Many people may not realize that Canada’s Niagara Region is not only home to a ‘natural wonder’, but a rich agricultural area, as well. The Niagara Escarpment is a 725 km (450 mile) long shelf/transition zone running through southern and central Ontario. In this area, the climate is moderated by lakes Ontario and Erie, with mineral-rich soils throughout. This unique combination, the lakes effect and extremely fertile soil, join in the Escarpment, this rocky transition zone between different physiogeographic zones, to make a grape grower’s paradise, and home to some world renown wineries. Because the cooler lake air flows across the region in early spring, the buds are inhibited from blooming before the last frost.
The Escarpment climate is similar to that of other great wine regions in the world, such as Burgundy, the Loire Valley and New Zealand.
The Niagara Region, as it is known, is home to the great vinifera grapes, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Riesling. These vineyards are spread over 16,000 acres and are a site to behold in late spring and early summer.
Over 40 wineries make the Niagara Region their home and many tasting tours and special accommodations are available for the wine connoisseurs and everyday folks to enjoy their stay.
Whatever your preference, there is a great vacation waiting for you. Not only will you enjoy the great wines and beautiful scenery, but plan your stay at a 5 star hotel, in the heart of the city, or for a quieter respite, try one of the delightful period inns or bed and breakfasts. Make it a family affair. Bring the kids and stay at one of the incredible resort complexes.
What goes with a world class wine and accommodations? Great cuisine, of course. Canada is truly diverse in the cultures that call it home. This brings the influence of great world cuisine and the opportunity to enjoy an ‘around the globe’ dining experience.
The Niagara Region - a place of incredible cultural and natural diversity is waiting for you. Cheers!
