Taste of Grains Event!

Experience the Taste of Grains: A Special Tasting Event During the Traverse City Food & Wine Festival

We’re raising a glass to Northern Michigan’s vibrant food and drink scene with a special event you won’t want to miss! In celebration of the Traverse City Food & Wine Festival, we’re hosting Taste of Grains at our Downtown Traverse City tasting room — a unique, grain-to-glass experience happening August 20th and 21st from 2–3 PM.

What is Taste of Grains?
It’s an exploration of how the grains we grow right here in Northern Michigan shape the flavor of the spirits we craft. You’ll enjoy a curated flight of 8 tastings — vodkas and whiskeys made from a variety of local grains — and dive into how each grain influences the character of the final spirit. From the subtle sweetness of wheat to the bold bite of rye, you’ll get to taste the difference terroir makes.

What’s Included:

  • A guided tasting flight of 8 craft spirits
  • Light snacks to accompany your tasting
  • An in-depth explanation of our grain selection, distillation, and maturation process

Tickets are just $20, and bottles of all featured spirits will be available for purchase after the tasting.

Space is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure to stop in on the day of the event to reserve your spot!
