Makers Trail PASSPORT

Collect stamps, earn rewards with the Makers Trail Passport

Pick up your 2022/2023 Makers Trail Flight Crew Passport starting this September! Then, taste your way through Berrien County visiting over 40 local wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries between then and May 2023. The more you visit, the more Passport stamps you can collect, the more rewards you can earn. Traveling the Makers Trail is fun, relaxing and a great way to find favorite craft beverages. Until then, still visit the Makers. There's no reason not to!
