WINE WITH A VIEW

BRYS ESTATE VINEYARD & WINERY 3309 BLUE WATER RD., TRAVERSE CITY | 231.223.9303

Brys’ upper deck overlooks rows and rows of lush green vines as East Grand Traverse Bay winks in the distance. Order a frosé (a frozen slushy with pinot noir, riesling, strawberry juice and lemon juice!) and a charcuterie board at the deck’s Skybar to pair with the vineyard views. Ready to wander? Go explore the Secret Garden where more than 6,000 lavender plants, strawberry and blueberry patches, an herb garden, gift shop and more are tucked behind the winery. BRYSESTATE.COM
