Hi there -
My husband and I will be in the vicinity in a few weeks. Any recommendations on hotel / B&B in the area? How about restuarants? Also, other than the Falls and nearby wineries - what else is there to do in the area?

Speaking of wineries - any suggestions?

Thank your for any info or advice

What is there to do? Hmmmmm


The main street of Niagara-on-the-Lake is littered with various upscale shops where you can pay twice as much as what something is likely worth.

You can check out the Shaw Festival at Shaw Festival the best of Ontario Theatre to see if something in the live theatre area tweaks your interest.

If history is your thing, you can visit the Brock Monument at Queenston Heights or take a tour of Fort George.

There are plenty of wineries to choose from. I personally favour Peller Estates and Reif Estate. On the other side of the coin, Frogpond Farm certainly had a catchy name and an organic presence, but the product in the bottle was more suited to brush cleaning than sipping. There's a neat map available at http://winesofontario.org/region_niag.php (broken link)

Hotel properties at Niagara-on-the-Lake tend to charge top dollar; there are much better deals available 10 miles down the road in Niagara Falls. That said, the Prince of Wales and the Queen's Landing Inn are both very nice properties.

I hope I get the name right, Strauss? winery has to be experienced.

As for accommodations just look for a B+B close to the main street and you'll be fine, I stay at: The Olde Angel Inn | Niagara-on-the-Lake Pub, Restaurant and Live Entertainment

Thank you for the advice. We had a wonderful trip. Kave - we took your advice and stayed at the Angel Inn. It was great - we walked everywhere and ended each night with a pint! Corner - we did not make it to the wineries you mentioned. However, we went to Jackson and had a personal tour of the place. It was great.

Iniskillin, hands down. Best icewine around! For accomodations, Princess of Wales, Pillar and Post. Not far up the road is Fort George historical site (just a little past the Shaw Fest venue), right on the water with wonderful views.
