Greetings, Epicureans!

Does artisanship trump celebrity? We think so. Which is the reason we trawl the lists of book publishers, while staying current with the most highly skilled artisans working in restaurants, wineries, and trade organizations around the nation. In our view, thoughtfully crafted books are irreplaceable. They contain the language and artistry through which we obtain a greater practical knowledge, skills, and appreciation for the cultivation, care and creation of food and wine.

We invite you to experience the defining character of the Traverse Epicurean Classic: a comfortable approach and fresh ideas for pairings in Food, Wine, Cookbooks and Culinary Literature – where culinary meets literary. A place where the artisans are eager to share their time, talents and experience with you, the attendee.

So, please take your time to fully review the expansive schedule of demos, tastings, dinners, receptions and of course, the sixty-plus guest artisans who'll be joining us this year, our fourth. Then, register ASAP to ensure your participation in an incredible weekend of epicurean adventure on the Lake Michigan shoreline.
