Grand Traverse Bike Tours

My boyfriend and I wanted to explore all of the wineries in the area but were not a big fan of being carted around in a car. They helped us pick a good path and offered tips to avoid biking up the larger hills. They picked up the wine we purchased and brought it back to the bike shop which was a huge perk for us. The lunch they provided was great too, we had expected just simple sandwiches but it was a whole gourmet meal where we got to choose specifically what we wanted and we ate it outside at one of the wineries. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to see more of the area and make it more personalized!

Excellent establishment! They provide fantastic bikes along with water bottles, a map of the best wineries to hit and to top it off they bring you a huge lunch! They also picked up all of our wine for us and had it ready when we returned. It’s about 14 miles to go from suttons bay to the furthest winery and back but you can shorten it. Definitely recommend these guys, Caroline was the best!

Nice trail. Close to wineries. Employees are rude and obviously not big fans of «tourists».

For my friend’s bachelorette party, we wanted to do something different. My friend is an active person, so we did the bike tour to 4 wineries.
A group of 9 of us (mixed levels) were guided by Tom (it was his first tour!) to the wineries. The route was a little challenging in some areas, but was pretty easy for the most part.
Most of the wineries offered a great environment (with the exception of Ciccone — it was boring!).
The tour offered a luncheon for our group at the 3^rd winery. It totally exceeded expectations — picnic set-​up with mason jars, delicious sandwiches (and salads for my Paleo friends), other snacks. It was perfect!
Thanks for such a great day!

This is the best first stop we ever made. The tour was just the start, the knowledge of the area and help we received navigating was fantastic.

This shop is the best. The bikes are in tip-​top shape. Nick is super helpful. We would rent bikes from GTBT in a minute! He even added a fender and front storage pouch-​thing without me even asking. He’s the best!

Lovely bike. Reasonable rates for kids. Excellent customer service.

The self-​guided tour was exactly what we were looking for! We were up from Chicago on a weekend trip and wanted to bike around to the different wineries but weren’t sure how to go about it. Grand Traverse Bike Tours made it super easy with great bikes, helmets, water bottles, a map and guidance on where to go, super close to the start of the trail, and lunch delivered! They even pick up all the wine you buy along the way so no need to figure out how to lug it on your bike. All in all, a relaxing, casual, wine-​filled day with beautiful scenery along the way. I’m recommending this trip to everyone I know!

Four of us recently rented bikes from Grand Traverse Bike Tours to do a self-​guided tour of the wineries and it turned out to be a great experience. Beyond just providing the bikes, Nick mapped out our day, provided water bottles (stainless steel; a fun souvenir!), and had us choose our lunch from a menu of many options before we left for our ride. The bike trail to the wineries is paved and away from the highway for a comfortable ride. When we reached the winery that we had planned for lunch, it was laid out beautiful on a tablecloth, and the food was phenomenal. The lunch alone was worth the cost of adding the self-​guided tour to our rental. In the end, we had a great day, and the service here definitely made the difference. I highly recommend this for a fun day activity to others visiting the area!
