Winery Tour from Chicago to Southwest Michigan

Join us for a winery tour through Southwest Michigan, complete with lunch and round-trip transportation from downtown Chicago.

After a two-hour drive to Michigan wine country aboard a chartered bus, you will hit four wineries: Lemon Creek Winery, Founders Wine Cellar, St. Julian Winery, and Round Barn Winery. At each, you will enjoy wine tastings (up to 20 over the course of the day).

At Founders Wine Cellar, a hearty lunch will be served. You will have your choice of two meat selections, pasta, veggies, dessert, and bottled water.  Be sure to bring some extra cash, because discounted wine bottles will be available throughout the day!
