Cherry Creek Cellars’ “Winter Date Night” series is coming up on March 3 and 4. Join them for an intimate evening in the igloos that include a welcome drink, gourmet four-course meal and wines selected by their winemaker. Please call the tasting room as soon as possible, as the spots sell out quickly. Call 517-592-4663 to reserve your spot.
Hidden Lake Gardens is holding a “Snow Meadow Trek” from noon to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 19. Join HLG for a guided trek with Jon Genereaux for an easy- to-moderate winter hike. Please note: This two-and-a-half hour trek does go “off trail.” Participants must be in reasonably good walking and heart health condition for this multiple hour trek. Wear hiking shoes or snow boots and dress for the weather. Walking sticks, trekking poles and even ski poles would be very helpful moving through, and maneuvering over the terrain. The trek is not wheelchair, walker, stroller or wagon friendly. Please call 517-431-2060 to register.
The IHRCC’s “Taste of the Irish Hills” tickets are now on sale. The 12th annual “Taste of the Irish Hills,” presented by Visit Lenawee, will take place March 12 and 13. This self-guided foodie tour is a long-running favorite. For only a $25 ticket, participants get into some of the best restaurants in the Irish Hills for a “taste” of some of the best cuisine around! We have 22 participating businesses this year! Tickets are available online at IrishHills.com, at the chamber office, Visit Lenawee and at Cherry Creek Cellars. You will receive a map with your ticket so you can plan you day. Call 517-592-8907 with any questions.
