Huron Shores

Declarations of “Go West!” have never been more fitting for wine enthusiasts. The promise of greater things gradually emerges along the shoreline of Lake Huron as a number of wineries have established a beachhead in the region. While more activity on the vineyard front is sure to surface, keep in mind that stunning beaches, cultural activities, culinary adventures and more also beckon. Between vineyard visits and nosing around neighbouring villages, go squeeze some sand between your toes, savour lingering sunsets and toast the good fortune of fresh adventure.
