Worth the Trip SPIRITS

BY CHARLENE ROOKE PHOTOGRAPHY BY JODI PUDGE ILLUSTRATIONS BY EMILIE SIMPSON Start the car! Ontario’s new gin-focused trail features six noteworthy distillers within an hour of the GTA—all ready for fans of the spirit to explore.

Look for an Ontario Small Distillers display in select LCBO stores to find featured bottles from local producers.

Make a stop along the new southwest Ontario Craft Gin Trail (craftgintrail.com) part of your summer explorations of the Wellington, Perth and Waterloo regions. Tour a craft distillery, do a tasting of unique small-batch spirits, grab some food—or, if you can’t get there, use this blossoming niche as inspiration to mix cocktails at home!
