The Ontario region of Peterborough and the Kawarthas are renowned for their fruit wines, boasting one of the largest selections in the province.
The Kawartha Country Wines vineyard features a well-stocked cellar, offering 25 different fruit wines and ten varieties of grape wine, reports Canoe Travel. The winery has a remarkable tasting room hosted in a restored log cabin dating back to 1866.
The second Wednesday of every month is the Five@5 tasting event, where guests can sample five wines paired with five different dishes – the event kicks off at 5 p.m., of course.
While in the region, be sure to check out some of the area’s more remarkable historical attractions, including the Lang Pioneer Village Museum – where villagers recreate a 19th century hamlet – or the Canadian Canoe Museum, which is said to have the world’s largest collection of canoes. The area also boasts one of the most comprehensive amassings of prehistoric rock carvings – called petroglyphs – in the country.
Lovers of the performing arts can catch a free concert at the Little Lake Musicfest on Wednesday and Sunday nights in the summer, or take in a play at the 4th Line Theatre.
