Who needs Napa when you've got Leelanau?

Filed under: Food & Dining,Leelanau,wine — Leelanau.com @ 10:52 am

From the Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association:

Tandem CidersOnce again the LPVA gets KUDOS from a regional writer! Bill Ging of the Oakland Press says that, "we are lucky to have one of the best stay-cations in the country. It’s called the Leelanau Wine Trail." Bill and his wife visited eight of our 18 wineries. Bill writes about Tandem Cider:

Tandem Ciders is one of the most unique stops on the Leelanau wine trail. Tandem Ciders specializes in artisanal hard ciders and some very interesting small plates. Tandem Ciders is trying to establish the European tradition of hard cider in Leelanau County. They use Michigan apples in their ciders and work closely with neighboring growers that produce the fruit.

  1. Congrats to Tandem Ciders! We're a Leelanau couple doing some short-term teaching overseas. It's so cool to see places we love on the Leelanau Blog. Can't wait to get home this summer and enjoy all the wonders of Leelanau again!

    There's no place like home, Toto!!!
