In collaboration with Traverse City Food & Wine, French Valley—one of northern Michigan's only estate-grown winery-breweries—puts wine vs. beer to the test with three guided pairings of curated bites and beverages. Taste how flavors shift from bright to rich, then cast your vote for Team Beer or Team Wine.

In collaboration with Traverse City Food & Wine, take a family-friendly adventure at French Valley Vineyard: start with a welcome drink (or kids' slushie) and a taste of the farm's SIP-certified story, then follow a custom map on a self-guided scavenger hunt across 70 scenic acres. Ticket includes flatbread, a second beverage, and a gift bag for finding all ten clues.

In collaboration with Traverse City Food & Wine, celebrate golden hour in French Valley's restored barn with a welcome glass of Cloud 9 sparkling from the champagne wall, a generous charcuterie spread, and DJ Marco's upbeat mix. Ticket includes a welcome toast, one drink coin, light bites, and live music, plus a cash bar all evening.

In collaboration with Traverse City Food & Wine, take a self-guided tasting adventure through three top Leelanau estates—Bel Lago, French Valley, and Dune Bird—pairing curated pintxos with select pours.
