The Hunt for the Reds of October – Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail – All October


In your hunt for the reds this October, find elegant, bold, and high-quality red wine in a picturesque setting on the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, during The Hunt for the Reds of October wine event.

Here is where red wine was meant to be enjoyed – surrounded by the crisp and vibrant beauty of autumn in Northern Michigan, at the peak of fall colors. While the leaves change to orange and amber, cozy up with the incredible red varietals that this region has to offer, including well-balanced Cabernet Francs, rich and full Cabernet Sauvignons, complex Pinot Noirs, and velvety Merlots.

🍂🍷 Ticket holders will receive a pour of red wine hand-selected by the wine makers themself along with $10 in ‘cork cash’ which can be used at any of the partcipating wineries! (exclusions on purchases may apply)

Plan a leisurely visit on your own schedule, instead of being locked into a single weekend! 🍷🍂

***
While each ticket holder can travel along the peninsula at their own pace, reservations are highly recommended and may be required for larger groups, as space at each winery is limited.
