Poppin’ Corks at the Casino

May 20, 2023

Michigan Wine Month—the time of year where we have an extra excuse to indulge in a glass of NoMi’s finest—is still cruising along in Leelanau County, and the cherry on top of the May festivities has to be the Leelanau Vintners Celebration. This special wine pairing event is held at Leelanau Sands Casino on Saturday, May 27, and offers food and drink duos from Good Harbor Vineyards, Aurora Cellars, Verterra Winery, French Valley Vineyard, Bel Lago Vineyard Winery, Amoritas Vineyards, 45 North Vineyard & Winery, and Boathouse Restaurant. Singer/songwriter Elizabeth Landry will be on hand to entertain. Tickets are $30 per person and give you access to five food and wine pairings. You can also purchase additional tickets for wine by the glass ($4 each) and a souvenir wine glass ($7) for your collection. For more details and tickets, head to leelanausandscasino.com or call (231) 534-8207.
