2009 Special events and attractions
Coming soon!

Lobby Wine Bar
Tuesdays-Saturdays
Enjoy our featured wine selections from right here in Michigan and around the world in the comfort of our spectacular atrium lobby. Relax by our stone fireplaces, read a book in our nearby library or sit above our lobby and overlook the expansive and massive pine beams and take in the history that is Mission Point.

Wine Tasting Seminars
Tuesday’s – Saturdays
This is an elegant but relaxed approach to wine tatsing. Your “Wine Host” will guide you through tastings of various wines along tapas for your edification and enjoyment. $20 per person includes a $5 discount coupon to use on any bottle or glass of wine at any of our resorts restaurants during your stay.

Afternoon Tea
Tuesdays-Saturdays
Delight in an afternoon respite of selected teas, finely cut sanwiches, pastries and sweets served above the lobby. Relax and enjoy the spectacular pine beans, stone fireplaces and history of the Main Lobby. It is one of the most distinctive architectural structures on the Island. Nine ton majestic trusses, converging at a height of 36 feet, resemble a 16 sided tepee. This structure fulfills the Indian prophecy that "Someday, on the east end of the Island, a great tepee will be erected. All nations will come there and learn about peace."

Epicurean Wine Dinner
Enjoy the finest dining experience on the island while sampling and learning about our featured wines by the glass. This Prix Fix menu includes wine parings with each of the three courses. Your server will guide you through each course as you enjoy the stylings of our resident pianist, John Kissiane and the ambiance that is The Epicurean. $75 per person
From June

Enjoy an evening of great food and cinema every Monday during high season. Your evening starts with dinner in the popular Round Island Bar & Grill with its new menu featuring American classics fused with Michigan flair.

Then it’s off to the Mission Point Theatre, the only theater on the island that shows first run feature films every Monday at 9:00 pm in season! Your Dinner and Movie evening also includes a complimentary bag of popcorn simply by showing your dinner receipt.
