This year will bring an extraordinary culinary journey celebrating The Flavors That Built America in honor of our nation\u2019s 250th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p>This celebrated weekend shines a spotlight on the creativity and talent of exceptional female chefs from across the country. Guided by this year\u2019s theme, The Flavors That Built America, our chefs will craft a menu that spans the nation\u2019s diverse culinary landscape from coastal to heartland, from humble beginnings to haute cuisine. Each course will honor the ingredients, stories, and pioneering spirit that have shaped 250 years of American independence, innovation, and community.<\/p>\n<p>Complementing these inspired creations, guests will explore exceptional global wines thoughtfully paired with each course, along with curated cheese tastings that highlight the art of pairing and balance. Together, these experiences tell a story of connection and how food and wine have brought people together in America across generations, cultures, and continents to share in the enduring joy of the table.<\/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>All resort amenities<\/li>\n<li>Friday welcome reception<\/li>\n<li>Custom welcome amenity<\/li>\n<li>Saturday cooking event<\/li>\n<li>Saturday afternoon wine tasting<\/li>\n<li>Special Saturday reception and dinner with wine pairings<\/li>\n<li>Sunday morning brunch and panel discussion<\/li>\n<li>Admission to the Richard &amp; Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Cork &amp; Fork Culinary Weekend package can also be booked by calling Grand Hotel Reservations at 1-800-334-7263.<\/p>\n<p>View Grand Hotel<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandhotel.com\/our-story\/policies-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0Policies and Information &gt;&gt;<\/a> to learn more about our evening dress code, luggage process, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&lt;&gt;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandhotel.com\/packages\/2026-cork-fork\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Visit Grand Hotel Website &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&lt;&gt;<\/p>\n<h2>Grand Hotel On Facebook<\/h2>\n<p>Below are the latest postings from the Grand Hotel Page On Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>&lt;&gt;<\/p>\n<div style=\"max-width: 500px;\">\n<div class=\"fb-page\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grandhotel\/\" data-tabs=\"timeline\" data-width=\"400\" data-height=\"2000\" data-small-header=\"true\" data-adapt-container-width=\"true\" data-hide-cover=\"false\" data-show-facepile=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"fb-xfbml-parse-ignore\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grandhotel\/\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grandhotel\/\">Grand Hotel<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&lt;&gt;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandhotel.com\/packages\/2026-cork-fork\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Visit Grand Hotel Website &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&lt;&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Available Friday, October 16, 2026 &#8211; Sunday, October 18, 2026\nWe invite you to experience the 2026 Cork &amp; Fork Culinary Weekend.
