Crane's Pie Pantry, Restaurant & Winery

Gold Coast


Buy a bulging slice of fruit pie, or pick apples and peaches in the surrounding orchards. Crane's also makes hard ciders and wines (the sauvignon blanc wins praise). Tastings are available for $5 per four samples. You can even get a pie flight ($7), which consists of four small slices served in little jars.

Crane's is in Fennville, 3 miles south of Saugatuck on the Blue Star Hwy, then 4 miles inland on Hwy 89. It also operates a tasting bar in downtown Saugatuck that pours its wines and ciders.
