The moments that shape this trip.

Planning Toronto, Niagara & Prince Edward County.

Spend the first days in Toronto, from St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery District to the Royal Ontario Museum and a ferry to the Toronto Islands. Drive around Lake Ontario to Niagara Falls for a boat ride into the mist at Horseshoe Falls, then base in Niagara-on-the-Lake for wineries, Fort George and the Shaw Festival. End in Prince Edward County, an island of vineyards, cideries and the dunes of Sandbanks Provincial Park.

Good for Couples and friends who want a city break paired with easy wine country.

When to go

May to October is best, with September and October bringing harvest in both wine regions. Summer is busiest at the falls and Sandbanks. Winter brings icewine season and the Niagara Icewine Festival in January.

Getting around

Toronto is best on foot and TTC transit. A car is easiest beyond it: Niagara is about 1.5 hours away, and Prince Edward County about 2.5 hours east of Toronto. GO Transit runs seasonal trains to Niagara Falls.

Tips for your crew

  • Book Sandbanks day-use passes online in summer; the park fills early.
  • Use a designated driver or book a winery tour in Niagara and the County.
  • Shaw Festival tickets sell out for summer weekends; book in spring.
