    June 10th - June 14th - Leelanau Peninsula, Michigan
  • We are excited to welcome you to kick off Summer 2026 on the beautiful Leelanau Peninsula, surrounded by Lake Michigan, and located in the northwest corner of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. The Leelanau is home to over 30 wineries, breweries and distilleries. It is also home to Sleeping Bear National Seashore, a treasure of the Great Lakes, full of opportunities to hike and bike, and picturesque lakeside towns waiting to be explored.

    The rally is based out of Holiday RV Park and Campground, located just outside of Traverse City, MI, at the base of the Leelanau.  All sites are full hookup and the rally will have exclusive use of the campground pavilion for meals and social activities.

  • Cancellation/Refund Policy

    Members who cancel after being registered for any event will forfeit any third-party non-refundable fees incurred by Grapes & Grains (G&G) or the event sponsor including but not limited to reservation fees, processing fees, site cancellation fees, prepaid excursion, tour, entertainment, and event fees. Any member/registrant who cancels within 30 days of the Rally start date will forfeit any prepaid rally fees and depending on the venue, potential RV site fees. Regardless of the reason or cause, if the timeliness of cancellation of your attendance does not allow G&G or it’s Host(s) to find replacement attendees or obtain refunds from any of the vendors or providers, a refund will not be made, and forfeiture of those costs will be incurred by the cancelling member.

    If Grapes & Grains should cancel a rally or event, all fees paid by any member/registrant will be refunded.

    This Grapes & Grains refund policy is premised on the concept that the Intra-Club should neither profit from nor subsidize the cost of any member or registrant who cancels after registering for a G&G sponsored or hosted rally or event. We understand that circumstances arise where a cancellation may be necessary, and every effort will be made to minimize the financial impact on both the Intra-Club and the member/registrant.

    Any member/registrant who does not agree with a refund decision made by the organizers of a G&G sponsored event may appeal that decision to the G&G Executive Board by filing a written appeal request, including the reasons for a reversal of the refund decision, within 30 days of the original refund decision.
