Niagara-on-the-Lake
Niagara-on-the-Lake is one of Canada’s most beautiful, historic towns, surrounded by lush vineyards and some of the country’s most established wineries.
The charming Victorian town of Niagara-on-the-Lake was once the capital of Upper Canada, a delightful step back in time with a well-preserved heritage district, colonial buildings, boutique shops and horse-drawn carriages.
Niagara-on-the-Lake is surrounded by vineyards in one of Canada’s foremost wine regions, so a wine tour is a must. The town is particularly famous for its ice wine, a sweet dessert wine produced from grapes frozen on the vine.
Learn of the region’s history from the indigenous era to colonial times at Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum, while a worthwhile trip to the edge of town is Fort George, used to defend Canada from the USA during the War of 1812. Don’t miss Queen’s Royal Park, which commands views of the Niagara River and Fort Niagara across the US border.
In the evening, enjoy the food and wine in the town’s restaurants and check out the Shaw Festival Theatre, which stages plays written or inspired by the great George Bernard Shaw.
