NEW COMMERCIAL LISTING, 8725 WATER STREET, MONTAGUE, MI 49437
If you are local to the White Lake Area, you probably already know this building as Stoney Ridge Tasting Room & Restaurant Montague.
As Stoney Ridge Vineyards & Winery continues to thrive in Kent City, the owners are CRUSHING IT 🍇 and focusing more of their time and energy where the grapes are growing and the winery operation is rooted.
🍷🏆And they have plenty to celebrate! 🏆🍷
Stoney Ridge was just named 2026 Winery of the Year in the Taste Michigan Governor’s Cup Competition, a huge recognition for this locally grown winery and the momentum they are building in Kent City!
Both locations have become known for Stoney Ridge wines paired with chef created special menus, and the Montague location has been transformed into a complete restaurant, tasting room and event experience.
From 2024 through 2026, the interior of 8725 Water St. was completely transformed through a full scale remodel, creating the restaurant, tasting room, commercial kitchen, built in bar and finished event space you see today. This was not a cosmetic refresh. It was a substantial reinvention of the interior for modern hospitality use.
The approximately 4,000 square foot property offers:
• Restaurant seating for 50 guests, including 10 seats at the built in bar
• A separate finished event space with capacity for 49 guests
• 99 person total flexible indoor capacity
• A substantial, well equipped commercial kitchen
• Built in bar and wine service area
• Dining furniture, event furnishings and substantial agreed furniture, fixtures and equipment
• Three public restrooms with accessible facilities, including one with a shower
• Strong visibility along busy Water Street
• Approximately 10 on site parking spaces, plus convenient nearby city and public parking
And then there is a favorite feature that someone may expand on in the near future....
The event space has a large access garage door that opens directly onto Weathervane Lane, putting a future owner right in the middle of creating downtown energy and all kinds of possibilities for dining, private parties, live music, special events, pop up experiences and community gatherings. (GO SEE THE MURAL ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING!)
Because this community KNOWS how to gather!!!
The White Lake Area is home to the Cruz’In Classic Car Parade & Show, Maritime Festival, farmers markets, artisan markets, summer concerts, holiday parades, fireworks and community events throughout the year. White Lake is just a block away, Lake Michigan beaches are nearby, and downtown Montague continues to draw both residents and visitors.
Imagine what the next owner could create here.,,,
A new restaurant concept.
Private events.
Live entertainment.
Special dinners.
Community gatherings.
A fresh hospitality concept.
And hey, maybe even the standout breakfast place Montague has been waiting for!
