Acqua In Vino is the place to be for learning about fine wines and cheeses, developing your palette, and buying a little present to take home with you in the end. All foods and drinks are locally made and sourced. You'll be taught about pairings and production processes if you show interest. You can request expert advice and even receive an individual tasting and pairing before you purchase.
Jayda Gale Distillery is another great place in downtown Wayland that will welcome you with a family-friendly atmosphere, fresh homestyle dishes, and a small but mighty collection of craft spirits and cocktails.
And don't forget that you're less than 30 minutes away from Grand Rapids - one of the most populated cities in the state situated on the Grand River. You'll find something exciting to do here.
A couple of ideas on that: refresh some American history in Gerald R. Ford Museum, catch a show at Van Andel Arena, experience modern art at Urban Institute of contemporary arts, but if you're not into fine art, you can come here to watch a movie as well. After all the action, you may want to get some fresh air in the park - John Ball Zoological Garden is your destination just for that.
