10.21.2011 Michigan Wine Trail

For years I have been hearing about the wine trail in Southwest Michigan from my coworkers.  The trail includes 12-15 wineries with vineyard tours, tasting rooms, and winery tours.  I have always wanted to go and finally made plans with my sister and two of our friends to spend a leisurely fall day driving the back roads of Michigan stopping wherever our hearts desired. 

We had so much fun! We visited 6 wineries on the scenic route that was surrounded by the fall colors of changing leaves, vineyards and our new houses we picked out along the way (we'll let you know when we move up there)  :)  ... the trip included lunch at Tabor Hill Winery overlooking the vineyards, a bonus of a brewery at the Round Barn Winery, and a stop at an antique store in a barn we passed along way.  

We didn't even put a dent in the wineries that Michigan has to offer. You can get more information on the wine trail here:  Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail
