Post Wedding Getaway

I know what you're thinking. Don't you mean "Honeymoon"?

Nope. It is what is. A post wedding getaway for a couple of days to chill out and have some one-on-one time after a crazy day (and weeks leading up to the wedding). Office Groom and I have decided that the actual honeymoon won't happen for a few months, mainly because of how my work holidays work. On the plus side it also gives us something else to look forward to.

However, the thought of just going back home after the wedding didn't sit well with us either. So we quickly decided that a few days away right outside of the city was just the ticket. And once we decided that, where we were going was a no brainer - Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Office Groom and I enjoy a glass (or two, or three...) of wine on our downtime, and we've been to the Niagara wine region several times to visit different wineries. We've always had a great time and it's a quick getaway that still feels like we're far enough away from home.

Wine & cheese? Yes please!

On our first trip down years ago, we stayed at this amazing B&B and have only been to that once since then - when you find a good B&B, you don't go anywhere else! It's so great in fact that we've kept it a secret from everyone, and yes, sadly that means you too :)

But that's not going to stop me from describing it lol. The B&B is surrounded by 20 foot spruce trees encompassing a half acre of beautifully landscaped garden. "Our room" is on its own private floor and has a charming bedroom with a king size bed, a separate living room with a view overlooking the spruce trees, and two washrooms, one of which has a claw foot tub! The service is spectacular and it's nearby all of our favourite wineries. Oh - and the bonus: the B&B also provides free bikes. There are one too manys stories of OG and I riding our bikes half in the bag....sigh...good memories :)

Another added plus is that we will be heading down during the middle of the Niagara Wine Festival! The Festival takes place from September 17-26 and has over 100 events including winery tours and tastings, concerts, Niagara cuisine, artisan shows, wine seminars, & live entertainment.

We actually booked it all this morning so that's one big thing to cross off our to-do-list. And now we have something else to look forward to... :)
