They have a large menu that caters to different palettes. Not only that, they have the best wine in SW Michigan. I highly recommend the Chardonnay (buttery notes), Dry Gerwurztraminer and the Cabernet Sauvignon.

If you want to visit wineries in SW Michigan, you do not want to miss Tabor Hill. It’s the best one! My favorite is the Chardonnay and Dry Gewürztraminer. Select reds are good too. In particular, we love the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Beaches and State parks
This is our favorite beach. It’s got parking and facilities (e.g., restrooms and changing rooms). It’s connected to Warren Dunes so there’s a long beach that’s ideal for walks or swimming areas away from crowds. This beach also allows pets! Don’t let the no pet signs confuse you. It’s just for a defined area. You just have to walk left (facing the beach) and follow the mini trail. Once the trail ends and you cross the Warren Dunes welcome sign, pets are welcome.
