Overview > Summary

Home to the largest waterfall in North America, the Niagara region is also a hub of renowned theater, history and a booming viticulture industry. Learn about its rich history and vibrant culture as you explore Niagara's heritage trail and stroll through fields of vineyards. Go behind the scenes at the Shaw Festival and admire the celebrated sites and historic homes on an architectural walk through Ontario's only National Historic District.

Highlights

• At the Shaw Festival, meet privately with theater professionals before the show to see the backstage world of rehearsals, costume design and creativity, as well as enjoying a matinee performance.
• Discuss with specialists at the Niagara College Wine and Culinary Institute the effects of terroir and micro-climate on Ontario’s fine wines.
• Meet with local experts on an overnight field trip to Chatham and explore the significance of the Underground Railroad on the road to freedom.
