Why choose Tim’s Tours?  Because we are an established carrier with a valid DOT number (as required by law) with a proper website with real pictures of our vehicles.  Some services are fly-by-night and rent vans for home games and are not real companies.  They don’t have a valid DOT number, proper insurance, nor do they even have a website.  Tim’s Tours is a reputable company that provides year round chartered transportation service to groups.  We have been offering our shuttle service to Notre Dame Stadium for football games and other special events since our inception in 2010.  Tim’s Tours is independent and is not affiliated with any hotel.

Ride one of the Tim’s Tours shuttle busses from your hotel to Notre Dame and don’t worry about parking expenses, long walks, or traffic tie-ups!

An example of a fun day on the Tim’s Tours bus as we tour the Baroda Michigan area:

We’ll begin our Southwest Michigan Wine Country Tour in the late morning.  It’s a good idea to have lunch before arriving so you don’t taste on an empty stomach – and feel free to bring a few snacks and water for the bus too!

We can start at Gravity Winery to enjoy a signature wine flight pairing!  Try a glass of sweetly blended summer fruit called Michigan Magnetism, a bubbly glass of carbonated seyval blanc called Liquid Gold, or even a glass of hard apple cider!  Their tasting room opened in 2011 and is one of the hot spots on the wine trail.  You may even get to meet their official greeter, Ollie (the dog).

Next we’ll head to Lemon Creek Winery and Fruit Farm where they have over 150 years of family experience in growing grapes and fruit. They make great tasting fruity wines – check them out!  Be sure to try their popular semi-sweet white wine, Silver Beach Sauterne.  You even get to keep the souvenir glass!  During the fruit season the farm market is open and is a great source for fresh picked fruit; everything from cherries, apples, peaches, apricots, blueberries, plums and more!  Next we’ll make our way to downtown Baroda!

Our last stop will be at Baroda Founder’s Wine Cellar, the fun winery where you can even saddle up… you’ll see!  This winery was ‘founded” by Leonard Olson, who was the original Tabor Hill winemaker.  Don’t miss their dessert wines, like their “Smorleaux“, which has a milk chocolate flavor with a hint of marshmallow and slightly sweet Merlot characteristics.

This describes a Baroda area tour however we also visit wineries in the Coloma area like Vineyard 2121, which opened in 2015, 12 Corners Vineyards, or for smaller groups, Contessa Wine Cellars.  To get a full Southwest Michigan Wine tour, consider visiting Michigan’s oldest continuously operated winery-St. Julian Winery or Michigan’s second oldest winery, Warner Vineyards; both of which are located in Paw Paw, MI.

The above is an example of a fun day on the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail but there are many other wineries available.  We can plan your wine tour, or you are free to make your own, custom itinerary.

What a fun and relaxing day!  We’ll take a bus ride to some of the top micro breweries in Southwst Michigan.  Sundays are the best day to avoid large crowds.  If you start early, you’ll be able to have a nice dinner before coming home and getting ready for the work week ahead.  Relax with friends over a beer and enjoy the tour! 

We’ll leave just before Noon.   We recommend that everyone has a bite to eat before doing a micro tour.  You can even bring along a lunch on the bus.  Our first stop will be at Watermark Brewing Company located in historic downtown Stevensville, MI.  

Watermark opened in 2016 and feature several rotating beers on tap.  They’ve got great outdoor space to enjoy when the weather is nice with a matching atmosphere.  Certain weekends feature rotating food trucks as well as live music and other seasonal events.

Next we’ll stop at Tapistry Brewing Company in Bridgman, MI.  Along with great beers, Tapistry also has a full kitchen.  We recommend trying the “Brew-ben” (Rueben) sandwich!  They also have a nice deck on the backside of the building which was recently expanded.

Our last stop will combine more beer tasting with dinner at Haymarket Brewing.  You can grab a freshly prepared wood-fired pizza while enjoying your favorite beer.  By now you will probably know which type you really like the best.  After that, you’ll be ready to relax and ride the bus home, telling your friends about your favorite brewery and beer for the day.

We’ll drop you off just in time to do those last few things you need to get done before turning in and starting a new work week.

The above is an example of a Southwest Michigan Micro Brew Tour.  We also go to other breweries along the Lake Michigan Shoreline such as Shoreline Brewery in Michigan City, Tapistry Brewing Company in Bridgman, Silver Harbor Brewing Company in St. Joseph, North Pier Brewing Company and The Livery, which are both in Benton Harbor.  We also visit Boatyard Brewing Company,  Gonzo’s Big Dogg Brewing Company, and One Well Brewing, Olde Peninsulaall of which are in Kalamazoo.
