At Lakes And Grapes, our love for local wines runs deep. We believe that every bottle tells a story, and we are passionate about sharing those stories with our community. That’s why we partner with local wineries to host in-store wine tastings for special events. From Downtown Traverse City Ladies and Men's Nights to our 5-year anniversary celebrations, Wine Wednesdays, and Walk Club gatherings, these tastings bring people together and celebrate the incredible wine culture in our area. Here’s why this is such a vital part of our brand!
Bringing People into the Store
Hosting wine tastings is an excellent way to draw people into our store and create a lively atmosphere. Our events are not just about the wine; they’re about building connections and fostering a sense of community. As guests mingle, share their favorite wines, and learn from local winemakers, they become part of something larger—a celebration of the wonderful flavors and experiences that our region has to offer.
Celebrating Special Events
Whether it’s a Downtown Traverse City Ladies Night, Men’s Night, or our own 5-year anniversary, these tastings create memorable experiences for our guests. We curate each event to reflect the occasion, offering a selection of wines that resonate with the theme. These gatherings give us the opportunity to celebrate milestones with our loyal customers while introducing them to the incredible wines produced right in our backyard.
Showcasing Local Wines
We are dedicated to promoting local wines and highlighting the unique characteristics of our area’s growing wine region. By partnering with local wineries, we can showcase their products and tell the stories behind them. Each tasting features wines that are not just delicious but also represent the hard work and passion of local winemakers. And we happen to be experts in our Rosé sipping, especially when it comes to enjoying Rosé by the Bay. It’s a chance for our guests to discover new favorites and support the local economy at the same time.
Fostering Relationships with Wineries
Our partnerships with local wineries go beyond just hosting events; they are about building lasting relationships. We work closely with winemakers to curate tasting selections that reflect the best of what our region has to offer. This collaboration allows us to bring very nice wines to our guests and fosters a sense of camaraderie within the wine community.
Passion for Wine Culture
Wine is more than just a drink; it’s a passion that brings people together. At Lakes And Grapes, we are committed to creating an environment where wine lovers can gather, learn, and connect. Our in-store tastings are a reflection of our dedication to promoting local wines and the vibrant culture that surrounds them. We believe that every sip of wine is an opportunity to create lasting memories, and we love being part of those moments with our customers.
