"Next-generation wine travel destinations in Michigan, Virginia, and Texas aren’t trying to out-Napa Napa. By leaning into local differentiators that make them feel exactly like themselves, they’re finding and defining success on their own terms."
"...regions that emphasize discovery and hospitality may be better positioned than they realize. Back in Northern Michigan, on that lavender-scented afternoon at Brys Estate, I was thinking less about prestige and more about the light reflecting on the lake and the cold, pink drink in my hand."
Thank you, Hannah and Wine Enthusiast, for the opportunity to welcome you to the Old Mission Peninsula and show you what we're all about at Brys Estate and Secret Garden! 🍷
Next-generation wine travel destinations in Michigan, Virginia, and Texas are carving a path of their own.
