Excellent lake excursion and wine tasting - We had perfect weather and lake conditions. The scenery was fantastic. The wines from Bos winery of Elk Rapids were very good and the representative of the winery was personable, knowledgeable and able to explain in our terms. Our entire group had a great time.

First Time On discovery, wine tasting boat, in Traverse City - Everybody that was running everything, they were phenomenal, had an issue with my ticket to get on the boat, so they had us go on the boat, and then they would take care of it, so I think that was very good customer service, because I work in customer service for 25 years, I would recommend that boat and those people to everybody in the world
