Driving Tour: Gourmet Niagara

Join PCA/UCR members on WEDNESDAY July 9 for the Fourth Annual Gourmet Niagara Driving Tour. After the success of last year’s event, we decided to repeat with a weekday event. This reduces the QEW traffic and gives us more food options.

After gathering for registration at the Niagara Gateway Information Centre adjacent to the QEWat about 10 am, our first stop will be one of the best-kept secrets in the Niagara area, the Painted Ladies of Grimsby Beach, a unique historic landmark. Then, we will have a private tour of three gorgeous prize-winning local gardens, conveniently located adjacent to one another.

Our route features winding back roads, and a number of passes up and down the Niagara escarpment, with fabulous views of Lake Ontario.

We will enjoy a delicious lunch at Upper Canada Cheese Co, the only cheese maker in the Niagara Peninsula. You may also choose to load up on some gourmet cheeses and baked goods with a complimentary 25% discount. Bring a small cooler!

There will be two sandwiches to choose from:

A variety of fruit drinks will be available for purchase.

When you register, please indicate your sandwich selection.

Our afternoon will start with a tour and tasting at Flat Rock Cellars, an award-winning winery, with fabulous escarpment and lake views.

After another drive through winding and scenic roads, we will end the day with a gourmet meal at 13th Street Winery, another renowned Niagara winery, where you will have the opportunity for socializing with fellow P-Car owners.

Our menu at 13th Street Winery will be:

We will be eating on the patio, weather permitting, or in the new events space in the art gallery.

The wine bar will be open.

We expect the event to end by 6 pm.

All stops feature excellent photography opportunities. You are encouraged to spend the weekend in the area, there are many scenic, culinary and entertainment options.

Highly Recommended:
