine I didnt like. All of them tasted excellent and the staff was super friendly.

Loved the tasting!!!

A must wine tasting stop!

Had a great time- informative and generous staff.

Friendly service, great selection, good prices

Great experience in the tasting room!

Friendly staff and great wines.

A real fun place to taste wine!

Great wines.

Rudest staff of any Traverse City winery

Not dog friendly as listed on Yelp. No outside seating.

Great customer care!

My favorite stop on the Old Mission!

Great tastings!
