5 Must-Do Stops on Old Mission Peninsula
Soak up good times and beautiful scenery at these wineries, restaurants, vistas and road-side attractions on Traverse City’s coast. These are the must-do stops on Old Mission Peninsula, whether you’re vacationing, keeping guests happy or simply enjoying the place you call home.
Wineries are certainly a big draw these days on scenic Old Mission Peninsula, a narrow finger of land that divides Grand Traverse Bay and stretches 19 miles into the turquoise waters of Lake Michigan.
But spend any time exploring Old Mission, the smaller of the region’s two peninsulas the other is Leelanau and you’ll discover much more than vineyards and world-class wines. Tidy cherry and apple orchards and expansive family farms share the bucolic landscape, along with unparalleled views both east and west of Grand Traverse Bay from hillside vistas.
