Niagara On the Lake, Ontario

While this last charming town in the Great Lakes area may not be in the US, it’s not too far of a drive… and we promise it’ll be worth it! Niagara On the Lake is a lively village in the heart of Ontario’s wine country with a population of approximately 18,000.

While here, you can take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage along the well-preserved, 19th-century, historic downtown area. Be sure to bring your camera along so you can snap some pics!

And housing more than 40 wineries, Niagara On The Lake is also a Must See Pace for anyone who enjoys the culinary arts.

Try the world-famous, sensationally sweet Niagara Icewine and get to the roots of Ontario’s best food. Check out Wayne Gretzky Estates, Inniskillin Wines, or Reif Estate Winery for a walk through the most fruitful vineyards in all of Canada.

A short drive through Niagara Falls and into New York will bring you to the site of Fort Niagara, used during the War of 1812, which lies across the Niagara River from Niagara On the Lake.
