As the weather turns a bit more crisp and cool outside, there’s never been a better time to turn inside. Summer and early fall in the Traverse City area are all about outdoor adventures – and maybe a few wine tastings or two.

There are plenty of fun summer traditions to enjoy in the Traverse City area, including sailing on Grand Traverse Bay and wine tasting on the Leelanau Peninsula.
