Our Location is Perfect for a Wine Festival!

Winter Delights will be held Saturday, January 23, 2010 in the Grand Upton Hall at The Mendel Center at Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor, Michigan, located in southwest Michigan and home of the world’s largest appliance manufacturer, as well as other thriving businesses and institutions.  The area also attracts a high number of tourists and second home owners.

The festival is only a ninety-minute drive from downtown Chicago, and forty-five minutes from South Bend, Indiana.  Hotels are close to the event for lodging accommodations.

Communities in southwest Michigan have received numerous accolades, including Best Places to Retire, (St. Joseph, MI, awarded 5th place for Terrific Towns on the Water; Money Magazine, 2008); Most Romantic Location (St. Joseph, awarded by The Detroit Free Press, 2006).

The area is also home to numerous wineries and distilleries with wine and spirits that are sure to please any palette!
