Lunch in the Vines returns as one of the most coveted and intimate experiences of Traverse City Food & Wine week. Guests begin with a welcome pour before setting out on a guided exploration through the estate vineyards, production cellar, and barrel room at Chateau Grand Traverse, including exclusive tank samples and behind-the-scenes access rarely experienced outside the winery itself. The experience culminates beneath the vines for a communal multi-course lunch hosted by a nationally celebrated guest chef, where internationally inspired cuisine is paired alongside estate wines from Old Mission Peninsula in a setting designed for conversation, storytelling, and immersive hospitality. More than a traditional wine dinner, the afternoon invites guests to engage directly with the chef and winery team in an open-table atmosphere that feels deeply personal, relaxed, and unforgettable.
With only 24 seats available each afternoon, Lunch in the Vines remains one of the most exclusive culinary tickets of the festival.
Celebrity Chef to be announced soon!
