Privacy policyOntario has one of Canada’s most exciting food and wine scenes, with Toronto, Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Niagara Peninsula offering plenty to explore. In Toronto, you’ll find sophisticated restaurants, wine bars and hotels where Champagne works just as well for a special dinner as it does for a spontaneous glass at the bar.
Beyond the city, Ontario is particularly interesting for its own sparkling wine. The Niagara wine region has a cool climate and is known for traditional-method sparkling wines, making it a natural place to compare local bubbles with Champagne. And when it comes to what to eat with Champagne, oysters, fresh seafood, local cheeses and other Ontario produce are easy matches.
Ontario is a great choice if you want to combine a city break with wine country. Spend a few days exploring Toronto’s restaurants and champagne bars, then head towards Niagara for vineyards, sparkling wine and beautiful countryside.
