Traverse City, Michigan
Provided by Traverse City CVB
FALL/WINTER 2008
You’re standing together, high above the unbelievable blue water of Grand Traverse Bay, and the golden light of a long fall afternoon is streaming across your shoulders. Gazing down past rows of lush grapevines to the deep blue lake, the gold and scarlet forest, the distant purple hills, you raise a glass of cool, crisp Chardonnay and exchange a knowing smile. Lucky you.
Every year, more vacationers are discovering what a spectacular place Traverse City is in the summertime–but those heart-stopping views of sky, water and shore don’t disappear after Labor Day. Au contraire! Autumn only sharpens the beauty of Traverse City, adding color to the forests and spice to the air -- perfect weather for a stroll on the beach, a shopping adventure, a round of championship golf, or a tour of our beautiful wine country.
When winter snows start drifting down, the entire region becomes an enchanted realm of sparkling white. Our snowy days and starlit nights are full of opportunities to enjoy the Great Outdoors in all its glittering splendor. No matter what your favorite sport – cross-country or downhill skiing, snowmobiling, sledding, skating or snowshoeing–you’ll find no better winter playground than this gently sculpted landscape, carved from the earth 15,000 years ago by the last retreating glaciers of the Ice Age.
The fun isn’t all outdoors. Shoppers are charmed by our picturesque turn-of-the-century downtown, with over 150 boutiques, shops and restaurants. Food-lovers are amazed at our fresh and imaginative regional cuisine, and by the award-winning wines produced in our hillside vineyards. And there’s plenty of indoor fun, too -- this is one of America’s most charming "art towns," with dozens of galleries, studios and museums, two symphony orchestras, two theatre companies and a vibrant club scene.
You can walk a mile along a misty beach, bicycle through a landscape of brilliant autumn color or ski silently through a snow-shrouded forest. You can taste a cherry pie still warm from the oven, enjoy a glass of fragrant Old Mission eiswein, or just snuggle up beside a roaring fire and watch the bright stars burn in the winter sky.
Traverse City. It just keeps getting better. For more info visit www.visittraversecity.com.
