Tasting

Our space is quite unique. As the only urban winery in the region, Left Foot Charley offers an opportunity to experience wine country right in the heart of Traverse City. Visit us in our Tasting Room or enjoy an enhanced tasting experience in our Barrel Room.

A Place of Peace

Our spacious wine garden patio sits beneath towering trees along a gurgling creek and offers a rare outdoor meeting place in TC. The modern industrial design is softened by vibrant plants, warm colors and the most friendly service around. It is truly an Asylum – a place of peace.

90-MINUTE ENHANCED TASTING EXPERIENCE

Enjoy some of our most celebrated wines offered exclusively in our century-old Barrel Room. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with our Traditional Method Sparkling 2017 Gitali. Bubbly is always the best way to start any experience! You will be seated at your own private table (up to six guests) among the French Oak Barrels filled with our most exceptional wine.

Your knowledgeable server will guide you through wines selected by winemaker Bryan Ulbrich. Learn the story of our wines and compare unique varietals grown in Northern Michigan. This enhanced tasting will include a charcuterie and cheese board with delectable accouterments, sure to complement the wines. Your tasting will be topped off with, not a cherry… but a RASPBERRY dark chocolate truffle from Great Lakes Chocolates paired with our most exclusive red wine, our Blaufränkisch Reserve.
