Cleveland Plus - Wine + Golf + History Day Trip - East Along Lake Erie

Beacons of history await your discovery along Lake Erie's shores. A trip along Northern Ohio's 200-mile Coastal Ohio Tour offers heritage and historical sites, including stops along the Underground Railroad, fascinating wineries, covered bridges, unique attractions, scenic golf courses, lighthouses, and unlimited views of beautiful Lake Erie.

A history buff? Stop off at James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor, Ohio and learn more about the U.S. President who gave birth to the "Front Porch Campaign."

Then, take some time to rejuvenate in Lake County. Indulge in country elegance, just east of Cleveland with a trendy day spa facial and manicure. Savor culinary cuisine with award-winning wine and food pairings, including rare ice wines plus majestic hayride vineyard tours in the Grand River Winery District--Ohio's largest--at Chalet Debonne, Ohio's largest estate winery with 120 acres of vineyards and Ferrante Winery & Ristorante.

Distinguished horticulture reigns supreme in Lake County with Holden Arboretum, one of the USA's largest. Then saddle up and sit on a draft horse, milk a cow in the cow theater and learn more about food at the sophisticated 235 acre Lake Metroparks Farmpark, featured recently by USA Today as one of the "Ten Great Places…on Farming."

Stay overnight at the region's most elegant golf resort, Renaissance Quail Hollow Resort with two championship golf courses and meeting space galore.
