I am glad you enjoyed NOTL Ellie. It is a beautiful place and filled with history especially close to the Canadian identity. Dan and I have been going there for decades and the Shaw Festival is world class theatre. One of my most favourite productions was presented at the Shaw not too long ago - a very interesting and innovative version of Lady Windermere’s Fan.
And the wine tours are delightful. There is a great boutique winery called The Three Sisters that produces exquisite wines and they have a patio that serves a gourmet lunch that we will be re-visiting this trip round. The Niagara vineyards have some wonderful white wines and their reds are getting better too.

The last time I was in Niagara-on-the-Lake was when my cousin visited from Italy and we took him there to visit some wineries. During the tour of a winery, they showed us the machinery that they used in the production, and I remember that the bottling machine was made in Venice, Italy! So my cousin came from Italy to see a machine that came from Italy! (It was funny at the time. - really!) Any other time I’d been there was in summer or early autumn, but this time it was late November and very cold out, so the town was already all decked out for Christmas.
I remember a co-worker a couple of years ago who had planned a girls’ weekend in NOTL. They had booked wine-tastings and spa treatments, but she was upset when the weather forecast called for rain. She had imagined herself in a long flowing skirt, frolicking outdoors with her friends drinking wine, but with the rain forecast, her fantasy was shattered. And she had already bought a new flowing skirt to frolick in! Ha!

We just took a day trip out there while visiting Niagara Falls but would loved to have stayed longer. If we’d known better we would have stayed there for a few days and taken a trip to Niagara Falls rather than vice versa.

ellie, Why not to share here what kind of things make your trip exciting? I hope you love to share and let others plan a trip like you and enjoy the beauty of Niagara Falls. Your shared photos could also help in this regard. Will wait to see your reply because want to go for New York City for fun with mates.
