Dubbed So Delicious So Door County, this eight-week celebration explores all that is delicious on this 70-mile long sliver of land that stretches out into Lake Michigan.  Visitor opportunities include traveling the Door County Wine Trail to sample selections from seven local wineries; sampling "Made in Door County" products such as locally caught smoked fish or products made of locally grown cherries and apples at over 30 local markets and specialty food stores; attending a cooking class; or picking your own pail of crunchy apples at a local orchard. View even more opportunities in a special menu available online from the Door County Visitor Bureau.

The deliciousness of Door County isn't just limited to taste: the other four senses can also get in on the fun.  Award-winning professional theater, over 100 studios and art galleries and live music opportunities provide visual and auditory refreshment. The pleasant aromas of freshly baked goodies wafting from area bakeries or the memorable fragrance of fall treats served up at community harvest festivals keep the sense of smell smiling. While the feel of a cool fall breeze off the lake or the crunch of leaves under foot on an afternoon hike ensures inclusion for the sense of touch, too.

Seasonally themed lodging packages are available to help make planning a visit to this popular Midwest vacation destination easy. Inns, B&B's, hotels and resorts offer So Delicious So Door County themed packages that include lodging, dining, special extras and a $25 Door County gift certificate.  View available packages and more on DoorCounty.com or call 1-800-527-3529 for personal travel planning assistance.
