A bucket list is defined as something a person wants to do or achieve or experience in a set duration of time. These can range from places you want to travel to (Croatia is at the top of mine), new hobbies you want to try, or lifelong aspirations such as a promotion, buying a house or starting a family. Whatever your bucket list looks like, we encourage you to add Moersch Hospitality Group to your 2023 list! To make it that much easier, we decided to curate a list of must-do items coming up in the new year. See how many you can check off this year!
Winter Village: Round Barn Winery & Estate's Winter Village, sponsored by Honor Credit Union, is back for another Michigan winter season.
