DEVOURED LOVED

Wine Country Ontario – #12DaysVQA Giveaway!

December 21, 2015

On the 10th day of #12DaysVQA The Curious Creature gave to meeeeeee ♫ Food and wine. Some of the best in the province. Is there a better gift? I think not! You see, I’m all about gifting experiences over the holidays (because those memories really do last a lifetime) so I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve partnered up with the lovely folks at Wine Country Ontario on a delicious giveaway — one that will have you feasting and drinking at a favourite winery of mine: Vineland Estates

Vineland Estates, niagara, wine country, wine, ontario, Wine Country Ontario

To get you amped up for the holiday giveaway, I thought I’d share some pics of the mouthwatering cuisine I devoured at their restaurant this summer…

Vineland Estates Winery, sirloin

Sirloin, artichoke puree, crispy shallots, black bean and corn salsa.

Vineland Estates Winery, pickerel

Pickerel, black bean corn salsa and cauliflower puree.

Vineland Estates Winery, dessert, clafouti

Whitty Farms Cherry Clafouti, berry compote, strawberry anglaise and earl grey gelato.

Excited yet?! I should also mention that Vineland Estates is one of the most beautiful properties in the region…

Not only are their buildings charming and historic (the former Mennonite homestead dates back to the 1840s), but they’re surrounded by the most gorgeous rolling vineyards…

And while the photos above were captured on a beautiful summer day during George Brown College’s Uncork Ontario tour a few months ago (more about that here), I visit Vineland Estates every season and can assure you that the property is absolutely breathtaking throughout the year — especially when it’s blanketed with snow. It’s the perfect place to cozy up inside, sip on a glass or two of exceptional wines and devour a local feast. And of course, you’ll want to share the experience with someone special, because great meals are meant to be shared! That’s where I come in. Yup, I’m about to give away a $150 gift card to Vineland Estates so you can enjoy a dinner at the picturesque winery…

This is exactly the kind of unique experience I love gifting to friends and family during the holidays so I’m really happy I can share it with a lucky winner. To enter, just leave a comment below and tell me who you’d take to dinner and why. Make sure you also fill out the Rafflecopter entry (that’s how the winner will be randomly selected). Wishing you all the most wonderful holiday season surrounded by those you love and – of course – lots of great food and local wine! Oh, and for the last minute shoppers out there: I strongly recommend gifting a local Wine Country Ontario experience this year — from bike tours and cooking classes to spa packages and festival tickets, there’s something for everyone on your list. Yeay for gifting local!

UPDATE: Giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Jacqueline M. on the win! Hope you have the best time in Wine Country Ontario on your first anniversary!!

    I would take my husband Len. When we married, it was for better or worse, in sickness and in health. Unfortunately, we have had our fair share of the “in sickness” part of our vows. I have battled cancer twice and still battling a third, CLL or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Through it all, I have kept my sense of humour and laughed when I lost all my hair, even my eyelashes yet still had to shave my legs! I am so fortunate to have a husband who has stood by me through the “worse” part of our vows. We honeymooned at NOTL and would love to go there again.
