Michigan Vineyards: Winter Wonderland Dark and chartreuse grapes dangling from lush grapevines and fiery, golden leaves draw us to the vineyards at harvest time. What better time to visit the vineyards than in the fall, right? We agree; though, don't miss the season where stark vines contrast beautifully to the winter wonderland that greets us after a fresh snowfall. There's nothing like snowshoeing through a wintry vineyard where solitude and a sense of peacefulness envelop you as you trek through rows of vines. Warm up in the tasting room afterward, sipping on wines that reflect the diverse climate and terroir of our Great Lakes state. (Follow Lorri's lead and sip Chateau Chantal wine by the Inn's fireplace.) We promise you'll have much more elbow room in the off-season.Plan your winter escape today to Chateau Chantal, Chateau Grand Traverse or Black Star Farms to the northwest or to Hickory Creek to the southwest. All offer places to stay on their estates. Happy winter!
