Visit Canada’s Wine Capital – Niagara

As well as being home to some of the most beautiful sights in the world, the Niagara region is the undisputed wine capital of Canada. From Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, the region has to offer sprawling wineries, stunning beaches, green spaces, generous shopping places, restaurants and dining, and great entertainment. And let’s not forget the rich Canadian history and the famous Niagara falls!

Wine

With over 100 wineries, Niagara is becoming a ‘must visit’ for wine lovers and people wanting to escape to the countryside and enjoy a bit of food and drink. The region’s best vineyards can be discovered following the Wine Route of Ontario through the countryside by car, bike or guided tour. The best time to visit Niagara region is in autumn when the Niagara Wine Festival takes place. The festival offers a great array of tours and tastings at Niagara vineyards, Niagara cuisine with local produce and ingredients, artisan shows, concerts and family entertainment.

The heart of Ontario Wine Country is represented by the picturesque town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. This 19th-century village is the perfect day trip when visiting the Niagara region, as it is bordered by waterfront on both sides and surrounded by lush boulevard gardens. It is also home to several wineries, distilleries and breweries, as well as delectable winery restaurants.

Food

There is no better place to enjoy a plate of food than in a winery with a restaurant. Many wineries in Niagara have their own restaurants, where they pair Niagara cuisine with fine wines and even offer an overnight stay at a nearby inn or bed and breakfast. International cuisine is also available, with an abundance of restaurants, pubs and grills, and eateries to choose from.

Ideal for romantic getaways are the Fallsview dining and wine bars. Fallsview dining is the ultimate experience at Niagara, offering a wide range of menus in a stunning setting and views that change from day time to night time and from season to season. The restaurants are also located right next to many Niagara Falls attractions that can be explored later on in the evening. With these amenities and establishments within reach, it doesn’t come as a surprise that many people seek homes near the Niagara region and even farther. For instance, condos around the Burlington area provide great neighborhoods while also being a short trip away from the Niagara region.

Entertainment

From nights out at the pub to dancing at a nightclub, Niagara has it all! For grape lovers, there are plenty of wine bars that serve the best wines in the region and, for those that want to dance the night away, there are laser night shows or Fallsview dance floors.

Niagara region offers an authentic experience, filled with stunning countryside and beach views, wine tasting, relaxing spa days, candlelit dinners at Fallsview restaurants and a booming nightlife. It is the perfect romantic getaway, as well as a place for thrill seekers and family holidays.
