Leelanau Peninsula has become well-known for its Riesling and other cool-climate white varietals and blends. What is often overlooked, however, are the high-quality red wines being grown in the region.
To help get beneath the surface, the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail hosts a fun event to explore and discover great red wines of Leelanau Peninsula. The Hunt for the Reds of October takes place weekdays (Monday through Friday) during the month of October.
For the entire month of October, your ticket gets you a complimentary pour at each of more than 20 participating wineries offering diverse red wines: big and bold Cabernet Francs and Merlots, aromatic and spicy Pinot Noirs and many more.
Below are the latest postings from the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail Page On Facebook.

‘End of Season’ Sales & Refreshments ~
Saturday, October 22, 2016 • 10am-6pm
Great shopping deals Downtown and in Fishtown, with many businesses offering free refreshments! This is the ‘last chance’ for a few Fishtown businesses that close for the season after the 22nd. – Plan to have lunch, dinner or just grab an awesome cup of coffee at our dining and specialty food establishments, walk the beach, take in the seasonal color and perhaps see one of our amazing Leland Harbor sunsets. See you on Saturday!
After you’ve had a good night’s rest and a delicious breakfast, we’ll take you to four of Leelanau’s wineries.
You’ll meet the winemakers, sample and discuss their wines and purchase what you wish. Come evening you’ll enjoy a winemakers’ dinner for which Chef John Piombo and the winemaker will prepare a menu with wine pairings for a five course meal.
After a leisurely Sunday morning breakfast, you’ll take your memories and wines home. From $152 per person, per night, based on double occupancy.
Students will create a series of 3 to 9 small paintings on a specific subject. These works will be mounted on a full sheet of watercolor paper with related wash painted on it. The subject could be a barn. Each small painting is a view or detail of it. These are arranged on a large paper prepared with a wash of barn texture. Other suggestions are trees (leaves, twigs, blossoms, etc.) birds, animals, fish, people, etc.Edee encourages originality and will demonstrate many of her traditional as well as innovative ways of creating beautiful effects with watercolor. In-depth critiques along with color and design instruction make an Edee Joppich workshop an invaluable opportunity for serious painters at every level of experience.

Edee’s work is in corporate and private collections. She is a signature member of the International Society of Experimental Artists. www.edeejoppich.com.
