This little winery is within minutes of our home and conveniently located between South Haven and Holland on an old country road where you would least expect it. In fact, we have passed by it for years and never stepped foot in it until recently and have now made several trips there! This little winery has a very cozy, homey - mom and pops type feel to it. Which I love! Employees treat you more like you are in their own personal homes offering you a glass of wine over a conversation at the kitchen table as well as plenty of information about the wines in question. All the wines are made from fruit that are grown on site, or from other farmers in the immediate area. Another thing I love!The bottles are very reasonable in price and range anywhere from $5.50 for a bottle of Hard Cider which is a MUST try, to $12 for a regular bottle. A few of our favorites are Bear Naked, Blueberry, Hard Cider - Semi Dry and Pear. If in the area, stop in you won't regret it :)
Awesome, friendly atmosphere with wine from apples... Not the grape orchard - but great wine tasting, hard cider and music...If you are in the area, stop in for a fun time. We brought our relatives from North Dakota and they left with armloads...
Cute little place to sample some fruit wines (mostly sweet, but not all) and their lovely hard ciders. They have a couple of tables where you can sit and sample or you can stand at the bar. Very happy to let you sample as many wines/ciders as you like. I prefer a drier wine and was pleased with their Golden Russet White, and their semi-dry cider. Bottle prices are reasonable at $10-12/bottle. We couldn't pass up the Apple Cider doughnuts either. Plenty of things to sample besides their wines/ciders, including fruit butters and cheeses.
This was one of the highlights of our trip to South Haven with two teenage girls. The shop is very quaint and has different samples of everything they sell from wine to pickled asparagus (which is incredible) to apple cider doughnuts (also not to miss). Plus, there is a place to buy snacks and sweet cider. We had a french baguette with two types of dipping sauces for $4. The prices were extremely reasonable for the high quality of food. This would be a great place to take a date and order a bottle of wine, the french bread, and a cheese tray and sit outside at one of the many tables and just enjoy the day.
My sister and I found McIntosh while on a day out just riding around enjoying the country side.We saw the sign and wanted to try it. Wow. We sat on the porch w/ a delicious bottle of wine and some wonderful cheese, a baggette w/ bread dip. Excellent!! The tasting bar has many of their wines that you can taste. We have since been back for other events and never had a bad experience w/ the staff, wine, tastie snacks and the owner is a friendly sort as well.
This place should only be advertised as a winery. We went thinking they would have donuts and cider. They had donuts but the only cider they serve is hard cider, and no apple picking...FYI
We head to South Haven every summer for fruit picking and always swing in to McIntosh for apple cider and cheese curds on the deck.
It's a little off the beaten path but a cute little place to discover. Has a lot of charm and interesting things to try. You can get a draft cider, cheese, crackers and assorted picnic items and eat outside enjoying the fresh country air. Love the Macintosh apple knobs on the cider tappers. Very cute and hand made by a local artisan named Walt.
We visited the McIntosh Orchard/Winery within the last few weeks. We rented a lake house on Scott Lake in Pullman, Michigan just outside of South Haven. This orchard/winery was a pleasant find and I'm so glad we took the country drive to find it. Their fruit wines were wonderfully refreshing and we even sampled and purchased some pickled asparagus that was a big hit with our entire family. I would recommend this little gem without hesitation!
We stopped on a Thursday afternoon. The server seemed annoyed not everyone in our group was tasting. She also seemed very distracted and anxious for us to leave.
