    THE MOVIE STAR EXPERIENCE We appreciate your service and use vehicles with ICE COLD AC- not like the old school buses! Pickup is at Hardy Street Parking Structure, east side of the structure near the State Street entrance next to Middlecoast Brewery, look for some luxury GMC Yukons/Cadillac Escalades. Hardy Street Parking Structure is across the street from Park Place Hotel. For groups, we also pick up at some local downtown Traverse City locations- email or text us your location. Our guests don't have to walk miles to a far-away park to get on some old run-down bus! OR worse, our guests won't have to drive to some park only to drive back to Traverse City after a day of drinking wine! Don't come here on vacation and leave on probation! Movie Stars Wine Tours guests get picked up and dropped off in Downtown Traverse City. Book the Movie Star Experience! Guests from outside of downtown- Day tours- we can sometimes pick up before tours at local area hotels, however, traffic gets heavy in the afternoon, so drop off after the day tour would be downtown Traverse City. Day tour guests are strongly encouraged to go downtown Traverse City to eat until rush-hour is over, catch an Uber or hotel shuttle later in the afternoon. Guides have dinner recommendations for guests. Guests on the afternoon/sunset tours- Plan ahead, get downtown early via hotel shuttles/Ubers- traffic gets heavy in the afternoon. Get to the pickup point (Hardy Street Parking Structure), and we can usually drop off at local hotels/motels after the wine tour. Bought a box of wine? No problem, after the wine tour, go out and experience downtown Traverse City, and pick up your wine the next day.

    Awesome TC wine tour

    Tim_F, Jun 2026
    The whole experience was fantastic. Our vehicle was very clean, roomy, and comfortable. Our driver, Clover, was absolutely amazing! She gave history on all of the wineries, was very accommodating, and just a joy. We ran into Mike a few times along the trip too, and he was very social, offered lots of great tips for our trip, and was very appreciative of our business. Highly recommend!

    Best wine tour ever!!

    Amy_B, Feb 2026
    This was such a great wine tour from beginning to end! Brian was our guide and he was super friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the wineries and the TC area! We definitely felt like VIP's at every stop! I would choose this company again, 100 times over!! I highly recommend!!
