Join us for a mesmerizing evening at the "Sunset on The Coast - Traverse Wine Coast Inaugural Gala," a premier event celebrating the distinct flavors and vibrant culture of northern Michigan's wine country. Scheduled for July 12th from 6 pm to 10 pm, this exquisite gala takes place in the heart of our beloved wine region, uniquely positioned on the 45th parallel, where the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas stretch into the massive waters of Lake Michigan.

Our wine country is a testament to the extraordinary climatic effects of Lake Michigan, providing a maritime influence that nurtures our vineyards and shapes the character of our wines. This special microclimate allows for the production of fruit-forward, exciting, and beautifully balanced wines, capturing the essence of our regional terroir. As the evening unfolds, guests will be treated to a cocktail hour followed by a multi-course gourmet wine pairing dinner, each dish thoughtfully crafted to complement our locally produced wines. The night will be filled with the sounds of live music, creating the perfect backdrop to enjoy a beautiful Michigan evening.

This gala is not just an event; it's a celebration of the optimal expressions of winemaking that our two distinguished wine trails, the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas, proudly offer. It's a tribute to the maritime influence of the Great Lakes, especially Lake Michigan, which not only benefits the grapes but also enchants the people who visit and call this place home. Whether you're a wine aficionado, a lover of gourmet cuisine, or simply in search of an enchanting evening, the "Sunset on The Coast" gala promises an unforgettable experience amidst the picturesque beauty of Traverse Wine Coast. Join us as we toast to the magic of our region, its people, and the wines that make northern Michigan a treasure on the wine world map.
