Established in 2012 by Walter Catton and Mark Fellwock, the dream to create premium small-batch spirits by hand using local ingredients became a reality. The copper still used at Coppercraft allows distillers to create spirits with complexity and character, delivering a superior product to the local community.

Established in 1973, the family owned and operated vineyard and winery complex, Fenn Valley Vineyards produces world-class wines from grapes grown along Lake Michigan’s shoreline.

Guests at Gather will have the opportunity to experiencing their pure Michigan-made wines on the evening of August 25.
