Join us for Taste the Passion – the SWEETEST event of the year!

Winter Wonderland is here, and there’s “snow” much fun to be had along the trail! Gather your friends and embark on an adventure of snow-covered vineyards and sweet & savory bites paired with amazing wine, a Snow Fun Photo Contest, pop-up shopping and the chance to create your own wintery bliss. This fun-filled winter celebration along the trail takes place Saturday from 11 – 5 and Sunday from 12 – 5.

Tickets are $40 per person* for both days and include a souvenir wine glass and delish Leelanau wine and food pairings at each of 24 participating wineries. After your featured pairing, most wineries offer an additional complimentary 2 to 3 tastes. Have a blast posting photos in our Snow Fun Photo Contest with the chance to win cool prizes, and shop for adorable upcycled wool mittens, hats and more at Baabaazuzu, Traverse Bay’s favorite eco-fashion winter accessory store! Baabaazuzu will feature hand-selected pieces at their pop-up shop, open exclusively at 45 North just for this event!

Whether you’re hand-in-hand with your valentine or traversing the trail with your gal pals, it’s sure to be an unforgettable blast!

Don’t want to drive? Find a willing friend and purchase an additional designated driver ticket for just $23. Your driver can still enjoy the food pairings while he/she takes you from winery to winery. You can also take your food & wine tour via bus or limo by contacting one of our transportation partners.
