Last weekend Kent and I went on a mini getaway to Niagara. Both of us were pretty baffled that this area was only 45 minutes away but it’s like a different world. It seems like the entire region revolves around wine. Everywhere you look there are vineyards and wineries where you can stop in any time of day and they are more than happy to pour you a glass of wine for a tasting and teach you all about what they do. On Saturday we stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast (a wedding gift from some great friends), visited the tourist town of Niagara on the Lake, stopped in at a couple wineries, and went all-out on dinner at a winery. On Sunday we had the most extravagant breakfast of our lives at the b&b, met up with some of the aforementioned friends for lunch (but mostly just watched them eat after that breakfast), and visited a few more wineries. The second one winery we visited on Sunday, Megalomaniac, was extra-cool because it was underground and beautifully decorated. They even told our friends dog to come in. : )
It was a great little getaway and Kent and I are definitely planning to return once grapes and all of the other fruit are in season. Fresh peaches… mmm!
Wayne Gretzky Estates Winery – A serious hockey fan (Kent) can’t just drive past without going in to see if Wayne’s in town. This is the man who said he was going to meet Dog the Bounty Hunter in Hawaii – and then did. But Wayne wasn’t there, sadly.

Oh Mickey, you look so tanned and happy and relaxed (I hope you insides matched your outsides). I am super jealous of your vacay and I think we must do that together someday. Nice of Matt & Allison to visit you!
Oh me oh my, had I known I would make the blog I would have tried for a *cheesier* smile! And made sure the pup was looking perfect. Alas, I’m still excited I made the cut!
Sooo excited for you guys to return! We’ll have to make all sortsa plans and make sure we have the cooking extravaganza at our place too!
My boyfriend and I were in Niagara-on-the-Lake last fall! We had a wedding in upstate NY and decided to spend a night there and check out the Falls. I’d been once before, but he never had. We love visiting wineries, so we went to a few there and tried their ice wines, but didn’t see Wayne Gretsky’s winery. Next time! It’s such a pretty area, I definitely want to go back. Maybe this summer, since I have a wedding in London!
