The setting
“The drive up is very nice too, there is a lot of beautiful landscape and many other vineyards along the way to explore, but nothing that we have found compares to Chateau Chantel.”
“The balcony is beautiful and overlooks the vineyard, if you go when it’s nice out I highly recommend hanging out around there.”
“Our host and server, Bill, was absolutely fantastic — a great storyteller who made the winery tour both entertaining and educational.”

From the reviews
We did a trip to Traverse City for a birthday and found Chateau Chantal based on the ratings and overall reviews for the birthday dinner. We had an amazing experience with the tour and wine pairing meal. The tour guide and host for the dinner was Bill, and he has worked for the winery for over 20 years!
Phenomenal Winery! We have been coming here for many years, even during the pandemic restrictions and have enjoyed every visit. Probably my favorite Winery/Vineyard anywhere. Breathtaking views, large selection of amazing wines, great food and plenty of wine accessories.
We have traveled really far away from Singapore back Michigan to revisit. This time we choose to stay with Chateau Chantal. It’s so pleasure experience that the room is well designed, all staff are very friendly, breakfast is very delicious. AND, there is beautiful sunset here at the top of chateau.
Spent this past weekend at the Chateau Chantel Bed and Breakfast. It is a beautiful location with great views, our room was wonderful (Renoir suite), the breakfast both days was fabulous.
Getting married at Chateau Chantal Winery and Inn
A castle wedding is the once-in-a-lifetime, storybook kind — the grand staircase, the ballroom, the gardens and turrets your photos will live on forever. Castle weddings commonly run $10,000–$40,000+ depending on the date, guest count, and how much is included, so ask for a written quote for your season — Chateau Chantal Winery and Inn doesn’t publish a set price, and tiers move fast. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you’d actually get married — a ballroom that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you’ll want to walk the path your guests take from the gates to the ceremony to the reception. Second, bring your real questions: what’s included with the venue fee (tables, chairs, setup, teardown), the catering and bar policy, whether you can stay overnight on-site, the rain plan for a garden ceremony, and the music curfew. Fairytale dates at castle venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what’s open in your season before you leave.
