Autumn is calling, and what better time to rest and rejuvenate before the holiday rush? There’s plenty of seasonal fun to be had during the fall in Niagara-on-the-Lake, whether you visit one of the outstanding local wineries or take a hike on one of the many beautiful trails. At the end of the day, refuel and recharge with fantastic food and drinks at one of our fine dining establishments! Booking your perfect fall getaway has never been easier than with Vintage Hotels.
Discover Niagara’s Wine Country
It’s harvest season at Niagara’s top wineries, and there’s plenty to sip on and savour this year. Pay a visit to one of the top-tier vineyards in the area, or hop on our Wine Trolley Tour for a sampling of several regional wines!
For a personalized tasting with a touch of Halloween fun, check out The Hare Wine Co.’s Scare At the Hare package, where you’ll sample three of their premium wines and festive treats. Alternatively, relish the last days of warm weather and enjoy hand-made, locally produced ice cream and Icewine at Château des Charmes. Finally, if you’re looking for a memorable tour through stunning vineyards with spectacular views of Lake Ontario, check out Cave Spring Vineyard, where you’ll sip on their premium wines and enjoy a picnic lunch upon your return.
Stroll Through Autumn’s Splendour
The Niagara Region is an avid hiker’s dream destination! Take in the rugged beauty of the Bruce Trail, which follows the Niagara Escarpment from Queenston all the way up to Tobermory (over 900 kilometres!). Short Hills Provincial Park is another great option for hiking, with seven trails of varying difficulty to choose from, so people of all abilities can enjoy a stroll through its rich autumn landscape. Don’t miss the chance to visit the magnificent Swayze Falls via the Paleozoic Path, which is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers, making it ideal for afternoon walks with the family.
The Swayze Falls is one of many waterfalls in the area, and if you just can’t get enough of viewing these natural wonders, you can also check out the Ball’s Falls Conservation Area, where its two waterfalls are a popular attraction. Along with natural beauty, you’ll also find the historic home of the Ball family and learn more about Niagara’s fascinating past.
Indulge in Fine Dining
Savour the flavour at one of our fantastic restaurants right in the heart of Niagara-on-the-Lake! For a special night out, visit our Tiara Restaurant at Queen’s Landing, where elegant, farm-to-table cuisine and five-star service are king. Indulge with our classic filet mignon or try something new with our eclectic seafood linguine! Meanwhile, elevated pub fare is the name of the game at Vintages Wine Bar & Lounge, located at Pillar and Post. We serve up pub staples like fish and chips alongside new favourites like our Great Canadian Burger.
Finally, for a truly unique experience, enjoy afternoon tea at The Drawing Room at Prince of Wales. You’ll love our selection of premium teas and regional wines, along with delectable house-made pastries and artisan cheeses. It’s an old-world classic with a brand-new twist!
