Adrian, Michigan’s Flying Otter Vineyard and Winery recently unveiled a new pavilion and new weekend hours (they’ll be open Saturdays and Sundays from noon-5pm). Novices and aficionados alike can come relax in the beauty of the vineyards and see how a family-owned winery adds character to their product. The 50-minute drive north is worth it to experience these Michigan-made reds.
