It has been said that no matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. Join us on May 2nd & 3rd 2009, for the Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association's annual Spring Sip & Savor wine trail event. As our vineyards wake to the sun & warmth of May, we kick off the season with a brunch-themed wine and food pairing at each of the 17 wineries on the wine trail.
To get things started right we invite you to attend a complimentary Saturday morning coffee mixer at the Silver Tree Deli in Suttons Bay featuring premium blends from our local roasters.
For added fun, event participants are encouraged to keep their pajamas on when they set out in the morning and try to win one of the prizes that many of the wineries will be offering. The grand prize consists of two nights lodging at The Homestead in Glen Arbor during any season of the year (subject to availability), dinner for two with appetizers and desert at La Becasse in Maple City, Sunday brunch for two at the Bluebird in Leland, a wood fire pizza from Black Star Farms, perfect for lunch or light meal out on the trail and a fabulous gift basket filled with goodies.
Christopher Lopez, Manager at Black Star Farms adds: "How often have you sat down for breakfast in your pajamas and wondered, what wine goes best with eggs and bacon? My guess is not often enough. So come on in and show off your best or worst, set of pajamas and find your pairing. Because really, what goes better together than wine and pajamas."
Spring Sip & Savor has been designed to provide seasoned wine trail guests or first time visitors with a truly memorable experience that will allow them to celebrate spring, indulge their senses and learn more about Leelanau Peninsula wines. Most importantly it is an event that delivers fun!
Visit up to 8 wineries on Saturday from 11 to 5pm, and up to 8 on Sunday from noon to 5pm.
Tickets are just $30 and include wine and food pairings at each winery, a limited edition LPVA glass coffee cup and a $10 gift certificate, that can be used at any LPVA winery!
