Ice Wine Grapes
The Wineries of the Grand River Valley are celebrating their 10th Annual Ice Wine Festival! It started as a one day festival and has grown to so much more.
Happening on Saturday March 2, 9, and 16 from noon-5pm, this year’s festival offers ice carving, maple syrup demonstrations, delicious food, sled dog races, and of course ice wine!
Debonné Vineyards, Ferrante Winery & Ristorante, Grand River Cellars Winery and Restaurant, Laurello Vineyards, & St. Joseph Vineyards will all be participating and there are some great accommodations near the area for your convenience. Cost is $6 per person at each winery, which includes wine samples, an ice wine glass, appetizer and special events. (Bring in a canned food item and receive $1 off per person to help support local food banks.) Call 440-466-3485 for more information.
