We are excited to partner with Synchronicity Gallery of Glen Arbor to blend plein air painting with your next trip to wine country! Plein air painting, which means "in the open air" in French, involves painting outdoors while directly observing and capturing a scene's natural light and atmosphere on canvas. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to watch artists as they capture the beauty of our unique estate in real time!

Featured artists: Mark Mahaffey, Sandy Ackerman, and Pam Spicer 

In addition, we will have a collection of paintings by Michigan artists on display in the tasting room for you to view and purchase.

Please note: Plein air painting is weather dependent.

Traverse-area wines are fast becoming a hot topic among global wine critics and collectors, so now is the time for the wider world to get in the know. Its moderating cool climate and lakeside location—along with soils rich from vast, ancient glacial deposits— is a perfect haven for wines of balance, elegance, and ageability. From refined, acid-driven Rieslings to vibrant reds like Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and more, in this lively seminar and interactive tasting, JamesSuckling.com journalist, former Wine Enthusiast Editor-in-Chief and Traverse City native Susan Kostrzewa will talk through different expressions of top-rated wine varieties from the Old Mission Peninsula and Leelanau Peninsula AVA’s, with additional commentary from selected winemakers whose skills and insights are putting Michigan wines on the map.
