Entertainment will be provided by The Fabulous Horndogs from noon until 3:00 pm followed by James Armstrong from 3:00 pm until 6:00 pm. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the afternoon listening to great music, drinking local wines and enjoying food provided by local vendors. There will even be chocolate on site! For those of you who enjoy a good cigar with your wine, you will have that opportunity as well.
The festival runs from noon until 6:00 pm in Haserot Park in Northport. Admission is $10 which includes a commemorative wine glass and two tasting tickets. Additional tasting tickets will be available for $2 each. Admission for non-drinkers is $5 each. Come early so you can also enjoy the annual Dog Parade in downtown Northport.

Can we bring in a small (18lb) beagle into the park agea during the tasting after the dog parade?
Ed,
Please contact the Leelanau Chamber regarding your question. While LPVA member wines will be poured this is not one of the events we organize. We do however happily promote it as it is great time for all!

Enjoyed the Toast the Season wine tour again this year, but we were disappointed with the bag of goodies. Please bring back the glass ornaments at each winery and grapevine baskets or wreaths. Half the fun is collecting the ornaments from each winery. Thanks again for all your efforts in hosting these events each year!
