We’re taking a blue school bus - up Old Mission to 3 wineries. It won’t be like your high school days. Or will it?
About this Event

I thought we'd try something different, yet very old school. We have rented Big Papa Blue - a blue school bus from Magic Shuttle - and he's all ours from 5-9pm, ladies. We will meet at the Old Town Parking Structure on 8th St in Traverse City and cruise up Old Mission to visit 3 wineries upon vinyl seat finery.

Ticket includes transportation to and from the 3 wineries (Bonobo, Chateau Chantal and Bowers Harbor), subs, a group toast on the bus and the general chaos of 36 women thrown back in time to the days when we had good hair and bad attitudes. Any food/drink at each winery is at your own additional cost and is not included in the ticket.

Jimmy John's is sponsored by awesome MiGirl member Deanna Russell and owner of JJ! You are welcome to bring any additional food or drink on the bus. (But some things haven't changed - no hard liquor or smoking allowed on Big Papa.)

As always - pics first, rescue second.

Cost:$59 (if you bought any level membership)$69 (for newcomers who want to try us out first and become spellbound.)

If you aren't a member yet, I hope you've seen enough to question why not. You can join here: https://michgirl.com/plans/membership/
