The Niagara region—with its pastoral wine route, sylvan valleys, world-renowned theatre, thundering falls and massive casinos—is a mix of Victorian bucolica and Vegas-ready neon. There are grand, pillared Edwardian estates, rolling vineyards, fine restos and one world wonder. Wend your way through Niagara and you’re likely to bump into as many ruby-cheeked farmers and grape growers as you are thespians, artisans, honeymooners and visiting blackjack junkies. Here’s what to see, do, eat and drink along the way.
Tip! A member of the Shaw Festival company provides a special introduction to the night’s play on the terrace of the Festival Theatre each evening at 7:30 p.m. until August 10.
