Weekend Getaway

Back in October some of my friends and I took a road trip down to Ohio for my friend Meghan's 25th birthday to do some wine tasting.  We followed the Lake Erie Shores and Islands trail to a total of nine wineries over two days extending from Toledo to Cleveland. It was one of my favorite birthday trips we have taken, and it wasn't even my birthday!

We rented the cutest beach house in a little neighborhood called Mitiwanga.  It worked out perfectly as the house was right about half way along the trail. On Saturday we went to all the wineries to the east of the house and Sunday comprised of all the wineries to the west along our way back to Michigan.

My two favorite wineries from this trip are Vermilion Valley Vineyards and Quarry Hill Winery. At Vermillion Valley I highly recommend the Cabernet Savignon and at Quarry Hill I love the Pinot Grigio.

All in all we had a great weekend, took way too many pictures, tried some of the best wine the midwest has to offer and made some memories that will last a life time.

Live Well, Live Inspired
