We had a wonderful experience sitting outside at left foot Charlie enjoying flights and a charcuterie board. The food and beverages were outstanding.I would like to give a shout out to the staff here. We sort of got forgotten after we sat down. Once the staff figured out that they forgot us, they were honest and apologized and treated us wonderfully. This made a lot of difference as they could have left us in a bad mood but they corrected the issue.I would highly recommend this place for the friendly staff and amazing food and drink.

Beautiful atmosphere with outdoor seating located near the old insane asylum. View of the barrels of wine. Waiter was knowledgeable and incredibly nice; our group of four was enjoying ourselves so much we didnt realize the place had closed and not once did he tell us. The flights we chose were clearly labeled and delicious.

We love this place! Weve been here 3 different times , and every time weve had a great experience. We had Moe as our server twice, she is attentive and knowledgeable and a joy to talk to. We will definitely be back!!

They knock it out of the park consistently. Great wines, good atmosphere, awesome staff. So impressed over the years we had become club members.

The outdoor seating experience was nice. We enjoyed their way of serving flights with wine glasses. The Cinnamon Girl Cider was delish!

Ryan was amazing! He was so informative! Great attitude and great service. He made it a wonderful experience.

We spent a few days travelling through the wineries in Traverse City. Left Foot Charley was our last spot. It’s cool because it’s more central. It’s near a bakery, restaurant and coffee shop. We wanted to do a tasting of their rose and cider. My absolute fave was the Cinnamon Girl cider. I think it’s the best I’ve ever had. Such a genius idea to have cinnamon with an apple cider. I regret not buying more for my trip home.Check it out!!

Very tasty ciders and excellent service. Ryan was very knowledgeable and kind during our visit. Cant recommend the Henry enough!

Tried a couple wines and a cider. Really nice! Love the atmosphere. A lot of dry wines which arent our taste but still was able to enjoy the place. Definitely need to try the Cinnamon Girl Cider if you havent!

Loved the Seventh Hill Farm Late Harvest Riesling! We will definitely be picking up a few more bottles before heading back to the Gulf Coast.

Honestly I wish I could give a positive review about my experience at this little winery. We arrived early for dinner reservations so we figured we would stop here. We ordered our first flight of ciders no problem. After that our server Max P server 6099 said he would not serve another drink for 10 minutes. We patiently waited and when he came back he said he didn’t want to serve us anymore after only having the first drinks of the night. We were not loud, not rowdy, and had our masks. Disappointed they accused us of being intoxicated when we only had one. Very poor customer service. Losing out on business during a pandemic. Yikes.

Very nice staff that were happy to accommodate us and move us closer to the heater on a chilly day. A nice selection of ciders with the tastiest “Cinnamon Girl” that tastes like apple pie in a glad.

I recent was visiting this place my last review will tell you all that happened. I am currently writing this review because I was hoping to talk to their manager because to this day I am still upset over my past experience there. They told me to email her and I have yet to hear back from her since August 11th. You would think a company would take certain situations more seriously to provide that better customer experience. I would recommend any other winery based off of the customer experience or lack of by the management team.

Award winning wines and ciders, made from ingredients as locally-sourced as possible — now you know you can’t go wrong with that! Try the late harvest Riesling, or if you want something bubblier, go for the Cinnamon Girl hard cider... so delicious!

Professional service. (Maureen)Cider and wine both worth delicious.

My husband and I and our two friends stopped in before our reservation at a local restaurant to do some wine tasting before dinner. My friend and I both had one glass and my husband and his buddy had one flight of cider. We had taken our time through the first round, quietly conversing, etc. When my husband was ready for a second glass our server Max and other wait staff refused to serve us any more due to the assessment that we were “inebriated”. I assure you these were our first drinks of the night and weren’t any louder than any other table in the establishment. When we questioned them as to why they didn’t have an answer but said they wouldn’t be serving us anything further. Unfortunately the wine was very good, however the wait staff made us feel so uncomfortable and made a scene refusing to serve us. We would never return to this establishment. If they feel people are drunk after a small flight of cider, they should consider changing their menu. If your looking for Traverse City wine tasting, I would suggest looking else where.

Cute place, great wine and cider! The server was very knowledgeable and friendly.

What a great place to stop and try wine or cider made locally. Enjoyed the outdoor patio on a beautiful day. I would suggest a flight so you can sample more than one type of libation.

The best cider Ive ever had. Never disappoints! Get the Cinnamon Girl.

I’ve always enjoyed the atmosphere here and also the wine! Definitely worth checking out

Simple but fun and informative place to relax with friends family, over all a blast to come visit.

It was great!! Did not have reservations but they were very accommodating! Ciders were great!

Left Foot Charley has a great selection of locally made cider and wine! Theres plenty of seating outside and it makes the perfect hangout with friends. Relaxing, quiet, and top notch quality!

Exemplary customer service, incredibly kind employees, great environment, and fantastic beverages. Id give it more stars if I could.

I feel like Traverse City as a whole has fallen to a sub par level of performance. Came here three years ago and it was amazing, 2020 not so much. We ordered a charcuterie plate and a wine sampler, recieved 2 types of cheese and salami in a take out container. Sorry, but if you care more about people wearing masks and less about service, you will fail as a company. I wouldnt recommend Downtown Traverse City as a vacation destination until people wise up and realize this mask propaganda is hurting business!

Always great staff and awsome cider!

This place is a hidden gem when it comes to wineries. It was also cool to see how they all work together and share with each other. Good cider too!

Excellent! Make a reservation during covid times now.

One of my favorite places ever.

Good year of wines for LFCs. Dry and tasty from top to bottom.

Would go there again for sure.

Great place, good wine and cider, friendly staff. Always a good time.

A great experience with the wine and cider and staff. Thanks to Mary, Brandon and Rachel for their help and expertise

Nice indoors and out. Tasty drinks. Left Foot Chaaaaaarrrrllleeeyy!

Incredible winePhenomenal cidersBut thank you Jessica... your kindness was heartfelt by us and our companions this evening!!!

We didnt have very high expectations for this place, thinking that all cider is super sweet, but the stuff they have here is completely different (and way more tasty!!).We sat at the bar where Mary helped us for a few hours, trying a bunch of different ciders, as well as wines. We were also very surprised by the quality of the wines.We plan to order the shippable ciders online (and wine!) to hold us over until our next trip to Traverse City/Left Foot Charley next fall or spring. There are a quite a few small batch ciders that you cant be shipped.

Great atmosphere. Cinnamon girl is excellent.

Have been here many times, and the quality of the product is always high, the servers are always pleasant, and the ambience, especially on the patio, has always been lovely. I really enjoyed the ciders and the Perry this week. Cant remember the names, but they used a wide variety of local apples & pears that produced tasty products, and of course they had my all time fav, Cinnamon Girl. I will continue to recommend LFC to visitors and locals.

Really knowledgeable staff on all their wines and ciders. They have always given us excellent customer service on our visits too. We love that you can sit out on the patio with your pet, the small sand area for children, and they are nice enough to let you bring food to the patio from Spanglish next door. ( Its also a short walk when you park at the Grand Traverse Commons. )

Great service. Went wine tasting. Everything was great

Fantastic wine. Great atmosphere. Rachel is a friendly and enjoyable person to have as a tour guide.

So we were having fun until my girlfriend accidentally spilled her wine and the staff would not replace her wine. They wanted to charge her twice, she was at the bar so it was obvious she drank only a sip—poor customer service

Definetly a destination for great cider

Jackie was so cool and we had the best time trying and buying! The Island View was the best and Marys mixture of Cinnamon Girl and Henrys Pippen - mmm mmm good!

My wife and I loved this place. They dont grow any of the wine themselves but instead sell wine from local growers producing small batches. Pretty good wine and great atmosphere.

The wines were not my favorites, but they do have some very good ciders. The outside seating is shaded and plentiful and, with the view of the Village at GT Commons, the overall atmosphere reminded me of a college campus.

Super nice

Great Service as always and as always, great wines!

Fun and quality wine

We love the hard cider and wine selections here. We visit each year, our last visit it was a little busy so the staff wasn’t the most friendly or attentive. We had a bit of a mix up so I called and the manager Meredith was extremely kind, friendly and went out of her way to make it right. I appreciate the great customer service I received from her so will definitely be back again next year!

We stopped here first on a week-long trip to the TC area and we really enjoyed it! So much, in fact, that I joined the wine club, despite it being the FIRST stop in a very long wine trail. I wish I could recall the mans name who helped us...he was friendly and helpful and answered all my questions. He did not push the club either--we asked about it. Since we were there just a month after the last shipment, he boxed the selections up for us to take, and ran outside after us when he forgot to give us our welcome letter. We were here with family that included 7 children combined, and the staff (I only saw two actually) were relaxed about it. There are some toys outside for kids and some chairs if you want to carry out a glass and enjoy a view of the old hospital. There is also a coffee shop (Higher Grounds) right next door. We went back on our last day in TC for another tasting and they let my sister use one of my free tastings while my husband I shared one. We both bought more wines, and Cinnamon Girl cider is a new favorite.

My favorite place to visit in all of Traverse City. The Cinnamon Girl cider is worth the trip alone - take a growler home! Really cute outdoor setting when the weather is nice, and you dont have to walk far for world class tacos!

Had a great time tasting wines/ciders and chatting with the staffer that served us. Personable and knowledgeable. Took home both a red and white and just may take them up on their wine club offer. #natural #localspotwine

Enjoyed their wines and ciders. It was a bit busy when we went, but that is a good problem for them to have!

My wife and I stopped in after a tour of the tunnels under the hospital. They have some very good ciders. The interior is pretty cool with the high windows that open. We brought back some ciders with us because they were so good. give them a try, we will defiantly return.

Great little patio. Cool wine and cider selection. Great small bites. Plenty of parking all around.

Went on wine tasting tour. This was last stop sevier was nice wine was in the middle cider same. Problem is I dont drink dry wines pretty much thats what they had. Then I paid pretty much double for a tasting compared to other places for not being able to choose what to try.

Great place

This is An amazing place. Please put it on your to do list!! The wine list is superb. I am so in love with the atmosphere.

Saw a mouse run indoors from the patio

Staff was knowledgeable on each wine. Wines and ciders were tasty. We did a pappadew dip which was also pretty good. I would return. Cute decor. Takes reservations got large parties. All good vibes.

Always exceptional wines year after year

Nice atmosphere, good drinks

If youre looking for a nice place to hang out and kill some time in a leisurely fashion, youll likely be successful here. The ambience is pleasing with tasteful decoration and music, along with great lighting from the large window front. The staff is also very knowledgeable and welcoming.However, if youre here for a pleasurable wine tasting experience, thats where the stars drop for me. The wine selection is quite limited, especially if youre into reds, which leaves you with all but one choice. Im sorry, but not one of the wines I sampled were worth the trip. They were largely lacking in body and flavor, smacking your tongue with carbonation before rapidly fleeing without leaving behind much to desire. Take my words here with a grain of salt I guess - it is a matter of taste after all.If youre up for the drive, head over to Pond Hill Farms in Harbor Springs to see what Michigan grapes are capable of.

Wonderful staff and beautiful scenery during summers. The wine is excellent and is matched on par with service.

Amazing place! Staff is wonderful, drinks are great, atmosphere is exquisite, and with a wonderful outdoor seating area, Left Foot a definite must for anybody looking for a professional, clean and an unparalleled experience!

First time here. Staff looked at us as if we were from another planet as we walked in. We didnt know the process to order. Received a menu after asking them and proceeded to the bar to order only to be skipped over by the regulars. Only two things good. 1. The cinnamon girl 2. the weather was beautiful.

Service was great, cider was good, wine was just OK. $15 per tasting was not worth it, which we were not told about until we were leaving.

LFC has a warm friendly atmosphere, a large selection of local wines, ciders, and sodas, and live open mic every Monday night from 6-9.

I give them 5 stars for having a dog friendly patio and for having amazing hard ciders (specifically the cinnamon girl and the beekeeper). There’s only a few food options here and the pretzel that we ordered was terrible tasting and still a little cold but I won’t deducted any stars because they clearly aren’t known for food.

It’s a must try for your wine & cider tours. Loads of history around this location.

Got some cinnamon girl and their needed cider strawberry/apple. Very good.

We had a really fun time visiting here on our vacation. The staff was very friendly and fun while we tried out various items from their menu. Would suggest this as a stop for anyone visiting TC.

My family goes to this place every year for our wine tour. Loved this place and their Riesling however this year this waitress would only serve water to a family member accusing him/us of being intoxicated even though we weren’t and we weren’t even driving. I will NEVER come back here and neither will my family. Very disappointed with this winery. I will definitely be telling anyone and everyone I know to never go to this winery when wine tasting in traverse city. You guys lost a lot of business because of your outrageous ridiculous accusations.

Always friendly faces & fun times. Sweet wines for those that do....dryer wines for those that dont.

Excellent service and Excellent Cider beer and whine. Staff very knowledgeable and felt very welcome as we first walked in the door.

Great tastings. Awesome atmosphere. Cinnamon Girl for sure!!

Delicious ciders and friendly staff. Really lovely space and patio. Would recommend over Taproot any day of the week.

If you want to experience GOOD Michigan wine, LFC is on the must try list! And the cider program is amazing.

Excellent little winery. The cinnamon cider was great, not what I was expecting. Several great Rieslings available. As a Californian I found it a little annoying that they charged us for the tasting fee even though we bought a few bottles but maybe thats just how it is in MI. We would have bought a lot more if they could ship to CA. Very glad we stopped in for a tasting.

Wonderful service and venue and a great selection of both Michigan cidars as well as home grown wines.

Great atmosphere, great wine, great service, great experience. Jess Gegel is a fabulous hostess, and Brians expertise really shows!

This place is awesome, try the Stumble, its awesome!

Wonderful customer service and local knowledge galore! Beautiful unique interior. Tasty wines and ciders.

My recent experience at Left Foot Charley was disappointing given the Google reviews that I had seen prior to going. The staff was not particularly friendly (two people working, hardly anyone in there, and they were consumed with their own private conversation and making sure all the dishes were clean.) After we were finally greeted, the server seemed annoyed that we wanted to do the sample tasting (resulting in him having to come back and refill our glasses.) He never smiled, and made us feel like were a burden since we each did our own sampler (he asked if we wanted to share, to which we answered no.) The portion of the munchies was also disappointing for the price. Overall, the wine was OKAY but as for the experience, we were very disappointed with the friendliness and overall acknowledgement of the staff.

Honestly the best cider on earth- staff was fantastic as well. Came in for a pint and ended up staying the afternoon sampling wines and cheese. Highly recommended to anyone not looking for a bud light

Very nice place. Was able to do the wine and cheese pairing, which apparently was a one-time thing and it was a very good experience. Their cinnamon girl hard cider is incredible.

Love the Cinnamon Girl! And the Beek Keeper was awesome.

Best dang wine Ive ever had! The bartender was super helpful and descriptive to someone like me who knows nothing about wine. He unfortunately had not seen any of the ghosts who haunt the old Hospital grounds, or witnessed the ghost spire that appears, but he knows his wine!

Cinnamon Girl is my favorite!

Great atmosphere. Great music. Staff was very pleasant.

Cool atmosphere, good wine. Visited in late fall, but was able to sit outside and enjoy the courtyard. Will definitely be back.

This is a great place. The beverages are all quality and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I love the atmosphere here just sitting and have a glass.

AMAZING ATMOSPHERE & DELICIOUS WINES & CIDERS.

Great selection of wine and cider. The tastings were decently priced and good pours. The lady helping with the tasting was knowledgeable and really nice.

I loved the Cinnamon Girl and the Pinot Gris. Great locally produced ciders and wine.

Great place to have wine and cider, bring your dog and sit outside on the patio.

Must try the hard cider! There were three varieties on tap during our visit. Cinnamon Girl was our favorite. Also, Thursday from 5-7 they have a one-dish dinner menu.

Loved their Cinnamon Girl cider, and the sampler plates had some good cheeses and meats. Very knowledgeable staff about the old state hospital

Excellent wine
