Festive November Escapes

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.
