Debuting in 2025, this inaugural five-day August festival quickly established itself as Northern Michigan's marquee food and wine event, pairing the Traverse Wine Coast's 40+ wineries with James Beard Award winners, Food Network personalities, and rising culinary talent. The Grand Tasting — held at Open Space Park along West Grand Traverse Bay — features 100+ beers, wines, and beverages alongside small bites from Traverse City-area restaurants. Celebrity chef dinners, vineyard estate dinners on the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas, and a vineyard 5K complete the week.
