(GRAND RAPIDS, Mich) — For the past 10 years, Michigan wineries have played an integral role in the Grand Rapids International Wine, Beer & Food Festival. This year, the newly-formed Traverse Wine Coast—featuring wineries from both Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas—are making their presence known in a big way, November 16-18 at DeVos Place in downtown Grand Rapids.
The Traverse Wine Coast is home to two of Michigan’s five American Viticulture Areas (AVAs), situated within northwest Michigan’s premier grape-growing region (one being the Leelanau Peninsula and the other the Old Mission Peninsula). Thirty-five wineries are located within diverse microclimates uniquely suited for a variety of wine grapes; 20 of those wineries will be in Grand Rapids for this year’s Festival (see list below) on display in the south end of The Vineyard (Steelcase Ballroom).

October 9, 2017 (Traverse City, MI) - Wineries of Northwest Michigan, the state’s premier grape growing region, have strategically combined forces for a new initiative to create a brand that best showcases the high quality wines being grown in the area.
“Promoting our wine region as one and connecting it to the Traverse City brand will have a huge impact moving forward,” shares Trevor Tkach, President and CEO of Traverse City Tourism. “We have a fantastic wine region that stands out among other regions across the country, not only for the high quality wines we are growing here but also for everything else that goes with it - a beautiful region, one of the top foodie towns and our outdoor recreation.”
In partnership with TC Tourism, Traverse Wine Coast launched its first Traverse City Uncorked event which showcased myriad events across the region during the month of May, which is Michigan Wine Month. The event was a huge success in its inaugural year and will take place again in May of 2018.
