In your hunt for the reds this October, find elegant, bold, and high-quality red wine in a picturesque setting on the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, during The Hunt for the Reds of October wine event.
Here is where red wine was meant to be enjoyed – surrounded by the crisp and vibrant beauty of autumn in Northern Michigan, at the peak of fall colors. While the leaves change to orange and amber, cozy up with the incredible red varietals that this region has to offer, including well-balanced Cabernet Francs, rich and full Cabernet Sauvignons, complex Pinot Noirs, and velvety Merlots.
🍂🍷 Ticket holders will receive a pour of red wine hand-selected by the wine makers themself along with $10 in ‘cork cash’ which can be used at any of the partcipating wineries! (exclusions on purchases may apply)
Plan a leisurely visit on your own schedule, instead of being locked into a single weekend! 🍷🍂
***
While each ticket holder can travel along the peninsula at their own pace, reservations are highly recommended and may be required for larger groups, as space at each winery is limited.

This annual art fair takes place next to the beautiful Suttons Bay Marina Park on the first weekend of August (August 3 & 4, 2024, Sat. 10am – 5pm, Sun. 10am – 4pm). One hundred artists along with community groups, a community library book sale, food vendors and a children’s area make this the perfect place to spend an art-filled weekend at the beach.
A committee of volunteers oversees the selection of visiting artists and the distribution of funds generated by the event. Thousands of dollars have been contributed to local arts-related education projects. These include music and dance performances, artist in residence programs and scholarships for local art students. Starting last year Crooked Tree Arts Center has begun the process of managing the art fair. Over the next two years the transition will be completed. Artists and visitors will likely not notice the transition has taken place.
Come to Suttons Bay in August, participate – as an artist, as a shopper or as a volunteer. Join in the fun!
Step back in time at the Port Oneida Fair and experience life as it was in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Imagine the life of Euro-American immigrants as you help bale hay or watch a broom-maker at work. Learn about spinning, basket weaving, soap making, butter making, candle dipping, and fur trapping. Listen as park rangers and local historians share the area’s history. Watch as teams of oxen haul hay and artists and craftsmen demonstrate their skills.
The fair is held at six of the historic farmsteads in Port Oneida. Each farm has a variety of artists, crafts, food, and activities for visitors. Click on the farm names below to see what’s happening at each farm. A shuttle bus runs between the farms on a regular schedule during the fair, so you can park your car and easily get around to the different venues.
The Port Oneida Fair is presented by Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in partnership with Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear. To learn more about how you can help support the park, visit www.phsb.org.
