Everything begins here. For over fifty years, we have been students of this land, and the more we learn, the more questions we have. Today, we farm at a level of detail that would have been unimaginable three generations ago. And yet, every harvest reveals more about the singular characteristics of each individual vineyard block, and the vine rows within it. Our awe for this place, and its unending complexity, is undiminished and we hope that you can taste the vineyard and the vintage in the wines that we craft. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trefethen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"package__content-group\">\n<h2 class=\"package__sub-title \">Package Includes:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wysiwyg\">\n<ul>\n<li>Grand Hotel accommodations<\/li>\n<li>Breakfast and dinner daily<\/li>\n<li>Welcome Amenity<\/li>\n<li>Friday evening Welcome Reception<\/li>\n<li>Saturday afternoon wine tastings with food pairings and a culinary demonstration<\/li>\n<li>Saturday Pre Dinner Reception<\/li>\n<li>Saturday Evening Pairing Dinner (adults only)<\/li>\n<li>Admission to the Richard &amp; Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Fall Wine Appreciation Weekend package can also be booked by calling Grand Hotel Reservations at 1-800-334-7263.<\/p>\n<p>View Grand Hotel\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandhotel.com\/our-story\/policies-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Policies and Information &gt;&gt;<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about our evening dress code, luggage process, and more.<\/p>\n<p>View the <strong>Tentative\u00a0Agenda<\/strong>\u00a0below.
