While there are many options for wineries in Prince Edward County, Old Third should be on your short list. Not only do they have a fabulous Pinot Noir and a tasting room housed in a restored century old barn, they have pasta. Really, really good pasta.

Wellington County House of Industry and Refuge- Fergus, ON
Constructed in 1877, this intricate stone Italinate designed by Victor Stewart served as Fergus' poorhouse, a refuge of last resort for the area's indigent. Consisting of mostly unskilled laborers left behind during the shift from agriculture to industry, the complex was initially designed to house 65 residents, who were expected to work to earn their keep. The property later expanded to include a a hospital wing, to accomodate the infirm and elderly.

Prince of Wales Hotel- Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON
Niagara-on-the-Lake is ridiculously quaint, with all the charm that Niagara Falls is missing. While there may be no falls, there are also no casinos or tacky tourist attractions. There is however a lovely main street and plenty of historic buildings, including the Prince of Wales Hotel.
