Traverse City Food & Wine: Regenerative Farming Vineyard Tour, with Ducks!

Ease into your day with a one-of-a-kind vineyard experience that starts with a gentle walk through the Dune Bird vineyard estate, accompanied by a lively flock of Indian runner ducks. These quirky vineyard helpers play an important role in regenerative farming practices—naturally managing pests and weeds without chemicals.

Along the way, learn about the vineyard’s commitment to sustainability and how they care for the land that grows four estate varietals: Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot.

After visiting the ducks and the grounds, return to the tasting room for a thoughtfully curated wine tasting, paired with locally baked goods and a selection of locally curated cheeses.

Whether you're a wine lover, nature enthusiast, or just looking for a beautiful start to the day—this is a relaxed, enriching experience you’ll want to share.
