Warming Up on the Frostbite Trail

Jan. 18, 2025

Antrim and Charlevoix counties have teamed up once again to present their annual Frostbite Trail, a “winter flask, cask, and fork experience” that brings together local businesses to offer small-bite tastings alongside pours of Michigan-made wine, cider, beer, and spirits. The culinary adventure begins this weekend on Jan. 25 with the first of four events running from 12-6pm. Saturday’s theme is “Comfort Food,” which will be followed by “Sweet n Spicy” on Feb. 22, “Italian” on March 8, and BBQ on April 12. Participating businesses include Folklor Wine & Cider, Blu Dot Farm & Vineyard, Bier’s Inwood Brewery, Royal Farms Farm Market and Winery, Cellar 1914, Spare Key Winery, Lost Cellars, Ethanology Distillation, and King Orchards. There are no advance tickets—pay as you go at each stop. Get all the details at frostbitetrail.com.
