Behind the Vines

An Inside Look at Lake Erie Wine Country

There’s more to wine country than what you find in the tasting room.

Behind the Vines invites you to experience Lake Erie Wine Country from the inside, through a series of intimate, interactive experiences created especially for this event. Choose from one of three carefully curated journeys, each taking you to three wineries for experiences you won’t find on an ordinary visit.

With groups limited to just 12 guests, you’ll have the opportunity to meet and interact with the winemakers, growers and other people who bring Lake Erie Wine Country to life. Taste wine from the barrel. Walk the vineyard. Explore how sparkling wine is made. Challenge your senses with a black-glass tasting. Discover what concrete can do for a wine. These aren’t lectures—they’re conversations, demonstrations and hands-on experiences designed to take you deeper into the craft, agriculture and personalities behind the wines.

At each winery, you’ll spend 90 minutes exploring a different aspect of grape growing, winemaking or wine appreciation. Along the way, you’ll taste, ask questions, experiment and discover—and come away knowing a little more about what goes into the glass and the people and places that make it possible.

Behind the Vines is $125 per guest and includes all three winery experiences and associated tastings. With just 12 guests in each group, space is intentionally limited to keep every experience personal, interactive and conversational.

The date is October 10, 2026.
