Benzie Area Chamber of Commerce

Enjoy Michigan brings together the warmth of genuine hospitality with the rugged beauty that defines northern Michigan. This locally-owned gem sits where downtown energy meets the natural splendor of Grand Traverse Bay. Each morning, wake to the sound of gulls and the gentle lapping of waves against the shoreline. The property captures that quintessential Up North feeling – where pine-scented air drifts through your windows and cherry orchards dot the rolling countryside just beyond the city limits. Staff members share insider knowledge about hidden beaches, local fishing spots, and the best places to catch a Lake Michigan sunset.

The Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail winds through 45 miles of rolling hills dotted with over 25 wineries and tasting rooms. This scenic route takes you past century-old farmsteads, cherry orchards, and vineyards that slope toward Grand Traverse Bay's sparkling waters. Cool lake breezes create perfect growing conditions for Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and other varietals that have put Michigan wine on the map. Stop at family-owned vineyards where winemakers still walk the rows personally, or visit contemporary tasting rooms with panoramic bay views. Each stop tells a different story of this peninsula's transformation into wine country.

The Leland Chamber of Commerce serves as your gateway to one of Michigan's most picturesque coastal communities on the Leelanau Peninsula.

The Chamber connects visitors with local businesses, dining recommendations, and insider tips for exploring the area's wineries, beaches, and proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Their knowledgeable staff understands what makes Leland special – from the best spots to watch ferries depart for the Manitou Islands to hidden gems locals love.
