Before we all disappear into the vineyards, cellars, crush pads, and harvest chaos, the Michigan Wine Collaborative is bringing the industry together for one more evening of wine, food, conversation, and community.
Join us at North Farm in Suttons Bay as we raise a glass to the 2026 vintage, talk harvest predictions, share ideas for upcoming MWC projects, explore leadership opportunities within the organization, and spend some time with industry friends before harvest gets into full swing.
Current MWC members, prospective members, sponsors, and members of the wine trade are all invited.
We’ll provide BBQ and grazing fare and encourage attendees to bring a bottle (or a few!) to share. Want to make it even more fun? Bring a side dish that pairs with one of the wines you’re pouring.
For our winery members: retail, restaurant, and wholesale buyers will also be invited, so consider bringing information about your wines, distribution, pricing, or other wholesale materials. With OND buying on the horizon, this is a chance to introduce buyers to what’s happening in Michigan wine in a relaxed, community-focused setting.
Thinking about joining MWC?
Come meet the people behind the organization and learn what MWC membership can offer your business. Our new membership cycle begins September 15, making the Harvest Kickoff a perfect opportunity to explore membership, upcoming projects and events, committees, leadership opportunities, and ways to get more involved in Michigan wine.
Already a member? Bring someone who should be! We warmly encourage members to invite prospective members, industry partners, sponsors, and trade contacts.
Special thanks to GW Kent for sponsoring this gathering and supporting Michigan’s wine community.
