Niagara Adventure: Nature to Wine

Prepare for a truly immersive day of exploration as we journey from the heart of nature to the vineyards of Niagara. Our adventure commences at the mesmerizing Niagara Glen Nature Centre. Prepare to be captivated by the wonders of this pristine environment. We'll embark on a slow-paced hike, savor breathtaking views, and immerse ourselves in the serene beauty of the Niagara River. Nestled along the majestic Niagara River, this natural haven is a treasure trove of beauty and biodiversity. Towering cliffs, lush forests, and ancient boulders await your exploration. Our guided hikes will take you through this enchanting landscape, surrounded by the sound of fast waters.

Next, we'll transition to the Henry of Pelham Family Estate Winery, where the magic of wine awaits. Delight in the finest local wines, and bask in the tranquil ambiance of the vineyard. You are invited for a tour at the winery after which you can explore the property or shop at the local farm store.

Moderate: Steep cliffs, rough trails, loose rocks overhead, and fast-running water. Please note, that the trail is very rocky and might be slippery when wet.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ACTIVEDAYS

To us, facilitating this event is about creating an environment that you can engage with in your own way. This is your experience and everyone has their own relationship with the outdoors and their bodies. We want to meet you where you are at — you can take part in the hike, or wander off on your own adventure.

Active Days is also a community. This is an inclusive space to meet new people, share stories and have fun! To us, there is no better place to get to know someone than the outdoors. We all share a desire to get out, explore and move.

ALL ACTIVEDAYS PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN A WAIVER. WE WILL BRING PRINTED COPIES OF THE WAIVER TO SIGN ON THE BUS. YOU CAN FIND A DIGITAL COPY OF A SAMPLE WAIVER HERE
