Fenn Valley Vineyards — Attraction in Ganges Township

Update as of August 30th 2019. They have reached out and contacted us in regards to our review and have made the situation better.

-----------‐-------------------------------------------------------------- 3 stars seems too generous, but my guest had a good time at my bridal shower. My mom had tried contacting the lady in charge of the parties 4 different times to find out if our bridal shower was confirmed because they took money out of her account but never gave any sort of a confirmation. One time she called and got a full voicemail box. She then had tried several times to still contact her and finally got a hold of her several hours later. I personally had emailed the venue 2 days before to find out if they supplied linens and had not gotten a response. My fiance called to see if he could get a answer, where he was transferred to the event planner, put to voicemail and was not contacted back as well. When we got to the venue on the day of the bridal party, we were informed that at 3:45 pm we would have to leave so they could set up for a party at 4 pm, when our reservation was for 2 pm! not even 2 hours to sit down and enjoy a social event. Definitely not worth $180 minimum when you don't even get 2 full hours. As a part of the package we purchased, I got a signature bottle of wine with a custom label with our names and the date of our wedding and it didn't have the correct wedding date on it. That was taken care of by a reprint of the label, however. The lady that was serving us wine samples and was in charge of our party had informed us that while tending to us she had to also get things ready for the 4 o'clock party.

The package provided cheese and crackers, celery, and other small snacks, but there was not enough for the 18 person minimum. The cheese was dried out as well as the celery. The same goes with the souvenir glasses, as we only got 10 even though we paid for 18.

Definitely seems like they are short handed on staff and lack greatly in being prompt in replying to paying guests. Like is said before i only gave 3 stars cause my guest had...

My wife and I absolutely love Fenn Valley Vineyards. Several years ago, while visiting Frankenmuth, MI, we tried the most delicious wine ever- Peach & Honey. Although private labeled for Frankenmuth, when we read the bottle, it revealed that this delicious wine was produced on the west side of Michigan at Fenn Valley Vineyards. Ever since then, we have been making an annual pilgrimage to Fenn Valley Vineyards to stock up on this heavenly nectar and several of their other wines.

During our 2019 visit to Fenn Valley Vineyards, we noticed some RV’s parked out in the fields and asked the staff what that was all about? That was our first introduction to Harvest Hosts and from there our story took another fork. Later that year, my wife and I decided to build out our own campervan so we could travel around and visit amazing wineries such as Fenn Valley Vineyards and other Harvest Hosts locations. In 2020 our van build was completed and hit the road.

Visiting Fenn Valley Vineyards has been an annual tradition for us and now we do so in the luxury of our adventure van on wheels. There is nothing like sleeping at your favorite winery and waking up to views like the attached. When visiting, you will find the staff to be very friendly, beautiful vineyards, and the most delicious tasting wine. Once parked in the fields for the evening, make your way to the wine cellar for a tasting, grab yourself a charcuterie board, and stock up on your favorite wines.

Pro Tips: 1) Sign up for the Fenn Valley Vineyards newsletter on their website to stay informed about events and specials. You will often find a coupon for $5.00 off in the newsletter. 2) When you purchase a case of more of wine, there is usually an additional discount. 3) Bring yourself some cinnamon sticks. Heat us some Peach & Honey wine in a small pot (on low) with a cinnamon stick for 20 mins and you will discover yet another way to enjoy the...

We've been here a few times over the last couple of years, and each time it's been a great experience. They have a nice tasting bar and a wide selection of wines. It's just a small little cost to taste seven wines of your choosing, and the bar staff is always super friendly and there to answer questions and describe the origins of their wines.

I opted to do the chocolate and wine pairing, which was a little more money than just the wine tasting, and with this option you don't get to choose your wine. They have paired certain wines with a couple of chocolate truffles. It was quite enjoyable, especially to see how the chocolate changed the characteristics of the wine on your palate.

I also bought some of their Michigan Awesome Cherry Wine, which is a really tasty blend of tart and sweet. I highly recommend it. I typically also enjoy bold reds like Cabs, though I will say I don't so much enjoy a lot of Fenn Valley's reds as much as I do the reds out in Napa. Still, there is a good selection of wines here, and they do have some yummy whites, dry and semi-sweet, and some other specialty wines like ice wine and ciders.

I highly recommend this place for anyone...
