Bonobo Winery is a small- to mid-sized beverage producer based in Traverse City, Michigan, founded in 2010 by brothers Carter and Todd Oosterhouse to showcase quality Northern Michigan wine and the region’s scenic backdrop. The operation encompasses about 50 acres, with roughly 20 acres currently planted, and it centers its guest experience in a spacious tasting area with numerous intimate seating alcoves and a 2,500-square-foot deck that overlooks West Bay. The winery emphasizes high-quality wine and service delivered in a relaxed setting, complemented by light small plates designed to encourage guests to linger. Bonobo operates within the beverage manufacturing industry as a regional winery in Northern Michigan. Recent developments include a planned downtown Traverse City location at 115 Franklin Street, a two-story Victorian building overlooking Grand Traverse Bay, housing a sushi bar and tasting room, with an anticipated opening on July 1, 2026. That expansion follows an earlier office expansion completed in 2025.
