“The Midwest may be the last place many wine drinkers think of when seeking their next bottle. But consider Michigan, the Great Lakes State, as perhaps the country’s “third coast.” It’s a region where the soils, climate, and grapes come together for wines as crisp and inviting as the blue-green waters of Lake Michigan.”

“Traverse City, Michigan, is celebrated for its cool-climate wines, particularly its Rieslings and Chardonnays. The proximity to Lake Michigan enhances grape quality, offering wines with crisp, fresh flavors.
Visitors can explore the area’s quaint wineries, often family-owned and operated. The city’s culinary scene is a bonus, with farm-to-table dining options that highlight local produce.”
