    Wine-pairing dinner at Chateau Chantal

    Day 2

    Private dinner and wine pairing at Chateau Chantal winery

    Located on a 65-acre estate on Michigan's Old Mission Peninsula in Grand Traverse Bay – one of the most scenic areas of the Great Lakes – Chateau Chantal is a French-style winery, Bed & Breakfast and vineyard estate opened in 1993 by the Begin family… Robert, Nadine and daughter Marie-Chantal. A unique destination combining vineyards, winery and B&B complete with winding roads, fresh air, friendly hospitality and kind company, Chateau Chantal produces Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and other varietals. The Chateau is the genteel setting for a winery tour and wine-pairing dinner for Tauck guests only.

    The Ford Rouge Factory Tour

    Day 7

    Take the Ford Rouge Factory Tour... and ride a vintage Model T

    Opened by the Ford Motor Company a century ago, the Rouge Plant in Dearborn was the realization of Henry Ford's vision of an ideal automotive complex where every aspect of production could be processed, manufactured and assembled in one place. Its first products in 1918 were anti-submarine boats for World War I; by the time it began producing Model A's in the late 1920s, it was the largest integrated factory in the world. Everything from tractors to jeeps, tank engines, amphibious vehicles, and iconic cars like the Thunderbird and Mustang rolled off the Rouge assembly lines until 2004, when the complex was transformed into the model of 21st-century sustainable design you'll visit today – building F-150 trucks and celebrating Ford's past and future.

    Grand Hotel – With Water View Room Upgrade

    Nights 3 and 4

    Back somewhere in time at the Grand Hotel...

    You may recognize the great wrap-around porch and lobby of the Grand Hotel from the movie, "Somewhere in Time," when a dashing Christopher Reeve travels back in time to declare his love for the lady in a photograph, played by Jane Seymour. The 1980s film may have wrapped long ago, but the romance remains in the Mackinac Island landmark. You'll go back in time too during your two-night stay here, learning more about its history (and its famous porch, the longest in the world) from an expert who knows it well... you may also upgrade to a water view room for your stay at the Grand Hotel (ask for details at booking).

    When I told my friends I was going to Michigan, they said 'Why?' Well now I can tell them exactly how amazing Michigan is!
