We're pre-empting this regularly scheduled Feedback Friday to solicit more suggestions about the Pioneer Wine Trail and Lake Michigan Shore Wine Country for our Get Me to the Grapes! Guides, online travel guides outlining "must see" and "must do" features around Michigan's wine trails. And all of the content will be fueled by YOU!
We often get questions from newbies who want advice for visiting Michigan's wine trails, and we started thinking ... Who better to advise them of the best food, accommodations and entertainment along the way than the people who spend the most time there? (Psst … that's YOU!)
In our initial push in October, we received TONS of recommendations for the northern wine trails (Leelanau, Old Mission). Now, we're hoping to get some great suggestions specifically from Lake Michigan Shore Wine Country, the SE Michigan Pioneer Wine Trail, and the smaller offshoot trails.
Read on for how you can get involved and help other wine lovers make the most of their trail travels!
We're seeking recommendations on:
- Lodging (including hotels, inns, B & Bs, campgrounds, cabins/cottages, etc.)
- Dining (ranging from hole-the-wall diners to upscale, fancy fare)
- Attractions/Entertainment (like museums, historic landmarks, theaters, unique shops, beaches, scenic sights, etc.)
- Other (various tips that might not fit into the other categories)
Just to clarify, we're not looking for winery recommendations here; we're focusing on all of the ancillary places along the wine trails.
Please send recommendations to cort@michiganbythebottle.com. When submitting an item, please put "Grapes Guide" in the subject line and include:
- Your first and last name and city of residence. (Please note that your name and city will appear on the GMTTG Guides.)
- The wine trail/area to which your recommendation pertains (i.e., "Old Mission Peninsula," "Pioneer Wine Trail," etc.).
- The name of the place/attraction you're recommending (preferably with a link to their website, but at the very least, a general crossroads and city).
- A description of at least one complete sentence (but the more detailed the better) of why you recommend this.
Feel free to email us at cort@michiganbythebottle.com with any questions. We're looking forward to the great discoveries ahead!
