Here is a photo I took last fall with my drone from Old Mission Peninsula in northern Michigan. I thought missed the fall colors, but when we got up there it was perfect as you can see.
Brys Estate Vineyard and Winery
MJ and I visited this nice winery last October. That was probably the trip where we bot got COVID. Fortunately, we ended up okay, but I know 600k+ individuals across the United States (any many more across the world) didn’t make it. My heart goes out to all those families.
Back to the winery…they have a beautiful setting, nice facility and great wine. I captured these rows of grapes as we were driving away.
Michigan Autumn
I took this photo last fall during our Michigan wine trail trip. We experienced great fall colors while we were there. This cool little road is actually the exit off one of the vineyards. So many great wineries in the Traverse City area.
Chateau Chantel By Air
Here is a photo from a long, long time ago (last October….COVID time is like dog time). I took this while traveling in Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City Michigan. There are a ton of vineyards, distilleries and places that make hard cider in this area. Not to mention, it is just beautiful…rolling hills, numerous peninsulas, Lake Michigan as the backdrop, fall color and much more. It was great getting back up there, since it’s probably been over 10 years since our last visit. Much too long.
I took this photo looking down on the Chateau Chantel vineyard/winery. They have an amazing spot, and it is worth a stop. Plus, the wine is great as well.
Wine With A View
I captured this photo on our last trip to Michigan (October 2020). We visited a small handful of vineyards (all outdoor activities only at tables/chair sitting far apart) including this location. This specific winery had this unique view out the back of the building. The vineyard is called Hawthorne Vineyards, which sits on Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City.
Chateau Chantal
This is one of my favorite wineries!! If you’re ever in the Traverse City Michigan area, head up Old Mission Peninsula, do yourself a favor and stop in for a sip. By the way, the views overlooking West and East arm of Grand Traverse Bay are amazing from their location as well.

Boschendal Winery
I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ll say it again. South Africa was AMAZING!! It’s on my “return to” list. We had such a wonderful time. Great food. Beautiful landscapes. Cool wildlife. We lucked out with great weather. Extremely affordable and we visited some outstanding wineries. One of them was this cool estate called Boschendal Winery. They had this great outdoor setting where we sampled numerous wines. Here is the link to their site: http://www.boschendal.com/
