WZZM Channel 13 News, Grand Rapids - Take Five | August 18, 2005
This summer, travel through the scenic rolling countryside of Southwest Michigan's "Harbor Country" wine region and explore the estate of the family owned and operated Round Barn Winery & Distillery (formerly Heart of the Vineyard).
"Squeeze" the fun out of your summer and end it on a "crushingly" high note by joining the Round Barn's Annual Harvest Party on Sunday, August 28th from 2pm to 6pm. Enjoy live music, wine tasting, awesome food, and of course, grape stomping. Guests are invited to take off their shoes, climb into the giant bins of harvested grapes and start jumping! Live music will be provided by Lady Sunshine and the X Band. Children will enjoy hayrides and games while adults check out the wines and microbrews in the Tasting Room. This annual all-day extravaganza continues to grow each year and promises to be the highlight of summer fun in Southwest Michigan. Admission is only $10 and kids under age 10 are free!
Earlier that weekend on Friday, August 26, Jenna Mammina will perform inside the Round Barn. Enjoy an awesome jazz concert along with a gourmet dinner for only $40 per person. The Round Barn welcomes accomplished jazz artist and Southwest Michigan local (now living in San Francisco!) Jenna Mammina. Tickets to attend the concert only (no dinner) are $15 per person. Dinner is scheduled for 6pm and the concert begins at 8pm.
Tickets are available at the winery's tasting room. Reservations required. www.jennamammina.com.
The vineyard is only a short hour and 30 minute drive from Chicago and Grand Rapids, less than an hour from South Bend and Kalamazoo and just three hours from Indianapolis. Southwest Michigan's wine country is the perfect 'day trip' destination from many Midwest cities or extend your stay, make a family vacation out of it and check out at the many vacation rentals, inns and bed and breakfasts in the area.
