GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) – This week on eightWest we’re celebrating Wine Week. Kathy Sturm joined us from the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail, along with Nancie from St. Julian and Caitlin from Dablon.

The Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail is made up of 21 wineries in Southwest Michigan. Just a short drive from anywhere in West Michigan, there’s no reason to spend hours in the car heading north. Visitors get a chance to visit the wineries and tasting rooms, that are all a short drive from each other.
