Old Mission Peninsula is a beautiful stretch of land jutting out into Lake Michigan--about twenty miles long and five miles wide. The Mission Point Lighthouse is at the end of the peninsula, along with a network of lakeshore and forest trails.
We didn't tour the inside of the lighthouse. Admission seemed high. Instead, we headed out to the trails. Callie thought this was the better choice.
The map showed an intricate network of well-marked trails. The trails themselves lacked sufficient markings, but it wasn't hard to avoid getting lost since we were on the end of a peninsula. When the going became uncertain, we headed for the beach.
Our next stop was Brys Estate Vineyard.
Julia ordered a tasting flight of wines. We shared a cheese and sausage board. As designated driver, I opted for an excellent cider, which is also one of their products. Julia gave high reviews for the wines.
There was even a dog-friendly section on the grounds.

Interesting wine flight rack.
All that GREEN! It's blinding!
Callie assures she called dibs on that chair. Humans!
To Bill: All of the wines in that flight were made on premises. Quite a few places in the Midwest bring grapes from the West Coast to make the wines. We are most impressed with the wineries that are able to deal with the short growing season and still make tasty wines.
MFH: Michigan was very green. It's brown here. We are in the middle of a moderate drought in southern Wisconsin. Nothing like out west but unusual here.
