Vino Madness on Leelanau Peninsula

March 9, 2024

If beer—green or otherwise—isn’t up your alley on St. Patrick's Day, opt for wine instead. The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail is celebrating the first weekend of March Madness with Vino Madness, a food-and-wine pairing event that puts award-winning wines (and ciders) with everyday snacks. Think: Pizza and a semi-sweet white. Hunter sausage with a red blend. Bagel chips, spinach dip, and dry cider. Or even a beer cheese with a refreshing sparkling wine. Choose from 14 participating wineries along the peninsula, and see where your bracket takes you! Vino Madness runs March 16 and 17 from 12pm to 5pm each day. Food and tasting tickets are $25 (plus fees) per person per winery. Reservations are encouraged for large parties. Learn more at lpwines.com/vinomadness and buy tickets at mynorthtickets.com
