  • In this video we explored around Kingsville and Leamington, Ontario, Canada for an morning of sightseeing and early afternoon of winery visits. The Lake Erie North Shore is the southernmost appellation of wineries in Ontario.
    We made stops at:
    - Point Pelee National Park
    - Hillman Marsh Conservation Area
    - Lake Erie Beach
    - Mastronardi Estates Winery
    - Aleksander Estates Winery
    I hope you enjoyed the information and quick glimpse into the town of Kingsville and Leamingon, and if you have any questions about our experience, please leave them below!
    Stay tuned for the second part of our day exploring more of the Lake Erie North Shore wine region and heading back to Amherstburg, Ontario.

    Every video of yours reminds me of my times in Peele and Lake Erie. And -- there's always wine.

    Making the best of situations is the best way to go about things. It still turned out to be a great day. Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you! Yes we tried - gotta bet better at winging it in 2020.

    Looks like you day turned out well despite some minor setbacks due to closures. Hillman Marsh looked beautiful and those wines looked delicious!

    • @TheAverageTourist

      Yes 2020 is teaching me to "go with the flow" a bit more. I'm usually all about planning.

      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      Yeah he had a plan! I think he was trying to make the day a bit more fun since all my morning plans fell through. 🙃

  • @slightlyoffthebeatentrack7322

    It's great that despite it not working out how you'd hoped you still found plenty to do and took advantage of just having to wing it a little. It's really cool the conservation area worked on trust. I wish more places in the world did - maybe we'd grow in compassion and trustworthiness as a whole. Beautiful places.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      Yeah we had to wing it but it turned out ok in the end. Yeah I was surprised about the conservation area - we actually went to another one this weekend that was the same! Oh Canada :)

  • @rokgoesaround
    @rokgoesaround Před 3 lety

    We all know how it is if you travel and things you wanted to visit are closed. But you never know what the day will bring and it might be that you will see or do even more interesting things as you did. The winery looks beautiful. And open wineries are always a good things.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      Yes, if this year has taught people anything it's that sometimes you need to just go with the flow. We were glad to find some other activities and still enjoyed! Thanks for watching.

  • @TideKnotTravellers
    @TideKnotTravellers Před 3 lety

    We are also heavy sleepers, always sleep through storms (except recent hurricanes😅) shame stuff got closed as a result but at least you got to walk around in nature and didn’t get rained on!😊 also you found wine for $7.50 for 4 flights, amazing!🍷😋 like Welch’s grape juice!🤣

    • @TideKnotTravellers
      @TideKnotTravellers Před 3 lety

      Love that your day turned into a day of more wine tasting, I’d say your day turned out brilliantly! 😊🤩

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      @@TideKnotTravellers Yes our days have not been going according to plan, so I've been learning to go with the flow a bit more. We didn't hear the storm at all, so I guess that was good for our sleeps! The wineries definitely helped turn the day back around. 😂

  • @TravelInteresante
    @TravelInteresante Před 3 lety

    I very much enjoy visiting wineries! You heard a gunshot? That would have scared me too. I like drinking dry wine, not a fan of sweet wine! This was a really nice winery tour, thanks guys!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      Wineries are so nice and relaxing. No thankfully it was just the canon sound to scare the birds but it sounds similar. Agree with you on the dry wines :)

    @DjusLife Před 3 lety

    Sorry the day didn't turn out as planned. Looks like the windy and stormy lake. Glad it cleared up for your hike and the winery. That seems like a great price for the tasting of 4 wines.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      Yeah it was not the day we planned, but that seems to be the trend of 2020. We made the most of it :)

  • @GoTravelOnTheCheap
    @GoTravelOnTheCheap Před 3 lety

    So it goes at times whilst traveling...good that you are making the best of it--that's what we try to do too! (April likes your blouse, Sara... 😉) Interesting to learn that about birds stopping over there on the way south. Lol, your husband doesn't like being in the sun, eh? 😎 Hey, Wayne calls himself a whiskey and bourbon connoisseur too! Those olives look tasty. What is a tango wine?

  • @ActiveAlexis
    @ActiveAlexis Před 3 lety

    I love how you guys just go with the flow even if your plan doesn't work out! That's the way to go. Also, it's interesting how the parking fee there went on an honor system, I know many people might take advantage of that haha (but maybe not??). That snack platter in the end (i'm not sure how to spell it) looks so good! And those wines, yumm. My boyfriend and I love trying wines so this looks like a cool place to go.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      This year we've been trying to be more flexible since so many things are closed and rules keep changing. The park fee was so funny - we were at another park this weekend that did the same thing. We really liked the snacks and the wine 😍

  • @TheMapPinners
    @TheMapPinners Před 3 lety

    We love your love of wine! Shame that so many things are closed and that it was so gloomy but the winery is a fab Plan B. It looks like you found some lovely natural views despite the storm too which is nice. Happy the sun finally came out once you arrived at Lake Erie Wineries. lol "that's not a gun shot - I think that scared me more then the birds" haha awww I would be the same :) Enjoyed this video. Sorry your trip to Canada wasn't all what you had planned but still looked like you two had a nice time all and all.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      So many plans have been changed this year but I think everyone who tries to plan anything is in the same boat... thanks 2020! lol. Haha yeah that canon was loud and definitely startled me the first few times. As long as there's food and drinks available, we are fine 😂

  • @Explorcation
    @Explorcation Před 3 lety

    Hey guys! Things not working out just continues to be the theme of 2020!
    Sorry to see you couldn't visit the park due to the storm
    At least you found wine! I would like the one that tastes like alcoholic grape juice 😆 (we dont drink wine much if you cant tell!)

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      I know!! 2020 is teaching me to be a bit more spontaneous, and I LOVE to plan things so this is a hard lesson for me 😂 The park was one of the main reasons we went to the area, so we will have to go back in nicer weather. Ha, we probably drink too much wine, but eating and drinking seems to be the only things to do around here these days!

    Intro shot was so beautiful. Just heard that in Canada,
    lock down has been imposed again. Plz Stay safe.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      Yes some ares of Canada have lock downs in effect. Here in Ontario, Toronto and some surrounding areas are back in a modified lock down. Hope you're staying safe as well!

    oh man this winery looks awesome! and seems super cheap! hope you didn't feel too hung over after mixing white and reds lol

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      The wineries were great and reasonably priced. Nope felt good - the samples weren't too big :)

  • @AprilChu
    @AprilChu Před 3 lety

    Wine always makes a gloomy day better! That’s cool how the entry fee to the conservation area is through an honor system. You’re definitely a wine connoisseur at this point! Alcoholic Welch’s grape juice? 😂

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      Wine is always a good idea 😂 The conservation fee made me laugh - such a Canadian thing lol.

  • @AdventuresRUs
    @AdventuresRUs Před 3 lety

    Great video guys:) That good faith system would not work here, because the homeless would be helping themselves:(. Difficult these days to find good places to visit w so much closed, hopefully things will change soon! Safe travels !!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 3 lety

      This location was quite remote so I think it was an interesting concept. We actually saw it at another park we visited this weekend. Yeah a lot is closed so plans constantly change. Thanks for watching!
