Niagara-on-the-Lake is the perfect area in Ontario Niagara-on-the-Lake is the perfect area in Ontario to visit at any time of the year 🇨🇦

If you’re a wine-enthusiast, you’ll be overwhelmed with the amount of wineries in NOTL to visit 🍷

For a unique experience, I’d recommend visiting @konzelmannwines 😍

In the fall, they offer their Fall Flights Outdoor experience where you sit around a private fire table while enjoying a sesonal flight of wine and a snack board 🍂

Would you like to do wine tasting in Niagara? 👍🏼

Kingston is one of the most historic cities in Can Kingston is one of the most historic cities in Canada, so it’s only right to stay in a beautiful historic building during your time in the city 😍

@belvederekingston is situated in a 19th century residence, and from here you can explore the waterfront, university campus, and downtown area very easily 🫶🏼

Everything from the entrance to the dining room, lounge, and bedroom are beautifully decorated, with plenty of original details still left in place. And their European-style breakfast is a great way to start the day too 🛌

This boutique hotel in Ontario is definitely not to be missed! 🇨🇦
