All About Fall Color

From GT Resort to Downtown Suttons Bay

Oct. 11, 2025

These days, there’s no shortage of fall fun, and the leaves are putting on a true show. Here are two unique ways to see a different side of autumn. The Fall Artisan & Wine Walk wanders through Suttons Bay Friday, Oct. 17, from 5-8pm. Shop local art, sample fall fare and refreshments, and admire the juxtaposition of the charming town, the blue lake, and the spectacular trees all around. (suttonsbaychamber.com/fall-artisan-wine-walk) Or head to the top of Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, where Aerie Restaurant & Lounge is hosting a fall color lunch on two upcoming Saturdays, Oct. 18 and 25. See the view from 16 stories up and enjoy a special menu—baked brie, butternut squash soup, crab cakes, caramel apple tarte tatin, just to name a few items—from 11am-2pm.
