2024 The Frostbite Trail- A Winter Cask, Flash, and Fork Tasting Experience at WaterFire Vineyards

Back again this year is a winter tasting and food experience that runs throughout Antrim and Charlevoix Counties. Eleven businesses have joined forces to create a uniquely themed small bite food tasting with a 2 oz wine or a tasting pour of cider/beer. This trail runs once a month throughout the winter of 2024 on the designated dates from 12-6 PM. Each location can offer extended hours, so please check with them if you'd like to visit outside the 12-6 time frame.

It is $12 per person at each location. You will pay as you go at each stop; no advance ticketing is needed. Dates and food themes are as follows:

January 13th: Handhelds
