High atop a grassy hill in the quiet country village of Ellsworth, you’ll find an elegantly casual inn worth raising a toast to: The House on the Hill B&B. Every afternoon wine aficionados and innkeepers Tom and Cindy Tomalka uncork a bottle—or two, or three—from their extensive wine cellar, and invite guests to sip and savor a few glasses in the inn’s light-warmed sunroom or grand front porch overlooking Lake St. Clair.
    Several times a year, the Tomalkas host an entire weekend devoted to wine. The next one? May 30 and 31. Friday night brings to the table wine expert, Dave Russo of Grand Rapids, as well as a walk-around dinner provided by local chefs. On Saturday night, you’ll slip down the pastoral two-lane road to the renowned Rowe Inn, where a gourmet 6-course tasting dinner awaits. $200 per person plus lodging; rooms $150+ nightly. 231-588-6304, thehouseonthehill.com.
