Our 2010 Toast the Season wine trail tour takes place over the next two weekends (Nov 6&7 and November 13&14). There are a few tickets remaining, and in addition to wine & food pairings at the wineries of the trail, attendees receive a wine tote gift bag with a 2010 holiday ornament and food & drink from members of Sleeping Bear Gourmet, a local association whose members feature fair-trade and organic products.
Comprised of small family owned and operated businesses, Sleeping Bear Gourmet members all share common values that represent the highest gourmet standard in each respective category as well as common commitment to sustainable business practices. Timothy Fitzgerald Young of Food For Thought says “We’re excited to participate in Toast the Season. It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the rich culinary heritage of this region and aligns perfectly with Sleeping Bear Gourmet’s commitment to a local food economy.”
