I’ll drink to that! – In Southwest Michigan

Nestled along the southern shores of Lake Michigan, Southwest Michigan’s thriving agricultural scene has benefited from the great “lake effect” climate, which has enriched the “fruit belt” with generations of fertile soil. As a result, this unique region has given rise to a wealth of tasting rooms, seasonal festivals, and more. Moreover, Southwestern Michigan is renowned for its inviting wineries, craft breweries, and eclectic mix of distilleries and cideries. From New Buffalo to South Haven, St. Joseph to Coloma, and Stevensville/Baroda to Niles, the area has become a go-to destination for both casual travelers and discerning connoisseurs seeking the perfect sip. Whether it’s your first visit to the area or you’ve been coming for years, explore the links below to discover your favorite tastes and nuances in our little corner of the world.
