When the sun is shining, there is nothing better than discovering a tucked-away patio to enjoy great food, drinks, and company. Here are three local downtown spots that are perfect for your next outdoor autumn escape:

Gia Mia | 13 N. Third St.

Step through to Gia Mia’s hidden back patio—your new favorite spot for chef-driven dishes, enchanting cocktails, and a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Mondays are extra special with half-price wood-fired pizzas, making it the ultimate start to your week.

Nobel House | 307 W. State St.

If you are craving barbecue with a side of sports, Nobel House has you covered. Their patio is the place to catch the game on multiple TVs while digging into smoked favorites—don’t miss their mouthwatering burnt ends, a local favorite.

Up North Wine Tasting Room | 9 N. Second St.

Owned by Cathy and Amy, this women-owned winery brings the spirit of Northern Michigan right to downtown Geneva. Each month, they feature a new winery to explore, along with a wine club for wine enthusiasts. Their charming outdoor patio feels like a secret garden, with fresh flowers and hanging plants inviting you to slow down, sip, and savor exceptional wines.

Be sure to add these three local hidden patios to your must-visit list—you’ll be glad you did! Give them a follow on social media to stay connected with the latest happenings at Gia Mia, Nobel House and Up North Wine Tasting.
