A family-friendly Northern Michigan winter event—best enjoyed with fresh snow and a warm glass waiting inside.
When winter conditions are right, the Blustone Trail becomes one of the most memorable Northern Michigan winter events for locals and visitors alike. Designed for snowshoers and cross-country skiers, the trail winds through our vineyard, offering scenic views of snow-covered vines and surrounding countryside.
The Blustone Trail is a free and easy activity that works well for families, couples, and anyone looking for a relaxed outdoor activity during the winter months. Whether you’re visiting Northern Michigan for a weekend getaway or looking for something different to do close to home, this winter vineyard experience offers a refreshing way to get outside.
After your time on the trail, guests are welcome to warm up inside our tasting room. Kids receive a complimentary hot chocolate, making this a fun and rewarding outing for younger adventurers. Adults can indulge in our house-made hot-spiced Ad-Lib, a seasonal favorite designed to take the chill off after time outdoors.
