Are you a cheese lover? If so, Ingersoll is the perfect place for

Known for its rich Aboriginal and pioneer history, agriculture, and friendly communities, Middlesex County has endless rural charm. And thanks to its productive farm lands, combined with passionate locals, it's growing into a culinary destination for food fans looking to get out of 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.

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.

Exploring our vast region can be very exciting, from day trips to weekend getaways, family road trips and romantic days away. When you’re done exploring for the day you will certainly be ready to cozy up at some of the region’s best home away from homes.   Ontario’s Southwest has so much to offer that sometimes it can just be hard to choose!
