Get a head start on warm weather fun and join us for our annual Spring Sip & Savor wine trail event. This is a great event for those who like to room to roam while out exploring the wineries & vineyards.
The event will kickoff with a complimentary Saturday morning mixer featuring coffee from Higher Grounds, tea from Light of Day and bakery items from 9-10:30 at the Silver Tree Deli in Suttons Bay .
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 Higher Grounds Coffee, Light of Day Tea, Chocolate Covered Cherries and 2 Harvest Stompede Tickets.
Some of the individual PJ contest themes at the wineries include:
Bel Lago – Most Eye Opening

Gosh, I wish you would have told us the PJ theme earlier. We've had our tickets since February and already planned our PJ's. Eight of us are in matching pants and embroidered tops fitting none of the themes. Oh well!
Juanita,
Keep in mind, there is also a Grand Prize, which is a people's choice. So you still have a chance to win!! Good luck and have fun!
Hello,
I was given one free ticket to the Spring Event when I purchased two tickets for your event last February. Can you tell me if I have one in my name? I'd like to register it for L. Mawby.
Thanks!
You write very well.
Do you still have many tickets left to Spring Sip & Savor? I have some in my group who are still uncertain – if they wait to purchase a ticket until next week do you think you will still have availability? Thanks
So excited for sip and savor! I hear it's going to be a bit rainy on Saturday.
