Love this winery. First, the scenery is lovely. This is a beautiful place.Secondly, the people who work here are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.Thirdly, and most importantly, the wine is fantastic! There is something for everyone. No matter if your taste runs from red to white, dry to sweet, you will find the perfect wine for you. This is my annual destination, even if it is only to run in and grab a few bottles (you can never just have one!). Prices are good. In my opinion, the best wine made in the U.S. and rivals many/most from overseas.You won't be sorry :)

Wine country at its finest. Accommodations were great and the hospitality was the best. The Food and Wine were exceptional. Make sure you attend the reception in the afternoon.

The wife and I stopped here as we visited several wineries in the area. We were greeted nicely, given some mulled wine. The place was packed! Waited about 10 mins for a spot at the bar. Tasted the whites and a couple desert wines. All was good, we ended up buying a couple bottles. This is by far the largest and most "commercial" of the wineries that I've visited.

We went with friends for the Friday night fishboil which was good, but lots of bones in the fish! They served dinner with a glass of their Riesling. It's so good that we got extra bottles for dinner, in fact the next day we went back and two of our friends each bought a case! It is a beautiful setting.

Nice selection of wines to choose from, great staff and appetizers to pair with the wines. Looking forward to returning.

We were not impressed with this place at all. We were disappointed. We were not even greeted or recognized when we walked in. There was a girl behind the bar but, she never said a word to us. We looked around at the wines but, they had them way overpriced compared to other wineries we've visited. Also thought the tasting was overpriced. So we left to look for something else. We would not go back.

Stopped by their Hearth & Vine restaurant for lunch last week. Great price on a pizza from their wood fired oven and a touch of their hard cider. This place has something for everyone in the family - don't miss it.

It could be that we just hit this winery towards the end of the day and when people had already had alot of wine to drink. But this winery seemed overly loud. Almost like a rowdy bar. The grounds were beautiful. It was great to walk over to cafe and be able to purchase food after an afternoon of tasting wine!

Black Star is my favorite winery with the best selection of wines. The servers are knowledgeable and friendly. There is a fee for the glass but you can bring it back for future tastings.

My wife and I have been to this tasting room before. As the first winery on the Old Mission Wine Trail, it is always our first stop. The ambiance is lovely and inviting. The staff friendly and knowledgable. The wines are delightful, with an array to suit any palette. We always take something home from Black Star.

I have long time been a fan of Black Star Farms and their Sur Lie Chardonnay. I have had the fortune to visit their wine tasting site in the Old Mission Peninsula of Michigan. Now I had the great opportunity to visit their property on the Leelanau Peninsula. As a member of their wine club, I was able to do wine tasting 2 days in a row for FREE; I got to stay in their Inn at Black Star Farms...awesome (happy hour, bottle of wine, lovely breakfast, fine cafe, lovely grounds, cute animals and more. Easy to find, great wines and foods, lovely people.

The setting for this winery is unlike any of the other 5 wineries we visited that day and it definitely impresses you once you drive in. They had a strong wine list and even included some spirits. The raspberry dessert wine is exquisite.

For the best overall experience in wine tasting, don't miss Blackstar Farms. This winery has it all, from large tasting room (with ample space in a separate room for large groups) to knowledgeable staff, horse farm, distillery, and overnight accommodations at the inn. My favorite wine was the Arcturos Sauvignon Blanc...dry white with a mild and pleasant finish.

This is a beautiful place to visit (enter along hill of vineyards then pass beautiful B&B), so if have limited time to visit the many wineries, definitely make time just to fit this in. Wine was good and they have other neat items such as brandy, some with full grown fruit in the bottle! If take bike ride on Leelanau trail from Sutton's bay to Traverse City, check out their pear orchard to see how they do it!

Absolutely gorgeous setting! Definitely worth seeing! Got to the tasting room soon after it opened. Had a wonderful server and we tried a variety of wine. We found several varieties that we just had to buy. The"ice" wine was delicous! This is a MUST stop!
