The Leelanau Peninsula is one of Michigan’s many wonders. With the 45th parallel running through the region, it’s designed for a great wine grape harvest.

The cool climate, rich soil and unique geography of a peninsula surrounded by the temperate waters of Lake Michigan create the perfect conditions for growing quality grapes, according to the Leelanau Peninsula Chamber of Commerce.

Fall is a great time to visit the area’s many wineries and so much more.The area is home to picturesque Sleeping Bear Dunes, recently voted “Good Morning

America’s” most beautiful place in the country. Stop by and see for yourself.

Save some gas and have a blast!

When Michiganders hold up their hand to show people from other

states where they live on the map, their pinky represents the Leelanau Peninsula.

Getting to the tip of the pinky from the knuckle (Mason County) can take anywhere from two hours to two days. Getting side-tracked along M-22 is pretty easy.

The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore alone is worth the trip. “Good Morning America” viewers recently voted the area the Most Beautiful Place in America. Michi-gan’s northwestern Lower Peninsula is breathtaking, area residents know. Now the rest of the country does, too.

After running down the dunes like you’re flying and taking photographs as keepsakes, enjoy the area then head to Leland. Find the first park-ing place you can after crossing the bridge over the river that flows from Lake Leelanau to Lake Michigan. If you’re hungry when you arrive, there are lots of options from sit-down lunches overlooking Leland’s Fish-town to take-out fare from many of the vendors in Fishtown itself.

Leland is a jumping-off point for hikers and backpackers heading to the Manitou Islands for a day trip or longer. So it’s not uncommon to see hikers loaded down with heavy packs heading for the islands. A ferry company provides rides to South and North Manitou during the hiking sea-son. Leland also has great shops and art galleries.

Once you’ve had your fill of Leland, it’s time to get back on M-22 and head north to Northport. The Village of Northport traces its roots back several centuries when the area was settled by the Otta-wa and Chippewa Indians. Northport’s street signs reflect this heritage. White settlers moved in during 1849 and the village was incorporated in 1903. Today the area has historic walking tours, restaurants and parks for area visitors. One of the main attractions is the Grand Traverse Lighthouse, inside of the Leelanau State Park. The current light was built in 1858 and is open to the public.

After your tour of the Grand Tra-verse Light and the Leelanau State Park there are several places in Northport to grab a quick snack before mov-ing on to Suttons Bay.

Suttons Bay has be-come a popular destina-tion for “foodies.” Over a dozen restaurants line the main street offering everything from burgers to high-end fare.

Sut-tons Bay is also home to the Inland Seas Educational Association and the Great Lakes Schoolship Inland Seas. The 77-foot schooner offers several sailings each week, most from Suttons Bay.

The area boasts many fine wineries that offer daily wine tastings — see the ads in this section. A complete list and map of the wineries on the pen-insula can be found on the Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association web-site at www.lpwines.com.
