Things to Do
Niagara-on-the-Lake is a charming town full of history, beauty, and endless things to explore. We hope you'll fall in love with this town just as much as we have! Known as the "Napa of the North," there’s certainly no shortage of wine to enjoy, but trust us - there's so much more to this town than just sipping and swirling.
We’ve put together a list of some of the best activities to help you make the most of your weekend, in between wedding events (and maybe a wine or two):
Wine Tours
When you're in Niagara, a wine tour is a must! Niagara VQA wines are among the best in the world, and whether you prefer a bus tour (we recommend Grape Escape or Niagara Getaways Wine Tours) or a bike ride through the vineyards, there’s no shortage of amazing stops.
We highly recommend checking out our favorite wineries: Peller Estates
Zoom Leisure Bikes: Bicycle, E-bike Rentals and Wine Tours in Niagara
Bike tours are a fun way to explore - wine optional! Zoom Leisure offers regular and E-bike rentals in Niagara-on-the-Lake. For a leisurely ride, cruise the 53 km (32 mi) Niagara River Recreation Trail, a scenic paved path along the Canadian side of the river.
Brewery Tastings
If you’ve had your fill of wine (or need a break from the endless tastings), why not switch it up with some amazing breweries?
We recommend Oast House, Silversmith, Counterpart Brewery, and The Exchange Brewery.
Niagara Falls
A trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake isn't complete without visiting Niagara Falls! Get up close on the Maid of the Mist, zipline to the base, or enjoy panoramic views from the Skywheel.
Old town Niagara-on-the-lake
Stroll through Historic Old Town Niagara-on-the-Lake, where charming streets, unique boutiques, and cozy cafes invite you to relax and soak in small-town charm.
Grab a scoop of delicious ice cream at COWS or enjoy a cold beer at the iconic Olde Angel Inn - the oldest operating tavern in town.
Spa Experiences
Treat Yourself! Whether you’re unwinding after travel or celebrating, a little pampering is well-deserved.
124 on Queen Hotel & Spa and Pillar and Post's 100 Fountain Spa offer indulgent services from mani/pedis to massages and more.
Golf
Established in 1875, this is the oldest golf course in North America! This 9-hole course offers stunning views along the shores of Lake Ontario - perfect for a scenic round followed by lunch at the clubhouse.
For the Historian
If you’re a history buff or just love discovering local stories, check out the Laura Secord Homestead, Queenston Heights Park, Fort George National Historic Site, and the Mackenzie Printery for a fascinating look into the area’s past.
