This was our 2nd visit to Brys. It is a beautiful winery in a stunning hilltop setting. The barrel room is a great spot to enjoy the tastings. The new deck has a spectacular view to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and a snack.
I often find myself bringing out of town guests for a wine tasting on the Old Mission Peninsula and I always make sure Brys is on the list, even if we only have time for one or two and it always seems to be everyone's favorite. Of all of the wineries on the peninsula it is the only one where I maintain membership in their wine club. The tasting room is beautiful, the staff are great, and the wine is above average. If you happen to find yourself here during the summer months, they have a great observation deck where you can enjoy a glass of wine while overlooking the vineyard. If you get a chance, try the ice wine and cheesecake pairing, but I also really enjoy the standard tasting and they have a great meat and cheese platter to accompany a tasting as well.
Wasn't planning on liking this vineyard, seemed elementary compared to the others larger vineyards but I was wrong ... Really nice tasting and wine was fab .... Of all bottles purchased those r ones I wished I had more of... Go and enjoy!
Went there with a group of friends. We are members of their wine club and got a complementary tour and tasting. Tour and wine were outstanding. The view from their new deck is the best. We were greeted by the owner, a very nice man.
We have enjoyed Brys for many years. The tasting room is gorgeous, and they recently added an upper deck and second tasting room with wonderful views. The staff is always great and the owners are often right there interacting with the staff and customers. It was the first place we had a really good red wine made in Michigan, I am happy to say that is not as uncommon these days to find a good Michigan red but Brys still stands out. It is always a favorite destination when we go wine tasting.
Lovely grounds and facilities. The wine tasting room was a bit dark and the young male staffer was a bit pretentious. We felt he was less then attentive to us but very attentive to a young lady next to us. We sampled, then went upstairs for a glass. Much better service there. Great wine, a bit pricey. We would go back just for the deck view.
Loved the Merlot! Bought two bottles. This is one of the most beautiful wineries in the area. They definitely know what they are doing with the Reds.
Not only is this a beautiful location with a new deck that extends right out into the Vineyards, they have excellent wines to choose from for a tasting and to purchase. It was another fun visit on this trip to enjoy the Fall colors. Recommend!
We really enjoyed the new outdoor deck overlooking the vineyard. We choose to skip the wine tasting and go straight for the wine by the glass. Really liked the 2013 Pinot Blanc. The fall color was at peak & amazing scenery to enjoy.
We stopped by to taste the reds as they are well known for them. The pinots were quite tasty as were the whites. Julie made us feel at home and spent lots of time talking about the wines. On a cold winter day, it was great to look out over the vineyards and East Bay.
