The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail is set to host an exciting new event called "Wine with a Twist" from May 2 to May 4. This event invites visitors to explore nearly 20 wineries nestled between Lake Michigan and West Grand Traverse Bay, right along the 45th Parallel, known for its distinct wine offerings.

During the event, participants can indulge in a unique tasting experience that pairs traditional wine pours with creative craft cocktails. Open from noon to 5 p.m. each day, wineries will offer various wine-based cocktails, from bubbly sangrias to rosé spritzers and bold red wine margaritas.

Tickets for the event are priced at $35 per person, which includes a tasting at each participating winery and $10 in "Cork Cash" that can be used for bottle purchases. For those wishing to attend only on Sunday, a reduced ticket price of $25 is available, including $5 in Cork Cash.

Andie Hobbins, managing director of the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, emphasizes the importance of having fun and pushing the boundaries of traditional wine tasting. The event promises to be a delightful weekend adventure for both wine enthusiasts and casual explorers. Attendees are encouraged to gather their friends, plan their stay, and prepare to enjoy a fresh take on the region’s acclaimed wines.
