Whether you are looking for a destination Traverse City restaurant experience in a unique setting or to take a break and fuel up while touring the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, our newly-imagined bistro is your perfect stop. The all-new menu highlights Estate Chef John Korycki’s years of experience with global cuisine while featuring fresh local ingredients from our own and area farms. Take your taste buds on a Mediterranean tour while enjoying the sites of our Suttons Bay winery estate. You can taste the fresh and quality ingredients in every bite! It’s our philosophy.

Where farm meets fork, and vine meets glass!

We create wine-paired dining experiences for any special occasion like anniversaries, birthdays, elopements, or holiday gatherings. Learn more about our private dining options here.

Originally the building that now houses our bistro was part of the property’s equestrian facility and served as a mare barn. Renovations began in 2006, and in the fall of 2007, it opened as a farmer’s market featuring products grown on the property and from nearby farms. Over the next few years, a wood-fired oven was added, and other improvements were made. Now our culinary team creates their fabulous farm-fresh fare in a full commercial kitchen, and diners can enjoy their meals in our cozy dining room or outside on the scenic patio.
