The first ever Traverse City Wine & Art Festival takes place Saturday, August 22, 2009 in Traverse City on the grounds of historic Building 50 at The Village at Grand Traverse Commons.

The festival will feature full pours of wine from 22 wineries on the Leelanau & Old Mission Peninsulas along with a selection of Traverse City and Leelanau restaurants serving food & desserts, art from over 30 artists and a great selection of music from Michigan bands including Thom Jayne and the Nomads.

Be sure to check this photo out bigger – it’s part of Kendall’s Lake Michigan vacation set (slideshow).

PS: My company is coordinating the wine festival, so please accept my apologies if Michigan in Pictures is really late some days … such as today! ;)
