    Are tickets available for Sunday only? If so how do I order?

  4. Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association says:

    Hi Joan – they are only two day tickets and you can do 8 wineries per day.

    Even for one day it is a good deal, with a cost of $2.50 per winery for two days or $5 for one day!

  5. Glenn Mayer says:

    Can tickets be purchased on Saturday? We have ours but my sister may or may not be coming. Also can the pick-up point be changed? We changed our lodging plans and are now closer to another winery.

  6. Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association says:

    Hi Glenn – tickets are selling quickly but it looks like we might have some available on Saturday.

    You can change your starting location – just email us the name you purchased tickets under and what winery you want to start at!
