Fare and Pair: Inside the Winemaking Process

Go beyond the glass and step into the craft behind every pour along the River Raisin Wine Trail. This spring experience invites guests to explore how wine is made—from the vineyard to the bottle—through behind-the-scenes experiences at four unique wineries.

Each stop along the trail highlights a key stage of winemaking. At Flying Otter Vineyard & Winery, guests will walk the vineyard and learn how grapes are grown and prepared for harvest. Cherry Creek Winery will dive into the fermentation process, where juice begins its transformation into wine. At Chateau Aeronautique Winery, explore how barrel aging shapes flavor, aroma, and complexity. At Pentamere Winery, guests will explore the bottling process, where the wine’s story comes full circle. Throughout the day, enjoy thoughtfully paired bites alongside tastings that complement each stage of the process.

Tickets are $30 per adult and include wine samples and food pairings at each of the four locations. Designated driver tickets are available for $12 and include food only.
