Virtue Cider

Gold Coast


Head to Virtue’s farm in Fennville and sip a pint while sheep bleat, pigs oink and chickens cluck around you. The taproom is in a barrel-strewn barn, where the Brut (crisp and dry) and Percheron (slightly sweet) star among the 13 taps. Flights are available.

Free outdoor yoga classes take place on summer Sundays from 11am to noon; just show up and bring your mat.
