Depart for the Old Mission Peninsula, and enjoy an afternoon of winery
tours and tastings. The deep waters of Lake Michigan nearly encircle Old
Mission Peninsula, tempering the surrounding air temperatures,

growing season. This unique microclimate allows the successful growth of
fruit in a climate otherwise considered unsuitable for delicate vines.

followed by the multiple medal-winning Brys Estate. Chateau Chantal is
next, with its breathtaking views of East and West Bays. Continuing up
the peninsula you will stop for a photo op at the Old Mission
Lighthouse, then begin the trip back down the peninsula, making a stop
at family-run Bower’s Harbor, and lastly, Chateau Grand Traverse,
with it’s 100% European vinifera vineyards. Space is limited.
Price is $50 per person and includes transportation and admission to all
wineries and attractions.
