About the race
Vine Wine'd is an annual October trail event held on the Fenn Valley estate in Fennville, Michigan. The course uses a network of trails that run through vineyard rows, meadows and several forested ecosystems created to show the property’s variety and ongoing vineyard plantings. October coincides with wine grape harvest, and the course features the associated sights, smells and tastes of harvest.
Two course options use the same trail network:
- 5K Trail Race, timed with awards, uneven footing and varied grade
- 1 Mile, untimed, shorter and gentler on the same trails
The 5K is run as a timed race with awards presented after the event. The 1 Mile is not timed and is intended as a shorter, low-pressure route for walking or jogging. The course timing for one year was provided by the Fennville Public Schools cross country program, and proceeds from that timing were donated back to the schools to support local athletes.
A post-race gathering takes place at the finish area with live music, a hot meal under a tent, and a complimentary glass of wine or hard cider for finishers; soft drinks are available for children. The event has been held repeatedly in October, with the 14th running on October 3, 2026 and the 15th planned for October 2, 2027. The estate address is 6130 122nd Ave, Fennville, MI.
