"This small town is across the river from New York State, and is aptly named for its location: The town rests at the point where the Niagara River meets Lake Ontario. The town is quaint, offering some insight into small-town Canadian life. Although it has several historic sites, the town is known for its summertime Shaw Festival, a series of theatrical productions. The surrounding region is famous for its wineries, and most visitors to Niagara-on-the-Lake will opt to hop on a winery tour to try local wines. Some well-known wineries include Peller Estates, Inniskillin, and Hinterbrook, which are all fantastic spots for lunch and a wine tasting." - MATADOR_NETWORK
