And the best part is you can purchase your selection right from the vendors and take it home with you that day.
“The vendors are an integral part of the Michigan Wine and Beer Fest presented by Experience Jackson,” MIS President Roger Curtis said. “The guests continually get a sample of their favorite wine, beer or hard cider and then go browse items at the vendors’ booth. We even have picnic tables to allow you to sit and enjoy mouth-watering food available. There is no better way to shop or try some food then while sipping on some wine, beer or hard cider.”
With under a month until the sixth annual event on May 9, the impressive list of vendors continues to grow every day.
