Evening wine tour with Mr frizzle
Mr frizzle was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for our evening wine tour! He was very knowledgeable and friendly and made the evening wonderful! It wouldn’t have been quite as awesome without him

A Must On Your Trip To Traverse City
If you enjoy wine, this is a must do while visiting Traverse City. You get the experience of being able to go to multiple wineries safely with the addition of a tour guide giving you all the cool little details. It was immediately a great atmosphere and a part of my trip I will not soon forget. Half the fun was interacting with the others on the bus and by the end of the tour, we were all sharing the same table at the winery. Great value for the price which can’t be beat with the addition of the knowledge that you can safely enjoy and participate in the entire experience.
