Grand Reception

The ultimate Epicurean Classic event and indulgence. A glass of Pol Roger champagne as you enter a sprawling series of tents and tables on the shores of Lake Michigan and virtually all our incoming guest chefs positioned at separate tables handserving you a bite-sized, decadent dish from their cookbook or restaurant. That and a couple dozen wine tables hosted by prestigious wineries and importers like Terlato, Kobrand, Vin Divino, Penfolds, Chateau Ste. Michelle, Select Fine Wine, Vine Connections, Moet-Hennessy, Trinchero, Wilson-Daniels, Skandis, Peerless Fine Wines, Eagle Eye Imports and Honig, in addition to nearly all of northern Michigan's stellar wineries. Let's not forget craft-brewed beers from Stella Artois, Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales, New Holland, and Short's, as well as Sam Adams, and even a nice selection of aged spirits tossed and turned into inviting cocktail samples. In a separate tent, General Cigar will be onhand with fine cigars including Macanudo, Punch, Cohiba, LaGloria Cubana, Hoyo de Monterrey, Sancho Panza, Don Tomas and others. Indeed, something for everyone. Traverse City can't do better than this.
