Do you like to paddle? Do you like wine? Well then...do we have just the Adventure for you!
Overview: This Adventure is an all experience level day paddle trip that combines flatwater paddling and wine tasting.
Date: Saturday, September 5th, 2009. (arrive at Noon)
Trip Details: Paddle one of the most beautiful chains of lakes that Michigan has to offer. This is a very leisurely paddle, so the trip is open to ALL experience levels, and it is open to kayaks or canoes. We will put in at the Pickeral Lake public access. We will then paddle through the tunnel, over to Emerald Lake, and on to an island in the middle of Sylvan Lake. It will take us approximately 1 hour to reach the Island. Once there, a snack will be provided as will a white wine sampling. This all takes place in ankle to knee deep water, so it will be unlike any wine tasting you have done before! After we have a brief discussion about the wines, we will return to our boats. We will then paddle back to Pickeral Lake, load up the boats, and head back to our base camp. Once we return, we will reveal the white wines that you sampled, explain the region it is from, give you pairings, and price/bottle. Bottles will not be available for sale, but we will give you all of the info needed to purchase. We will then proceed with a red wine tasting. Cheeses and food pairings will be served at the red wine tasting portion. After we finish the red wine tasting portion, this concludes the day trip.
Quick Facts:
- This trip will allow you to paddle some beautiful flatwater
- You will learn about several different kinds of wine
- Total paddle time is approximately 2.5 hours.
- You need to be 21 years old to partake in the Wine Tasting, but not to attend the Adventure.
