Trip Inspiration | Adult Escapes

Mix urban and rural on a flavourful Next Stop: Taste journey that’ll take you to an 8-sided barn full of home cooking and surrounded by gardens, an old movie theatre turned craft brewery producing premium beers, an all suite boutique hotel full of luxury and eclectic charm, and a family farm crafting small batch beers made with barley grown right on site!

You may have heard of the rapidly expanding craft beer scene and about the three distinct wine growing regions of Ontario's Southwest, however did you know craft cideries are also booming with bubbly goodness here too?!

These breezy driving routes make for amazing fall road trips

Crisp air. Falling leaves. Hot apple cider in hand. Nothing says fall like a weekend road trip touring through small town Ontario. This year, slow down and celebrate harvest season in Ontario’s Southwest on one of these great routes.

Located in the enchanting and relaxing harbour village of Port Stanley, in Elgin County, Kettle Creek Inn offers cozy accommodations and delicious cuisine to travellers near and far!

The trees aren't the only thing that's growing in the Forest City; London is also home to a growing craft beer scene across the city.

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.

While the fable of the ant and the grasshopper teaches the important lesson of putting a little work in today to prepare for times ahead that may not be quite so plentiful, there’s no harm in the work being tasty and fun!

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.
