Mackinac Island Winery — Attraction in Mackinaw Township

My husband and I stopped in for a tasting. He likes beer and I prefer wine so it was perfect combination for both of us. The lay out is strange. We walked in where the Italian restaurant was located as there were multiple entrances. We asked about a wine tasting and were directed into the back. We found the bar and was approached by a female staff member. She was pleasant but as a manager myself, she did not present well for the establishment. She actually drank some of the beer as we were sitting at the bar. She appeared intoxicated spilling wine as she poured it. Another female employee approached the bar and they carried on an inappropriate conversation about their supervisor, their men, etc. There did not seem to be a dress code. Staff were very casually dressed. We’ve been to many breweries/wineries so we consider ourselves knowledgeable. Typically you are provided a beer flight board. This wasn’t the case. My husband was given 4 glasses with a small amount in each glass. They poured them but then couldn’t tell him which was which. The wines were delicious however there were no crackers/ snack to clear your palate between samples. My husband found the beers tasty, his favorite being the Cheybogan Amber Ale. We bought several bottles of wine. Side note -After we left, I began having stomach pains/upset. I didn’t feel well for a few hours following the tasting. I can’t say it was related as I did see the glasses being rinsed between use. Overall I feel like there are some areas for improvement. Professionalism and knowledgeable staff would...

I walked into Mackinaw Island brewhouse after 11:30am on a weekday and no one was in there (customers or employees). I made my way to the back and walked south to find bartender Cheryl and a wonderful tasting bar that was in the winery section. I enjoyed a 4 sample beer flight that surprisingly came with a souvenir pints glass. I also indulged in 2 full pours.

All the businesses are connected including Nonna Lisa’s, build a bear and the candy store. In fact, the restrooms for the winery are in the candy store.

Fast friendly service, great craft beer selection with many options for take home craft beer cans. Competitive prices. You also get $10 of the purchase of 4 bottles of wine.

I’ve wanted to stop by this place several times while in Mackinaw City and am glad I finally did. I would...

This is a neat place, but really expensive! Two glasses of wine and a 16 oz Mexican lager was $29.45. I was charged for a beer that was not on the menu, I was told all beers are the same price $9.00 + 3.5% sustainability fee + tax, same fees on the wine. I walked down the hall to the Mackinaw Island Brewhouse and they said that's not correct, it should be $8.00 including the fee. The Kicker is that there are no bathrooms in the winery, you have to walk next door through the Nonna Lisa's Italian Restaurant. They staff there gave me a hard time, they told me to go down the hall to the candy store!! Unreal! A brewery, a winery, and a restaurant share two individual bathrooms, two toilets total! Total BS, and...
