Trip Inspiration | Adult Escapes

Vacation, we all love it; it's a time to escape the everyday and just relax. The one thing we wish we could all skip about vacation is the long lines at the airport. Luckily, there’s an island getaway down south right here in Ontario that requires no long security checks – Pelee Island!

No matter where we go and when we like to travel, vacationing is all about one of two things: escapism or discovery. We are either taking a break from our every day lives and routines, or we are trying to discover a new destination and its culture. When you're looking for discovery taking part in local hands-on experiences is the best way to immerse yourself in the local culture and really get to know the community.

Norfolk County is known as Ontario’s Garden for its rich farmers’ fields as well as a growing wine and craft beer scene; however, it’s not just a foodie’s dream, it’s also a paradise for those that love the great outdoors.

Bread so fresh you’ll break into it as you walk out the door, exceptional pizza that defines the local scene, a nouveau Italian fine dining restaurant serving up local flavours, and vino lovers that’ll guide you through bottling your favourite wine notes.
