Set between the crystal-clear waters of East and West Grand Traverse Bay, Old Mission Peninsula is one of Northern Michigan’s most treasured destinations. Stretching nearly 19 miles north from downtown Traverse City, the peninsula is known for its rolling vineyards, waterfront beauty, quiet countryside, and breathtaking bay views at nearly every turn.
The peninsula’s unique geography creates an ideal microclimate for vineyards, orchards, and farms, making it home to award-winning wineries, cherry orchards, lavender fields, and seasonal farm stands. Scenic winding roads, historic barns, and endless shoreline give Old Mission a character that feels both refined and deeply connected to nature.
Residents and visitors are drawn to the peninsula for its slower pace, outdoor lifestyle, and close proximity to Traverse City. Days are spent boating, biking, hiking, wine tasting, or enjoying the many public beaches and waterfront parks, while evenings often end with sunsets over the bay.
Despite its peaceful and secluded feel, Old Mission Peninsula is just minutes from downtown Traverse City’s dining, shopping, marina, and cultural amenities, offering a rare balance of privacy, recreation, and convenience
