Links to some of my favourite places

Let Niagara Vintage Wine Tours do the driving as enjoy the wine. Tours range from ½ day to full day, evening, as well as private dinners in the cellar at Casa Mia! If you book a full day tour and let owner Chris Fuccillo know that are a guest at one of my houses he will include lunch at no cost. All lunches are prepared by the Stone Road Grill.

Why does the sign say "REST"? While waiting for the sign painter the owners asked a worker to scrape off the previous restaurant’s name. He was a little too enthusiastic, by the time they checked only "REST" was left! The name stuck.

Whether you're from Ontario, or a visitor to Ontario, plan on spending several days in wine country there's just so much to see and do. ANYTIME. ANY SEASON. ANY REASON. Wineries are open year round and each season brings its own special rewards.

Tickets for the Shaw festival go on sale on Monday 5 January. This is for all non members, so some seats will already have been booked. But I am sure there are lots left!

As the powerful Jet Boat speeds upriver, making their way into the breathtaking stonewalled canyon that is the Niagara Gorge. The anticipation builds as the boats splash into the whitewater of Devil's Hole Rapids. My favorite tour. I have been 4 times! See the River and Gorge from a new angle and be prepared to get very wet.

If you looking for green fees or practice facilities, this site offers you a complete guide to many of the Niagara region golf establishments.
