Great local shops and national retailers. Also, some of the best places to stop for a bite to eat. Some of our faves are Horizon Books, Cherry Republic, Ella’s and Toy Harbor.

BEST winery in TC! Ok, we are a little biased since we grow Pinot Blanc grapes for them. But for real, great wine, cider and super special location in the former laundry facility at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons.

A great way to get out, be active and enjoy a mix of scenic northern Michigan and neighborhoods. Biking, jogging, rollerblading and walking are perfect in the summer and cross country skiing or snowshoeing in the winter. Our fav for a day of biking is the trail out to Suttons Bay; head out there for lunch at Martha’s Leelanau Table or Hop Lot!
