Vibrant vineyards and cozy nooks

Autumn is crisp cool air, the fragrant blends of burning wood and falling leaves and, most decisively, vibrant Tuscan-colored vineyards.Gather friends for a wine tour through Michigan wine trails that weave through vineyards bursting with juicy golden and purple grapes prime for harvest. The season is ripe for your visit: bustling with activity and a bountiful of wines that appeal to all... dry, full-bodied reds and crisp, oaky whites to super sweet dessert wines and fruit-infused aperitifs.These cozy stops on and off the wine trails make it easy to prolong your stay:

Boathouse Restaurant, Old Mission Peninsula
Shady Lane Cellars, Suttons Bay
Kevin's Tavern inside Warner Vineyards, Paw Paw
Tabor Hill Winery & Restaurant, Buchanan
Sandhill Crane Vineyards, JacksonFar removed from wine trails, yet worth a visit:
Enoteca Campo Marzio, a cozy wine bar in downtown Detroit
