We are excited to announce “LPVA Second Fridays” that offer you a chance to experience our award-winning wines and unique tasting rooms after hours on the second Friday night of every month. These special evenings will be held from 5-8 PM and each will feature a fun & unique theme.

“We think that our Second Fridays will give folks in the area a chance to have a little fun at the end of the work week by visiting their friendly local wineries,” said Larry Mawby. “Leelanau is a short drive from Traverse City, so pop on out!”

Ciccone Vineyards Tasting Room Manager Jaclyn Eikey added “This is not business as usual – I think we’re all looking forward to creating an exclusive opportunity for intimate evenings at our tasting rooms. We have so much variety that I know everyone will find something new & fun!”
