Grand Traverse Distillery to open tasting room in TC

Grand Traverse Distillery will be expanding to a more visible location in downtown Traverse City with a new tasting room. 

 

The distillery announced the new plans on its website last week, saying the new tasting room and retail storefront would be located at 215 East Front Street in Traverse City. 

 

Grand Traverse Distillery does have a tasting room showcasing its spirits, like vodka, whiskey and gin, at its main distillery, but the location isn't as central as the new downtown one. 

 

It also has tasting rooms in other locations, including Frankenmuth, a seasonal location in Leland, and a shared location with Black Star Farms in the Mercato at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons. 

 

The Front Street location previously was occupied by Old Mission Traders.

 

The announcement said the downtown tasting room would open around mid to late May of this year.
