Our recent visit to New
York and Ontario
We had such a wonderful time visiting a few more New York wineries, plus
our first Ontario wineries in June. It wasn't a usual winery adventure
for us. It was actually a family vacation to Niagara Falls with a few
winery visits added to the schedule. It was the first time my 8-year old
son set foot in a winery...and he said wineries were "pretty
cool". We
visited Willow Creek Winery and Vetter Vineyards in New York and
Coyote's Run Estate Winery and Chateau des Charmes Wines in Ontario. We
have another trip planned to New York very soon...and we can't wait to
schedule another trip to Canada to take-in more of the Ontario wine
experience. Visit the Winery
Adventures website to read the reviews of the wineries we visited
and see photos of our trip. Pictured:
