Embrace Winter with a Getaway to the Hills!
With the hubbub of the holiday season past, now is the time for rejuvenation. And what better place is there for relaxation than at a Bed & Breakfast nestled in the countryside. Dotted throughout the hills and in our quaint towns & villages, these welcoming homes provide a wonderful change from the everyday accommodation.
Bring your skis, snowshoes or skates and plan for a day of outside activity. Nearby, there are several luxurious spas as well as a vast selection of fine dining establishments. WinterFeast runs from February 16th to March 6th throughout the region! At Parfect Conditions, golfers can choose from 28 simulated indoor golf courses. Cook up some romance at the Millcroft Culinary Class on January 17th with award-winning Executive Chef Roberto Fracchioni. Or join photography instructor Sylvia Galbraith and F-Stop Cameras on January 18th for a Winter Landscapes Photography field trip.
From February 19th through March 8th, take in an evening performance of Theatre Orangeville's presentation, I'll Be Back Before Midnight, a spine-chilling mystery thriller by Canada's master of blood-curdling screams, Peter Colley. Join the Orangeville Blues and Jazz Festival for the February Blues and Jazz Bash, February 7th, featuring an 18-piece jazz band plus Trouble & Strife with Special Guests.
Or simply enjoy a winter stroll through our heritage towns and villages exploring the many unique shops and antique stores that await.
