Wine has been a part of the Michigan’s history since the late 1600s. However, the current trend of smaller individual wineries have been growing and developing since the mid-1970s and have lead to a robust wine industry in Michigan making winery tours a popular summer activity.
Jeremy Witt, from the West Michigan Tourist Association, stopped by the station to talk about some of the many West Michigan wineries area residents can visit. Some of the highlights are Round Barn Winery, which is an iconic stop on the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail; Old Mission Peninsula located in the Traverse City area; and Castle Farms which recently opened the 1918 Cellar Wines Tasting Room.
