The farm-to-table movement and local food & drink scene in Ontario’s Southwest are booming.

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.

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.

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 very own wine.

There’s a lot to do in Ontario’s Southwest, especially when it comes to wine, beer, and cider.
