Whether you find the trailhead at Round Barn or Tabor Hill, it’s hard to go wrong with either location. Both are a testament to the quality grapes that grow in Southwest Michigan.

There’s a trail map at the beginning of the trail head showing all the different routes you can take. There are 3.6 miles worth of trails to explore at three different difficulty levels. The quickest route from Round Barn to Tabor Hill, or vice versa, is only 1.3 miles.

I think they missed a golden opportunity not naming one of their drinks the “Walk-tail” to honor the tradition of grabbing a beverage and exploring Mt. Tabor Trails. Creative names aside, this is one way to combine the best of a hike and happy-hour.

Where they missed out with the creative cocktail names, they made up for by naming their trails. I’m imagining actually drinking a Pino Grigio on Pino Path, before ordering a cabernet on my way to Tanon Trail.

This is a place you’re encouraged to walk around and explore. There are few places in the Midwest that bottle wine of this quality. This part of Michigan has great weather and conditions for growing these grapes thanks to Lake Michigan. Round Barn Winery also has a variety of mixed beverages that you have to try as well.

This is one of the dishes on the Tabor Hill Restaurant menu. They stand out from their neighbor with the dining experience at their restaurant. However, you can count on them to pour a great glass of wine too.

We’ve all brought the glass with us when taking the dog out at least once. Well, if you’re taking your dog to Mt. Tabor Trails, at least you can feel a little more socially acceptable. Dogs are allowed to walk on the trails but must be leashed up at all times.
