The preparations are being made and the menu is extensive. Let me offer some wine suggestions to make this part of your gala a bit easier.
Sparkling wine is always a good choice, it acts as an aperitif and can hold up throughout the dinner with its lightness and firm acid.
Always a crowd-pleaser, Riesling is a strong choice either semi-dry or with a touch of sweetness.
Your red wines should also be lighter and fruitier to not overwhelm the many flavors on your menu. Beaujolais, Zinfandel, and Pinot Noir are good examples of this.
2026 will be a truly historic year as America celebrates its 250th birthday and Grand Hotel marks 140 seasons of timeless tradition on Mackinac Island. Reserve your room now to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime season filled with celebrations honoring our shared heritage and enduring spirit.
