The Vine Wine’d
A 5K and 1 mile trail race through the vineyards, meadows and woods of our farm — run at the height of wine grape harvest.
Pick your course
Both courses run on the same network of trails, built to show off the diverse beauty of the property. One is a race. One is a walk in the vineyard.
5K Trail Race
$40 · starts 10:00 AM $45 after Oct 1
A challenging trail course through vineyard rows, meadows and forested ecosystems.
- Timed by the Fennville Cross Country program
- Awards presented at 11:30 AM
- Trail surface — expect uneven footing and grade
- Race shirt and a glass of wine or cider included
1 Mile
$25 · starts 10:10 AM $30 after Oct 1
An easier course on the same trail network, with no clock and no pressure. Walk it, jog it, or bring the whole group.
- No timing and no awards — finish when you finish
- Shorter, gentler route
- Race shirt and a glass of wine or cider included
Add the post-race meal for $5. Guests pay $15 for the same meal, so runners get it at a third of the price. Add meals for yourself and anyone coming with you when you register online.
October 1 is the deadline for everything. Register by 11:59 PM that night to lock in the lower price and your shirt size — the 5K goes to $45 and the 1 Mile to $30 after that, and shirts and meals are no longer guaranteed.
The most unique race of the season
Join us for a scenic 5K or 1 mile tour of our premium wine grape vineyards and surrounding farm. Wine’ding through vineyards, meadows, and numerous forested ecosystems, the network of trails was created by our vineyard manager to showcase the diverse beauty of the property.
2026 marks the 14th year of this annual event. Fenn Valley continues to plant new acres of vineyard, allowing return participants the opportunity to witness the progression of vineyards and wine literally from the ground up. As October is the heart of wine grape harvest, the sights, smells, and taste of harvest will envelop you as you wine’d your way through one of our two courses.
Running for Fennville athletics
We are partnering with the Fennville Public Schools Athletic department. The Fennville Cross Country program will be timing our course this year, and proceeds from timing will be donated to Fennville Public Schools to help support our local athletes.
The post-race party
The finish line is the beginning of the good part. A race shirt and a glass of wine or hard cider come with your entry, the meal is $5 for runners, and live music runs from 10:30 AM until the band wraps at 12:30 PM.
