Build Your Own Valentine’s Day Basket at Castle Farms in Charlevoix | Workshop | Events

Q: Do I need to preorder to get a basket?

Yes. All Valentine’s Day baskets must be preordered online by February 8 to guarantee availability.

On a crisp February morning in Charlevoix, Michigan, Castle Farms becomes an approachable workshop for Valentine's planning: Build Your Own Valentine’s Day Basket invites couples and thoughtful gift-givers to assemble a custom basket filled with wine, glassware, and curated extras. Located at 5052 M-66 N, Charlevoix, MI 49720, the event blends the castle’s stone rooms and manicured grounds with a straightforward, celebratory buying experience. This pre-order-only promotion asks guests to choose between two Wine & Glass sets and pick optional add-ons. Wine & Glass Set – Option 1 ($25) includes one bottle and two glasses with selections such as Visionary, Reflection, Pinot Noir, or Stone Mason. Wine & Glass Set – Option 2 ($20) includes one bottle and two glasses with choices like Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Birch Lake White, Riesling, Rosé, or Serenity Red. Optional add-ons include a Charcuterie Box for Two ($25) and Chocolate-Covered Strawberries ($15). Quantities are limited; all baskets must be preordered online by February 8 to guarantee availability. Why this feels different from a boxed bouquet or a generic gift card is the setting and the local flavor. Castle Farms’ stonework and formally laid-out lawns give a tangible sense of place inside Charlevoix’s small-town landscape just inland from Lake Michigan and the glacially scoured shoreline. The building’s historic vibes make a practical shopping moment feel like an occasion—an antidote to last-minute runs to a convenience store. For visitors staying in Charlevoix, this is a tidy way to combine a weekend of winter recreation—walking the frozen waterfront, ducking into local galleries, or enjoying regional restaurants—with a neatly packaged present ready to gift. The offering suits couples on a date night, parents sending a specialty gift, or travelers stopping in to support a local venue. Practicalities are simple: preorder online by February 8, review bottle choices carefully, and plan for limited quantities. The meeting point listed for pickup is 5052 M-66 N, Charlevoix, MI 49720. Dietary questions about charcuterie or strawberries should be resolved with the vendor when ordering. This is a focused, low-effort way to craft a personalized Valentine’s surprise that carries the charm of place and the convenience of modern ordering—small enough to tuck under an arm, deliberate enough to feel cared for. Plan pickup times around Castle Farms’ regular hours and check the event page linked at the time of ordering for any schedule details. Consider pairing the basket with a short walk near the harbor or a stop at a nearby bakery for fresh bread to complement the charcuterie. If you are traveling from out of town, book accommodations in Charlevoix early during the holiday period; small hotels and B&Bs fill quickly, and having a plan eases the holiday rhythm comfortably.
