Follow the Rainbow and experience warm, welcoming, wonder-filled Niagara, just a short drive from Toronto.
While the majority of visitors to Canada’s Niagara region are lured by the thundering waters of Niagara Falls, the world-class wine and culinary scene here is capturing the attention of the international wine community and pleasing the palates of a growing number of travelers.
Just a short drive from the excitement of Niagara Falls, the scenery shifts to the vineyards of Niagara Wine Country, one of Canada’s most acclaimed grape growing and winemaking districts. Today, over 70 wineries craft a diverse range of varietals embodying Niagara’s distinct cool climate terroir.
As Niagara’s winemakers capture the essence of the region’s unique microclimate in the glass, area chefs are highlighting it on the plate with a fervent commitment to farm-to-table cuisine. Whether savoring a barrel cellar dinner hosted by a winemaker or a seasonal tasting menu with a jaw-dropping view of Niagara Falls, the abundance of spectacular dining experiences here make Niagara a natural choice for food and wine lovers.
In addition to the wonder of Niagara Falls and a dynamic wine and culinary scene, Niagara offers visitors a range of other experiences to round out their vacation including world-class theatre, 850 holes of golf, top-rated destination spas, Canada’s largest casino, and fantastic shopping.
