Traverse City stands as one of Michigan’s premier destinations for food and beverage lovers. From the world-famous Traverse Wine Coast and Leelanau Peninsula vineyards to craft breweries, cherry orchards, farm-to-table restaurants, and specialty food producers, the region is packed with Michigan food and beverage brands ready to grow. Whether you produce local wine, craft beer, cherry products, artisanal foods, or specialty beverages, getting your product into the hands of the right customers is the fastest way to turn interest into sales.
That’s exactly where Michigan Brand Ambassadors comes in.
