The party is presented by The Greater Bridgman Area Chamber of Commerce and Growth Alliance, the Lake Michigan Shore Wine Trail, which is now in its 15th year and Traffic PR & Marketing.
Due to the extremely high demand and the strong possibility of a sell-out position, organizers have installed the new plan this year of providing tickets exclusively in advance for $20 (plus service fee) through June 16 at this link: brownpapertickets.com or at the Harding’s Friendly Market in Bridgman. All admission sales end at midnight on Friday, June 16. Then, and only then, if there are still some tickets available, the remaining admission tickets at the door will be $25 with no guarantees that any will be available, and there are no refunds under any circumstances.
All attendees will receive a souvenir wine glass upon entrance, and your wine tasting tickets cost $1 per ticket (with tastings running 1-to-2 tickets per tasting and 6-10 tickets per glass of wine). Food booths, on the other hand, as has become tradition, are cash only, and no outside coolers will be allowed.
