Boathouse Vineyards, with one of northern Michigan’s only waterside tasting rooms, will help usher in summer on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16, when it launches a schedule of 24 free live music dates through mid-September.
With its expansive lawn overlooking the Narrows, the newly renovated Boathouse Vineyards tasting room — now in its 12th year — has become a “must stop” for locals and visitors wanting to get away and relax and watch the boats pass by.
On Father’s Day, acclaimed singer Dominic Fortuna will share crowd-pleasing hits spanning four decades from 4 to 6 p.m. Thereafter, starting June 23, Boathouse Vineyards will offer live music from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Sundays and 5:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, featuring area artists across various genres – from smooth rock to nostalgic hits and jazzy instrumentals. In addition to various snacks, food specials and wine discounts will be offered at most music events.
