Arienne Parzei travelled around Ontario's Southwest to find some of the best Culinary Trails this region has to offer and documented that journey in four episodes! Watch the videos below and see what the Culinary Trails in Ontario’s Southwest have to offer:

October is a great time of the year, from the beautiful views of the changing trees, to the mild weather that’s perfect for pumpkin picking, but most importantly all the Halloween-related activities! From events for the kids, like a pumpkin festival and ghost stories, to something for brave teens and adults that will surely scare your socks off, there are many events happening across Ontario’s Southwest.

Raymond, or as he's more commonly known as, The Travelling Foodie, spent the weekend in Norfolk County trying out delicious foods, having some outdoor fun, and spent some time relaxing with a glass of wine! 

The Travelling Foodie, Raymond, explored St Thomas and experienced some of its rich history, and tried some cuisine in its growing culinary scene.

The travelling foodie, Raymond, dove deep into the Oxford County Cheese Trail, tasting various mouth-watering cheeses, to cheese-based dishes, and he even got to experience some of the vast heritage the Cheese Trail has to offer.

Fun ways to get out and play with some birds of prey this fall

Ontario’s Southwest is home to some of the best hawk watching in North America and the fall is one of the best times to sight these amazing birds as they begin their migration south.

If you’re looking for a bite to eat that will open your eyes to local flavours, head to some of the restaurants owned by the star chefs of Southwest Ontario for their well-known dishes.

Home to the longest growing season in the province, it’s no wonder Essex County has become a must-visit destination for foodie fans.

Throughout life we get stuck in ruts, visiting the same places with the same people and continuously doing the same things. Break that habit and explore our region to experience some of the best restaurants that you haven't discovered yet.
