Download your 2023/2024 Makers Trail Flight Crew Passport NOW! Then, taste your way through Berrien County visiting over 40 local wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries between now and May 31, 2024. The more you visit, the more Passport access codes you can scan, the more rewards you can earn. Traveling the Makers Trail is fun, relaxing and a great way to find favorite craft beverages.
Last year, we switched to a digital system to make prize earning easier for you. No more worrying about forgetting your passport and no more dropping it off at the Tourist Council to earn prizes. This year we've launched a new and improved app! Now, you can simply download the app and check in using QR access codes. Once you visit a location, ask your server for their unique access code to earn that location on the app. They'll give you a QR code to scan. Each time you complete a level, your information will automatically be saved. It's that easy! Download it NOW to get started!
