Southwestern Michigan's Wine Country
Wine Country Tour
Showy as an Easter parade, spring marches along the southern Lake Michigan shore and inland across orchards and vineyards.
Apple and cherry trees bloom soon after breezes blow warm and long before crowds converge on this popular summer vacation area. Stroll Lake Michigan beaches, tour area wineries and explore still-sleepy hamlets in the perfect weather.
In late spring, white and pale-pink blooms seem to bow the branches of trees striping the hillsides around St. Joseph (60 miles southwest of Grand Rapids). From this pretty port, our 160-mile drive takes you through corridors of blossoms to friendly main streets and other spots where you'll want to linger.
