Bike Rentals (e-bikes)

If you enjoy cycling, renting a bike or e-bike in Suttons Bay and riding along the Leelanau Trail is a great way to spend an afternoon. Ride from Suttons Bay to Farm Club and stop by Shady Lane Cellars and other vineyards along the way. Finish back in Suttons Bay and grab a beer at Hop Lot. Ride Leelanau or Suttons Bay Bikes offer high quality bike for rent.

Wintertime @ the vineyards

Many vineyards offer pre-set dinners with wine pairing, prepared by talented chefs, and offer an intimate atmosphere. Shady Lane Cellars allows snow shoeing and cross-country skiing through its vineyard. And they offer warm soup and wine in the winter. (note: the mini-dome has snow shoes that are free to use for our guests)
