Highlands on the Rocks

Jan. 7, 2023

We’ll start by saying you should certainly save your imbibing for your après-ski experience…and then we’ll tell you we’ve found the perfect opportunity for slopeside drinks at the Highlands at Harbor Springs. The weekend of Jan. 13-15, they’ll be hosting their Highlands on the Rocks event in partnership with High Five Spirits of Petoskey. Once you’ve finished up on the hill, you can check out local distillery, winery, and brewery tastings on the property, plus events for friends and family to enjoy. On Friday, High Five Spirits will offer live music and a tasting event at the Yurt at the end of The Enchanted Trail (which admittedly sounds like a trippy, made-up land, but is really a beautiful 1.5-mile trail decked out in fairy lights). Saturday, more local makers will be onsite for tastings with a curated menu of hors d’oeuvres in the Main Dining Room ($25/person). Get the details—plus lift tickets—by visiting highlandsharborsprings.com/events.
