My friends and I went to the Traverse City area to drink wine and smell the lavender. At the Brys Estate we did both.The Secret Garden was extra special since it was my first time going to a lavender farm.. You could smell the lavender when walking through the fields. The shop had lots of great lavender and non-lavender gift ideas. They also had Moomers ice cream. Some of us had the lemon lavender white chocolate chip ice cream which was amazing.Definitely worth checking out.
Amazing! A must visit if you are even remotely in the area. The garden is meticulously maintained and gorgeous. We were lucky enough to come on a perfect sunny day and spend a lot of time taking in the lavender scent hanging in the air. Also, the shop has a great collection of lavender goods and some delicious ice cream.
Absolutely amazing destination...especially if youre a garden lover! With a country French atmosphere, lavender fields galore and surrounded by hundreds of blooming flowers in all directions, one can easily fall in love with this estate. We found treasures in the gift shop and enjoyed lavender ice cream treats in the rocking chairs on the porch. I also went online before the holidays to order gifts directly from their website. Highly recommend this establishment!
The Secret Garden is a lavender field with a cute gift shop. This field is next to the vineyard. They have a gift shop where you can buy the hand sanitizers, souvenirs, Moomers ice cream and other products. You can also pick your own lavender! Enjoy a stroll down the field. This place is also great for a photoshoot.
Lovely outdoor nursery down a well-paved road from Brys. There are tables and chair for sitting and enjoying the space. The lavender shortbread cookies in the shapes of the two peninsulas are delicious and adorable. Lots of products in the store: soaps, lotions, sachets, sleep masks, cozies, etc.
I’m a TC local photographer. I photographed a proposal at the Secret Garden. Taylor was working there and in contact with myself and my client prior to the day. She was very helpful and knowledgeable and went out of her way to make us comfortable and informed. Give this lady praise. Not only was Taylor amazing, but the entire site is gorgeous and loved and the perfect place for a proposal! Thank you so much Brys!
It was fantastic. From little store, to the great wine tasting store. Yummy. I bought two bottles.
What a nice surprise when we stumbled onto this beautiful garden💗 And enjoyed the Lavender Lemon Moomers Ice Cream 😋
The estate offers a farm with seasonal upick items. The fields are neat and you can walk as well as perform upick on covered paths so your clothing will not get dirty. There is a charming gift shop which offers seasonal items like lavender scented products lavender lemon frozen drinks and ice cream.
It is.beautiful and peaceful. The inside of the shop was cute.
Very cute little lavender shop!
Very nice people, didnt even mind my weird kids running around like goof balls outside
Wonderful seeing painters painting pictures.
Love the lavender fields and all the products made from it
Beautiful place to make a quick visit. They have a few tables and chairs spread out. You can get ice cream and drinks made from lavender. We really wanted to try it but I couldnt believe they told they were out. They had other flavors but you can get those anywhere.
Great place with an excellent setting.
Absolutely beautiful and very peaceful
This is the cutest little shop, tucked away and surrounded by gardens. Excellent for shopping for yourself or for gifts. Love bringing the out-of-town friends that want some cute and fun shopping stops inbetween wine tasting!Last time I was there, I bought the wool dryer balls with the lavender essential oil you can use to add the most heavenly natural smell to your laundry. Very happy to not have to buy cheap, fake smelling dryer sheets ever again.
I was gifted Lavender lotion from here. Holy moly is it strong. One pump and people 4 cubicles over could smell it. Not workplace friendly. If you want to REALLY smell like lavender, buy their lotion, youll love it.
Such a great experience of walking through lavender. You could come and just breath deep and feel the stress melt. The space is well done and the staff are super welcoming. It is exactly what you want to feel when you come to a place that is meant to bring calm and joy. Come for the views stay for the smells.
What an adorable little place this is! Cute little gift shop off the winery, a great seating area to relax, and acres upon acres of lavender fields. This is a must see if you are near the winery and have an hour to chill and relax. Very cool!
Excellent quaint shop on the peninsula & we loved the outside seating & lavendar-lemon-white chocolate chip ice cream.
Friendly staff at the winery. Be sure to check out the lavender shop down the hill - cool little area of the property!
Spectacular drive up view, beautiful and abundant lavender garden. We cut our own stems with quiet bumble sounds and scents around us. The lavender lotion and hand soap from their store is clean and lovely. Will buy the spray next.
Not as good as the 1st 3 movies totally unlike the 1st 3 movies Didnt follow the story line at allI like the wardrobe and I like the visual pictures and everything but as far as whoever produced it never saw the original
Beautiful!
Beautiful and tranquil
One of our favorites! Love the charcuterie and the frozen rose!!
Beautiful gardens, nice for a peaceful stroll or you cut bouquet.
Some of the best u-pick strawberries on the peninsula. There are still some on the plants as of today, July 2nd. The Lavender is absolutely gorgeous, not quite in bloom yet! Worth the trip. Can always go over to Brys afterwards for a glass of wine on the deck ;)
Loved it!
Beautiful scenery, lavender all around, unique gifts, clean restrooms, everything you could ask for. This place is awesome. My family and I ate lunch at a picnic table there and it was very pleasant.
Amazing..... I wish I brought my yoga mat.... I might have to make the trip more than once a year. Thank God for online shopping!
A great floral hideaway at Brys Estates Winery. The u-pick strawberries were probably the best strawberries Ive ever eaten, definitely NOT what you would find in a grocery store. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, just what I would expect to find at Brys.
Nothing wrong, just wasnt really my kind of place, I guess. Lots of lavender knick knacks and pick your own berries.
My wife and I stop here everytime we visit Traverse City. Wines are great and the views are spectacular. Highly recommend hiring a driving service so you can enjoy all yourself fully.
A lovely place with everything lavender including ice cream.
Very niceDid the winery tour hereErik our winetender and guide was the best very informative leaned alot about growing grapes and making wine lots of free samples would highly recommend this tour
Fav place ever.. Nvr travel up here a d not stop by. Always spend $100 easy
Excellent products, service and even after sales assistanceA definite must visit during a day of winery touring in traverse City
Its kind of....awkward? The view is beautiful but theres a random small gift shop with 3 ice cream choices and nothing else.
I loved EVERYTHING about Brys Winery, thank you, we had a wonderful visit!
If you love lavender like me, its a great place to spend time!!
Very pretty place
Love it. You will too, if you love lavender.
Great gift store. Try lavender cookies.
First time taking h adult kids on a winery tour! They enjoyed themselves!
The new lavendar farm is beautiful when in bloom.
Beautiful garden, and they have awesome lavender shortbread cookies!
Glad we stopped. Enjoyed rocking on the porch.
Really pretty but the lavender is so overpowering I had to leave.
What a surprise the place was beautiful!
Best kept secret garden!
Pretty to look at, everything lavender!
