VIP Upgrades Top Summer Destinations 2015

Wine Country of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada

Choosing a holiday destination is hard! We don’t have enough time off and we want to make the most of our holiday time. In writing this series of articles VIPUpgrades wanted to think of all kinds of different destinations to visit. Those that come to mind and those you may never have heard of. Places that may be well be well known in their country of origin but not so well outside. Niagara-on-the-Lake is a charming perhaps slightly touristy small town located on the South Shore of Lake Ontario in Canada, just north of the US border. It’s worth a visit but what is really worth visiting and enjoying is the wine country that surrounds it. It is picturesque, the people are friendly and the food and wine is good. It makes for a great combination! As a wine region it is not that well known outside of Canada but the area is dotted with large estates, medium sized operations and boutique wineries with distinctive wines and interesting stories. A fun day can be spent tasting wine and most of the wineries have lovely restaurants that are well worth a visit!

Try Ravine Vineyard or Ridge Point Wines.

So consider it. If you are visiting Toronto this summer to see the PanAmGames or travelling in Canada where there is so much to see, or in the North East of the US it is worth a visit. The scenery is lovely and expansive, the food and wine is good and there is even an outlet mall if you fancy some shopping!

Also don’t forget close by is Niagara Falls. The town itself is very touristy but the falls are incredible. Standing on the Canadian side you can see the United States and the Majestic Niagara Falls. They are a sight to be believed!
