One of Traverse City Food & Wine's most coveted and intimate experiences returns to Chateau Grand Traverse with an exclusive collaboration between Executive Chef Keil Moshier and 2026 Food Writer of the Year and acclaimed cookbook author Anna Ansari.
Guests begin with a welcome pour and a guided walk through the estate vineyards, production cellar, and barrel room before gathering for an intimate communal lunch overlooking the vines. Together, Moshier and Ansari present a seasonally inspired multi-course menu that draws from Northern Michigan's harvest and the global culinary traditions that have shaped Ansari's award-winning work. Each course is thoughtfully paired with estate-grown Chateau Grand Traverse wines, creating an experience that celebrates food, wine, and the stories that connect them.
More than a meal, Lunch in the Vines invites guests into conversation with the chefs and winery team in an open-table setting where thoughtful hospitality, shared discovery, and a sense of place take center stage.
