Niagara bound

More than ever, armchair-travel- dreaming and planning for future trips can do our spirits good. That in mind, our insiders’ tour around Niagara offers up finds beyond the usual suspects. Even if you’ve been before, these gems mean it’s time to plan on visiting again.

From award-winning wines to dining experi- ences with a view, there are more than a few reasons to plan ahead to visit Niagara wine country. While we’ve known for years that great bottles come out of this corner of the prov- ince, the region is also home to a still booming food renaissance that is gaining global recogni- tion. What sets Niagara apart is the full experi- ence. You can start with a tasting of world-class sparkling wines with idyllic views and follow with street food inspired by the night markets of Asia. Visit fascinating breweries and then set off on a search for some of the best custard pies you’ve ever tasted. Here’s an itinerary for that happy time when you can explore Niagara wine country off the beaten path! PLEASE NOTE Hours and days of operation may vary. Now more than ever, check before visiting to avoid disappointment.
