Make sure you pick your hotel well! No matter your price point, here are a few things we considered. FIrst and foremost? Location!

Unforgetable Places to Eat & Drink in Niagara
One of the most memorable things about this trip was the food! There are so many amazing places to eat. We ate at memorable places every night. Oh the food!
Put this place on your list! Everything our table ordered was incredible. The Queso was the best I've ever tasted and the freshly cooked chips made it absolutely heaven! Coconut Shrimp Tacos were to-die-for. Get the Marguerita Tower while you're at it. The Lime was amazing.
Taco N Tequila
This was one of the coolest eating experiences I've had! We did the All-You-Can-Eat & Drink Friday night. Dinner started at 9PM and within minutes of sitting at our table, the wait staff with long skewers of meat and sharp knives arrived at our table, shaving off their mouth-watering selections. The drinks were generous and strong. The entertainment was lively and attention-grabbing. And trust me on this one, do not order any sides…. just eat the meat and the roasted pineapple. Simply incredible!

A beautiful, elegant and classy place to eat. Be sure you arrive in enough time to tour the property and do not pass up on the opportunity to have a Frose (pronounced frozay). Simply frosty and delicious and you can take your glass home too! If you're super lucky, you might be able to take in a concert like we did! Unforgettable evening.
Trius Winery & Restaurant
This was an incredible experience that combined amazing breweries, distilleries, wineries, and cideries! We started off at Wayne Gretzsky Estates and enjoyed two other wineries and a cidery. Incredible experience and our driver, Pat, in his sleek black Mercedes Benz Sprinter van was the most incredible host.

My favorite accessory for touristing as I call it is a solid, generous cross-body bag so that I can stash a water bottle and have my hands free, if necesary. Classic and elegant, yet big enough to handle whatever my essentials for the day are.
