October brings grape harvest, beautifully colored leaves, and Halloween to northern Michigan. If you’re a Halloween fan and ready to be scared silly, come on out to the farm on any Friday or Saturday night (weather permitting) during October and join in on our Haunted Hayrides. They’ll leave between 6 and 9:30 from our Hearth & Vine Cafe. The price is $10 per person and they’re recommended for anyone over 12. Hearth & Vine will be open late with snacks, wine and hot cider available. Contact the Inn at 231.944.1251 for more information, and be be prepared for a spooky good time. Boo!

Hi!
I’m wondering if places have to be reserved ahead of time for this friday’s hayride. Do u go even if the weather isn’t cooperating? There would be 4 adults. Thanks!
Lauren
Hi Lauren,
The hayrides will leave from our Hearth & Vine Cafe between 6 and 9:30 – weather permitting. We’ll make the decision by mid-afternoon, so call 231.944.1251 if the weather seems iffy. Reservations are not necessary. The hayrides will be first come/first served, but the Cafe will be open with food and beverages available while you wait or after your ride.
I am wondering if this will be fun for 16 year old girls I am takin my neice out for her sweet 16th and want it to be fun
Hi, I am wondering if you have any hayrides that are not haunted. I have a young son who would love a hayride but not the scary stuff.
Thanks,
Erin
Could you tell me what activities you will be planning for Thanksgiving weekend like hayrides or family activities? Thank you.
Hey there,
how spooky it is? we have 4 people interested to go actually.
Best,
Chandler
How is it haunted? Is it scary!? Thanks for any details you can provide…
About how long do the hayrides last?
The haunted hayrides take about 20-25 minutes, and are loaded on a first come/first served basis from our Hearth & Vine Cafe. They are kinda spooky, but fun for anyone over 12.
At this time we have no “unhaunted” hayrides planned, and nothing special in the works for Thanksgiving weekend at the farm. Our Tasting Room on Old Mission Peninsula will be part of the annual Mac & Cheese wine tour on Saturday, November 28th.
