BENTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The Lake Michigan College Mendel Center will host the sixth annual Winter Delights: A Festival of Wine, Food, and Jazz on Saturday, Jan. 24, from 5 to 9 p.m. in Grand Upton Hall.

The event will feature more than 20 Michigan wineries, local cuisine from a variety of restaurants, and live entertainment by Chicago acoustic artist Pat McKillen.

According to Director of Conference and Event Services, Tonya Martindale, more than 300 people attended last year’s Winter Delights.

“We have an outstanding array of local wines and delicious food, and guests can talk with winemakers and winery representatives in a warm and intimate atmosphere. It’s a great way to find relief from mid-winter cabin fever.”

Food vendors will include Old Europe Cheese/Reny Picot, Santaniello’s, Bistro on the Boulevard, LMC Conference and Events Services, and Tabor Hill Winery & Restaurant. Café Mosaic and Purely Michigan will also have booths.
