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—do not 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 will 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 Room.
