Fall in Region 6 Michigan's Thumb Area

One of Michigan's favorite Fall Color Tours takes you Around the Thumb. Take M-25 north out of Port Huron and around the Thumb. Start in Point Huron, and look for Pine Grove Ave heading north, which will then veer right, onto 24th Ave. These roads get you through town, and onto M-25, or Lakeshore Road Head north out of town on MI-25. MI-25 will follow the thumb shaped coastline all the way up to Harbor Beach, Port Hope, and Port Austin (you'll see that Lakeshore Road turns into Grindstone Road and heads west into Port Austin). Continue on to the town of Sebewaing and to the end point of Bay City, Michigan.

You have come to the right place if you want to see the magic fall colors of Michigan. Below you will find the best Fall Color Tours, Apple Orchards, Fall Hayrides, Pumpkin Patches, Ghost Tours and don't forget the scary Haunted houses!

The Village Winery came about after many years of wine making as a hobby. Through sharing our wines with family and friends we hatched the idea of starting a winery. After a long year or so process of application and build-out, we opened the Village Winery on labor day weekend of 2007 during our annual Romeo Peach Festival.

With a history that dates back to 1863, Yates Grist Mill opened its doors beside the rapidly flowing waters of the ‘then’ Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal. Amidst the beautiful countryside of Rochester, Michigan the memories began in full bloom.
