Black Fire Winery - Tecumseh, Michigan

K 4.

I had an absolutely phenomenal experience here! Not only are the wines an absolute delight (both the taste and price are delicious), but the people are friendly like you wouldn't believe. Ten minutes into my first visit, i was chatting away with four new people. The staff is helpful with making wine recommendations (which was good because i had no idea), and the grounds are gorgeous and peaceful. After my first wine flight, we sat on a porch for hours just soaking it all in. This is an absolutely must- visit for both wine enthusiasts and novices!

Nice service, good views, and friendly staff. However, highly disappointed that they serve the wine in a plastic cup which changes the flavor and feels cheap. We even asked for a glass, but was told they decided not to bring back real glassware (which we saw under the counter) so they don't have to wash glasses. I don't need to rush back.

I took my wife on a mini wine tour this evening and we stumbled upon this hidden gem. A nice selection of Wines, Ciders, and even Beer! The view out back was very pleasant and can't wait to come back in the spring or summer. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Everything was very tasty! I sipped on a New England IPA and my wife said the Blackberry Cider and Wine were fantastic.

Good wine, great beer, and awesome ciders. Service was good and bar staff joked with you.

My wife and I enjoyed our cider choices...apple pie, pineapple, peach, cranberry, raspberry. The cheese tray was very good. The service was very friendly. We purchased the raspberry cider to take home.

Would give zeros stars if that were an option. We went to enjoy tasting and we were told that I could not have my service dog. First by the employee and then by the owner, that rather than asking the legal questions, chose to seem to think my dog was required by law to wear a vest.
Sir, you are concerned about being sued regarding a dog bite? You should be concerned about being sued for turning away a federally protected service animal. You don't get to decide if a dog is a service dog

Under both Michigan law and the ADA, the definition of public accommodations is very broad. It includes:

hotels and other lodging establishments
public transportation and terminals, depots, and stations
restaurants and other places that serve food and drink
service establishments, like barbershops and doctor's offices
any place of public gathering, such as an auditorium or convention center
gyms, bowling alleys, and other places of exercise or recreation
recreational facilities, such as zoos and parks
libraries, museums, and other places where items are collected or displayed publicly
educational institutions, and
social service centers, like senior centers, homeless shelters, and food banks.
The ADA establishes a civil right to bring your service animal into a public accommodation. Michigan's service animal law is included in its penal code, which makes it a misdemeanor to deny you and your service animal access to public accommodations.

If the tasks your service animal performs for you aren't obvious, the public accommodation can ask you only two things:

whether the animal is a service animal, and
what tasks it does for you.

The facility can't do any of the following:

ask about or require documentation of your disability
require documentation of your animal's status or training, or
require a demonstration of the tasks your animal does for you.
A public accommodation can ask that your service animal be removed from the premises if it isn't housebroken or it's out of control and you're not controlling it effectively. If this happens, you're still entitled to use the accommodation without your service animal. You can't be asked to remove your animal because others are allergic to or afraid of the animal.

Under the law, your service animal must be under your control and wearing a harness, leash, or other tether (unless your disability prevents you from using one or it would interfere with the animal's ability to do its job). A public accommodation can't isolate you from other customers, treat you differently, or charge you a fee because you use a service animal.

Educate Yourselves. But I am happy to spend my money elsewhere.

The staff was helpful and welcoming. A lot of seating options. Inside was clean and neat. Outdoors had covered seating, picnic tables, and bubble seating. Good selection of beers and wines. Reasonable prices for a small batch facility. The only thing I would ask for was a larger pour with the flight selections. I feel like I couldn't get a good taste with the pour provided. Highly recommend.

Very nice spot, very tastefully decorated. Yummy ciders, nice staff, immaculate bathrooms!
