What To Eat? No What To Drink?


Don't Be Like This Guy... Go To Niagara

With August now upon us the seasons are going to start to shift a bit soon changing our focus as chefs to the harvest. For now, the beginning of August if I'm not mistaken. Is a fabulous time to take a wine or beer tour here in Ontario.

We are blessed to be a short scenic drive to so many fabulous prized wineries in Niagara and Niagara on the Lake. From Toronto and also Oakville we can utilize both the Go Train and Via Rail which will take us there and home leaving any worries about driving home after sampling wine all afternoon non existent.

There are always scheduled tasting and events that both wine aficionados as well as novices can enjoy. Some of the wineries have wine packages that feature bike tours of the area. These tours usually include a chef created lunch. If your interested in making it a full weekend, hotel and spa packages are also readily available.

Do something different for a change this summer and you will learn about the great wines from our own backyard.

There are a minimum of 26 wineries to choose from. And as we are foodies first, we must not forget the amazing restaurants available in Niagara. Speaking with the talented sommoliers one can gain grate insight into food and wine pairing.

I suggest to everyone, Google Niagara Wineries and start a plan now. Pick what works for you and go out and enjoy the countryside that is our back yard.




But Remember to Stay on the Canadian Side...
Once your on U.S. Grape Soil Anything Can Happen :)
