Summer solstice, marking the longest day and the Northern Hemisphere's full tilt toward the sun, feels nothing short of ecstatic. Filled with movement and vitality, the ancients marked the day with revelry, barefoot walks, and fire building to cavort with the sun and all it's life-giving energy.

Join us for a Midsummer's Eve starting with a cocktail and garden walk before moving to the Granor Greenhouse—where the glass walls fill the space with sun—for a five-course dinner celebrating our early summer harvest. The dinner concludes just before sunset with an evening constitutional to the orchard where a bonfire and summer picnic desserts await. There will be very little night, but it will certainly be one to remember.
The Distiller's Tour and Tasting is an immersive, hour and a half-long experience at Granor's on-farm, micro-distillery. Your visit begins with a craft cocktail to enjoy on the walking tour of the farm. In the grain fields, you’ll discover how our certified organic, heirloom grains are selected, cultivated, and harvested for each spirit.
Back at our micro-distillery, Granor distillers will guide you through the production process and a tasting of four Granor Spirits paired with light snacks from the Granor Kitchen. Additional tastings of our very limited cask-strength expressions and small-batch liqueurs will be sampled as available. Each ticket includes a complimentary tasting glass.
This ticket is for 21+ guests who will participate in the spirits tasting. Participants must provide a valid government-issued ID. There is an option during the checkout process to add a $20 ticket for your designated driver.
Join us in our Greenhouse for an multi-course tasting menu that showcases the best of Granor's crops and other ingredients from local producers and farms. Each menu is a snapshot of the farm at that moment in time, never to be repeated, showcasing our farm at that moment in time and paired with Granor wines and spirits.
Goat's milk cheese has been a staple in households around the world for centuries. Every region has its own style of making goat cheese that highlights the distinctive features of where the cheese is produced — from the bloomy rinds of the Loire Valley to the experimental and inventive wheels of new American artisan cheesemakers.
In this class, Taylor Hartson, a farmstead cheesemaker at Verdant Hollow Farms, will teach us how to make four kinds of cheese from a simple lactic goat's milk curd, just by tweaking the cultures, the shape, and the aging style. We'll talk about how to select and source ingredients for cheesemaking, demonstrate the key steps of the process, and, of course, taste a variety of goat's milk cheese produced right here in southwest Michigan.
