Leash up your best friend and join us for Paws on the Peninsula at Chateau Grand Traverse.
Spend the afternoon exploring the winery with your four-legged companion while enjoying estate wines, local pet-friendly businesses, photo opportunities, giveaways, and activities designed for dogs and the people who love them. Whether you’re looking to discover a new local pet business, meet fellow dog lovers, or simply relax on the patio with a glass of wine, Paws on the Peninsula is the perfect excuse to spend a September afternoon in wine country.
From 3:00–5:00 PM, meet local pet organizations and browse community partner exhibits while your pup enjoys treats, activities, and plenty of new friends. Then settle in for the evening as local favorite Jimmy Olson takes the stage from 5:00–8:00 PM as part of our popular Sound Bites Live Music Series. Wine service continues until 9:00 PM, making it easy to turn an afternoon with your best friend into an evening at the winery.
