OUTDOOR ADVENTURE PACKAGE

Wine, Water, and Wheels!

We have the perfect package to get you outdoors to explore the water, farms, and beauty that only Northern Michigan Wine Country offers. This exclusive package will provide a day of biking, paddling, and sightseeing at your own pace through Leelanau County.

Bicycles will be ready for you at the back door of our Inn. You may also upgrade to an E-bike, which provides a little boost on the hills. The suggested adventure begins with a three-mile cycle along the Leelanau Trail into Suttons Bay, where you can enjoy the unique shops, galleries, and local ice cream in this quaint coastal village. At your leisure, head to Suttons Bay Bikes to pick up your picnic lunch provided by our Hearth & Vine Café to enjoy at the spacious beachfront park. Any time between 12-5 pm when you are ready to begin your adventure on the water, head to the same location to pick up your paddleboards or kayaks. Your water experience will include all the necessary equipment and a brief lesson, ensuring you have a fun, safe experience on the tranquil waters of the secluded bay. When not paddling, there is plenty to explore in the area by bike or foot. Return to the Inn for hospitality hour on the covered patio or grand front porch. If you seek a day of adventure and rural beauty combined with a winery escape, this is not to be missed!

Bikes will be available at the Inn between 9-10 am the morning of your tour.  You can choose to paddleboard or kayak at any time between the hours of 12-5 pm.  Bike rental is for 24 hours, allowing you to remain flexible and enjoy the day at your own pace.
