The Beyond Series
The Beyond Series is Chateau Grand Traverse’s umbrella for distinctive, one-of-a-kind events that transcend the ordinary. Each experience is crafted to invite guests deeper into the heart of the winery—its people, place, and passion—through creative, seasonal, or thematic gatherings that go beyond traditional tastings.
