Savor the season with some (early) holiday cheer, whether your mood calls for delectable food-tasting, toasting with friends, waltzing the night away—or a little bit of all three!
Raise your glass
Home to 26 wineries and ample options for cozy lodging, the Leelanau Peninsula hits the spot for late-fall festive getaways. Two consecutive weekends—Nov. 4–5, Nov. 11–12—celebrate tasty holiday fare and delicious drink along the wine trail. Tickets to Toast the Season include featured wine and food pairing at 20+ wineries, souvenir wine glass and holiday gift. Special nondrinking/designated driver food tickets are available for $25. Book a stay at nearby Black Star Farms, where seasonally inspired local harvest dinner ($100/person) takes place on designated dates throughout the fall, including the evening of Nov. 11. Need space for a larger group? Stay in one of the two-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom historic Stone Schoolhouse condos in Suttons Bay, walking distance to hiking trails, shopping and restaurants. LPWINES.COM.
