The crisp autumn air and rolling landscapes invite leisurely drives – or even a bicycle tour – through the scenic countryside.  Along the way, stop at tasting rooms for samples of Michigan’s fruit of the vine.

You can tour individual wineries, take to one of the Michigan wine trails, or attend an upcoming tasting event. Plan to stay a while and check into one of the winery Bed & Breakfast inns in the Grand Traverse Region.

The very walkable downtown is jam-packed with more than 90 restaurants, clubs, theaters and museums — and every autumn, it hosts 250,000 artists and spectators for ArtPrize, the world’s richest art competition. Food is an art form here, too. A top-notch culinary school and endless agricultural bounty set the table for first-class farm-to-table dining throughout the city, while local craft breweries and coffee shops garner national acclaim.  

This cosmopolitan cool is matched by an equally impressive outdoor élan: Grand Rapids offers great golf courses, fishing spots, hiking and biking trails, even downhill skiing. Plus, the city is just minutes away from the sugar-sand beaches of Lake Michigan!
