This one-of-a-kind scenic drive takes you along the Lake Michigan shoreline through the beautiful rolling landscape of Northern Michigan! Kylie and Taylor's favorite day Up North starts with an easy hike up the Empire Bluff, shopping in Glen Arbor at the M22 store and local galleries, lunch at The Cove in LeeLand, a cider (or two) in Sutton's Bay, and back to Traverse City to end the most perfect day!
"Located in northern Michigan on the 45th parallel, wine country boasts two unique peninsulas climatically moderated by the massive waters of Lake Michigan. The Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsula wine trails both provide optimal expressions of winemaking. Wines are very fruit forward, exciting and beautifully balanced.. owed to the maritime influence of the Great Lakes, especially Lake Michigan." Kylie and Taylor's favorite local wineries include: Big Little Wines, Left Foot Charley Wines, Mari Vineyards, and Bower's Harbor Vineyard.
