Trent Jonas came to Minnesota to attend college - and never left. He's a Twin Cities-based writer with a BA in English and a MFA in creative writing, a Minnesota Master Naturalist, and the proud father of two adult children. With more than a decade of freelance writing experience under his belt, Trent is often out exploring his favorite topics: Minnesota's woods, lakes, and trails. Rhubarb pie is his weakness, so discovering new diners is also a passion.
About 55 miles of Lake Michigan (Green Bay) shoreline separate the lakefront city of Menominee, Michigan from the charming coastal community of Escanaba. In that stretch, you’ll find four wineries, which makes this part of the Upper Peninsula premier wine country in Michigan. And Escanaba is the perfect spot to set up your home base for a weekend of wine-tasting adventure.
While you’re visiting these U.P. wineries, don’t forget to grab a bottle or two of your favorites to bring home with you. Upon your return, you’ll find plenty of places for dinner in Escanaba. The city is a popular destination, especially in the summer, so be sure to reserve your lodging well in advance. You can usually find some of the best deals for accommodations on Hotels.com.
