So many great things to do in TC! Take a ride on the Tall Ship
Manitou. They have day, night and overnight cruises. If you are into wine, we love the Old Mission Peninsula winery (it’s in an old school house). Their Pinot Gris is very good. For fruit and port wine, Leelanau Cellars is great and we’ve always had a great experience wine tasting there. I’m not a Chardonnay fan, but their Tall Ships Chardonnay is good. There are several lighthouses in the area that are a great tour. No trip to the TC area is complete with out visiting The
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. It’s very beautiful.
BTW - I enjoy Higgins Lake, especially the north side. I find it a better jumping off point for going to Northern Michigan than Houghton Lake.
