Kelly Ripa Celebrates Son Michael’s 20th Birthday by Taking Him to a Winery (Wait, What?)

Wait, shouldn't a trip to a fancy winery be reserved for a 21st birthday celebration?!

Kelly Ripa rang in her eldest son Michael's 20th birthday by taking him to Two Sisters Vineyard in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada on Tuesday, June 6.

But, the trip — which was part of a two-episode special on this week's Live with Kelly and Ryan — for Michael actually makes sense as Canada's drinking age is 19, not 21 like in the US. Phew!

"So 20 years ago, he, my son, my eldest came into my life and changed it for the better, for always," Kelly said on the show. "And America — and Canada — have seen him grow up right before their very eyes on this show over the years and I just wanted to show him a really great time."

"I always thought wine came from the box but apparently it does not, it comes from a grape," the 46-year-old TV star joked during her and Michael's tour of the gorgeous vineyard.

During Michael's Live birthday fête, the NYU student — he enrolled as a freshman at the prestigious university last fall! — and his famous mom also scaled a high ropes course offering an awesome birds-eye view of Niagara Falls. How cool!
