Great Macaroni & Cheese Bake-Off – November 24, 2018

Saturday, November 24, 2018
10am-5pm

SOLD OUT
Tickets: $50 per person / $40 for designated driver.

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, America’s favorite comfort food gets an upgrade with help from celebrated Northern Michigan chefs. Nine top local restaurants each partner with one winery to create a perfect mac & cheese and wine pairing. Participants get to vote for the best pairing, cheesiest, and people’s choice. This annual event boasts friendly rivalries and has created its own loyal following. Don’t hesitate to purchase tickets, this event sells out every year!

Additional questions can be directed to Peninsula Cellars at 231.223.4050.

How it works:

Tickets go on sale September 26, 2018 at 9AM. Tickets include a souvenir glass and plate, a 3-ounce serving of gourmet Mac & Cheese at each of the nine wineries, plus at least 1.5-ounces of paired wines at each winery.

Designated Driver tickets are also available for purchase. DD ticket holders do not receive a souvenir glass, but do receive the souvenir plate, food, and non-alcoholic beverages.

When you purchase your ticket, you will choose your starting winery location. Your plate and souvenir wine glass will be waiting for you at this location. After you leave your chosen winery starting point, you can select which tasting rooms you would like to visit during the event, in the order of your preference.

If you would like to schedule and purchase transportation for your group, please click the link for Traverse City tour companies & transportation below. The wineries will not provide guests any type of transportation.

All event recipes will be emailed to ticket holders following the event. They will also be available on this website. While we aim to provide a diverse selection of recipes, we cannot guarantee that recipes will meet the dietary restrictions of all guests.

The Wineries of Old Mission Peninsula encourage you to drink responsibly.

Tickets are non-refundable. Transportation not included in ticket price.

Join our annual season kick-off ski clinics! Northern Michigan Nordic Alum, Jordyn Ross, will lead this year’s clinic after hosting a truly awesome clinic last year. Jordyn has a keen eye for technique and a great coaching style, and brings fresh experience from one of the best training programs in the country: NMU. She also uses video feedback, which is highly useful in helping skiers improve technique.

After the ski clinic is our annual wax clinic at approximately 4:30pm. After an Olympic year, you can be sure that there will be a lot of new waxing tips and techniques to learn! This clinic is appropriate for racers as well as recreational skiers, and will cover waxing technique for skating and classic. There is no charge for this clinic.

The XC SKI HQ Team dinner follows the wax clinic, beginning at 6:00pm. Come join the 2004, ’07, ’08, ‘09, ’10 ’13, ’14, and 2015 Michigan Cup Champions (also the ’10, ’11 and 2013 Brumbaugh Cup Champions) in our annual kick-off potluck dinner. We’ll introduce new team members, talk about what’s new in the Michigan Cup this season, and hone in our strategy to bring home the cups this year. Other topics will include team training dates, and upcoming race info.

This event always ends up being a lot of fun, so even if you think you might only do one race this season, you are invited to come and enjoy this annual gathering of the most fun-loving skiers in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Don’t forget, we are very welcoming to new team members! Our team spans a wide range of age and ability, and members are always willing to help out fellow skiers.
