LEELANAU – The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail has announced a newwine tasting event that’s sure to warm both body and soul this winter.

The new event, “Sips & Soups,” will pair hot soups with Leelanauwines at 22 wineries along the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, and is abenefit for Leelanau Christian Neighbors’ food pantries, with donations helping to re-stock the shelves after holiday needs are met.


Sips & Soups will take place from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 10 and again on Saturday, Jan 24. Tickets are $10 per person and include a wine glass and a featured wine and soup pairing. From each ticket sold, $3 will be donated directly to Leelanau Christian Neighbors (LCN).


“We love that our community always joins together to get things done,” said LCN President Mary Stanton. “We do have poverty in our county, even though the beautiful views and large vacation homes make it seem
otherwise. We couldn’t be happier that the Leelanau Peninsula Vintners Association has chosen to donate to us, and we’re excited for what will surely be an incredibly fun event!”
