Critically Acclaimed Ontario Wineries

Whether you're looking for a fulfilling long weekend destination, or would like to kick back and relax even longer, Toronto Escapes suggests considering the Ontario wine regions for your next holiday. Ontario has become one of the world's most renowned and award-winning wine producing areas, where you can wander from vineyard to vineyard, swirling and sipping lovingly crafted vintages. Enjoy the warm welcome you'll receive from those who want to share their passion for great flavor with you, and take their recommendations on a bottle or two to take home, crafted right here within one of the Ontario wine regions.

Ontario wineries are unique in that many types of wine grapes are grown locally, where there is a cooler natural climate than in other wine regions. This lends a diverse complexity to the local wines, which are growing in popularity. Visitors can plan their holiday to coincide with an Ontario wine festival, several of which are held throughout the year. Enjoy the comfortable temperatures, relaxing atmosphere, and tantalizing tastes that are ripe for the picking within the Ontario wine regions.
