August Wine Notes

Hello August!

Savoring Summer at Rove Winery - Summer in Northern Michigan is truly magical, golden evenings on the Leelanau Peninsula, lake breezes through the vines, and long, sunlit days meant for gathering with friends over a great bottle of wine. It’s our favorite time of year to welcome you to the highest point of Leelanau and share everything that makes this season so special at Rove.

We’re thrilled to be part of the Traverse City Wine & Food Festival, celebrating the best of our region’s flavors and community. And for an even more intimate experience, mark your calendar for Wednesday, August 20th, we’re partnering with Chef John Larson of Honest Hospitality for a one-night-only culinary collaboration at the winery. Little-known fact: John and his wife Adrienne are childhood friends of ours, and over the years we’ve shared countless evenings experimenting with new ideas, blending our passions for food and wine. This dinner will be a chance to bring that creative energy to life in a truly special way. Seating is limited so make sure to secure your spot here. 

Come raise a glass with us and make the most of this unforgettable Northern Michigan summer.
