About Chateau Chantal

Chateau Chantal occupies one of the most dramatic settings in all of Traverse City wine country. Perched atop one of the highest points on Old Mission Peninsula, the European-inspired estate commands breathtaking 360-degree views of both East and West Grand Traverse Bays — a vista that alone makes the visit worthwhile.

Founded by Robert and Nadine Begin, the winery draws on Robert's winemaking education in France to produce wines that honor both Old World tradition and New World innovation. The portfolio spans an impressive range, from crisp whites and elegant sparkling wines to bold reds and popular fruit wines.

The on-site bed & breakfast offers luxurious accommodations in the heart of wine country, with each room providing vineyard or bay views. Guests enjoy exclusive access to wine tastings, cooking classes, and seasonal events.

Chateau Chantal's Jazz at Sunset series, held on the terrace overlooking the bays, is one of the most popular summer events in the region, combining world-class music with stunning scenery and exceptional wine.

Fun Fact
Chateau Chantal is named after the daughter of founders Robert and Nadine Begin — making it one of the most personal namings in the region. The Begin family still runs the estate, and guests staying at the B&B can sometimes share a meal with family members who live on the property.
