With restrictions surrounding COVID-19 starting to loosen up, we have some fun and exciting events coming up that will help you kick off summer.

Courtney Sheffer with the  brings us the details on What’s Happening in Northern Michigan.

The Traverse is now offering sails on Grand Traverse Bay aboard the Tall Ship Manitou, and the Sailing Yacht Scout. These are immersive experiences, where you’ll be able to explore the ship, help the crew raise sail, and take a turn at the wheel. They offer day sails and sunset cruises, plus special options like wine tasting and Moomer’s Ice Cream Sails. Along with other safety measures, they’ve reduced capacity on their ships, so you’ll want to make sure to book your space ahead of time.

Wine Dinners are back at in Traverse City, and are now being served al fresco! Join them for a delicious 5 course wine dinner, prepared in-house by their talented chef. You’ll be seated outdoors on their beautiful west patio for dinner, featuring picturesque views of the vineyard, back dropped by the crystal blue water of West Grand Traverse Bay. Wine Dinners are offered Wednesdays and Saturdays during June, with plans for more availability as summer goes on. Chateau Chantal will be following enhanced safety protocols during the wine dinners for the safety of their guests and servers.
