OFFICIAL EVENT SPONSORS
We appreciate the support and enthusiasm from committed sponsors so we can produce events such as Taste Michigan Invades the Eastern Market. Cheers!
Michigan Crafted (Michigan Craft Beverage Council)- 2026 SWAG BAG Sponsor
As the second most agriculturally diverse state in the nation, Michigan has a bit of a history when it comes to producing craft beverages. Being surrounded by 20% of the planet’s fresh water and resting along the 45th parallel makes Michigan the perfect place for growing. Just ask the 775 family-owned farms, the 3,375 acres of vineyards, hundreds of acres of hops, and 38,000 acres of apple trees.
All of these factors come together to create an unparalleled Michigan product, which can be found in almost every town and city throughout the state. Which raises the question…Where will you start tasting?
Eagle Eye Brands- 2026 Tasting Glass Sponsor
In 2004, Eagle Eye Brands was established in Michigan with the mission of representing great French wines at the best possible prices. Today, that mission has grown to include wines from all regions of the world. We choose wines that adhere to three principles – authenticity, approachability, and accessibility. Our success in Michigan has allowed us to expand our operation to include a distribution wing in Illinois as well as a National Import Division that partners with distributors across the US and internationally.
We are flexible, agile, and understand that our customers need end consumers. To that end, we aim to work as partners with our customers and vintners to help attract and maintain a customer base and work in ways that are mutually beneficial for shared success.
