A 30 minute drive from Niles, New Buffalo is a small little beach town with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. We have traveled here many times for long weekends with both of our families. You can spend the day at the beach and end the night at some of our favorite spots - Beer Church Brewing Co. for dinner, Casey's for a drink, and Oinks for ice cream!
Dablon Vineyards & Winery is one of the many local wineries in the Southwest Michigan. It is also the spot where we got engaged, so it holds a special place in our hearts! It is recognized as one of the top ten wine tasting rooms in the United States. It's a perfect place to stop by for a bite to eat and have a glass of wine!
One of our more recent favorite's in the area, Farina's Supper Club is an Italian restaurant located just 5 minutes away from the shores of Lake Michigan. They serve up one of the best dirty martinis and have a great outdoor patio. Get a drink at the bar, enjoy a great dinner, then take a walk to the beach to catch the sunset!
