VIP Wine SelectionsFor VIP ticket holders only.
Good Harbor VineyardsSleeping Bare Sparkling Brut
Following the announcement by Good Morning America in August 2010 that the Sleeping Bear Dunes was voted the most beautiful place in America, people have been �ocking from all corners of the world to experience the natural beauty located in Northern Michigan. This sparkling wine was produced using the Charmat method to keep the fruit �avors found in Chardonnay up front and present on the nose and palate. This wine has layers of apple �avors and toasty notes complemented by a creamy texture with a clean long �nish.
White Sparkling Wine
Les RocaillesApremont
A true earthly paradise nestled in the French Alps, Les Rocailles is owned and managed by boyhood friends and native Savoyards Guillaume Durand and Alban Thouroude, who purchased the estate and negociant business from Pierre Boniface upon his retirement in 2006. Delicate and feather-light, this wine offers green apple and �oral aromas on the nose. On the palate, it is dry and extremely refreshing with crystal-clear purity.
Dry White
Detroit VineyardsTraminette
Traminette, a French-American hybrid grape that is well-suited for Michigan winters, shares the characteristics of its parent, Gewurztraminer. This semi-sweet white wine features �oral aromas on the nose and a balance of sweetness and acidity on the palate. A mild spice �nish rounds out this easy-drinking wine.
Dry Rosé
IndigenousNebbiolo d’Alba
Founded in 2006, INDIGENOUS Selections represents a collection of carefully selected Italian wineries that produce the �nest and most authentic Italian wines. Light red in color, this wine features an elegant bouquet of ripe cherry, black currant, dry rose petal and mine. Sweet red cherries, �ower and spices create a juicy wine with plenty of mid-palate fruit with excellent grip.
Fruity Dry Red
The VIP Lounge is located at the outdoor patio near Pure Greens.
Live music will be performed by Chanah Ambuter.
