Life is meant to be savored. You're reminded at every stop along a special trail winding through the hills and valleys surrounding Harbor Country. It's the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail, 11 wineries where you can appreciate the moment as much as the wine. Tour our vineyards, enjoy our tasting rooms and discover a passion and craft that is alive and well along the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail.
Spend a few days exploring Harbor Country, a treasure of lakeside towns, shabby-chic shops, countryside communities, charming B&Bs and world-class wineries. And discover that just as wine gets better with age, so does the experience. It's time to pour yourself a glass of Pure Michigan.
