Theres a reason over 4 million visitors a year visit Traverse City area. While here take a trip out the Traverse City Pennisula the views are spectacular! Wineries are numerous and great pit stops. I would recommend you go out Center Road and come back Pennisula Drive this way you see both East and West Bay. BTW when you head out Center Road the 1st winery on the left is Mari Vineyards, owned by Marty from the History Channels number 1 show Oak Island.
