Our third annual Corks & Crafts tasting event will be bigger and better than ever in 2023! The outdoor, tented event will feature Southwest Michigan craft beer, wine, and spirits. Additionally, BOTH vintage boats AND vintage trailers will grace the the lawns of Gilmore Car Museum this year during the event. Stop and enjoy the beautiful, red barns as you play giant Jenga, cornhole, and other yard games. Swing by a 1962 Chris-Craft boat and on the next loop a 1962 Shasta Airflyte trailer decked out for the era.

You'll also enjoy the sounds of Guitar UP! as you meet the brewers and vintners. Guitar UP! is a quartet performing originals and covers of instrumental guitar based music that has roots in 60's surf music, classic jazz/swing, and movie soundtracks/themes.
