The Niagara Grape & Wine Festival kicks into full gear this weekend with free concerts, parades and events. The annual celebration of Niagara’s wine harvest showcases award winning wineries, winemakers and vintages as well as the region’s rich agricultural landscape.

The Sheraton Fallsview and Crowne Plaza Fallsview are extremely proud of the acclaim and attention Niagara’s wineries have received as the some of the finest producers in the World. The hotels have created two distinct packages that feature the Niagara wine experience including excursions to local vineyards. Our Ultimate Couples package features Winery Tour and Tastings at Hillebrand and Peller Estates, and our Art of the Blend Experience takes guests behind the scenes as they create, bottle, and label a custom blend red wine in a weekend experience that is unrivalled.
The Festival runs through September 26, 2010 and our packages are available year-round.

As Fall colours begin to hit the landscape and a chill blows in the breeze I thought I should take a few moments to offer suggestions for indoor activities in Niagara Falls for both a family getaway or couples retreat.

-Spend the Day in the Fallsview Indoor Waterpark which is a summer like 84 degrees everyday

-Take a tour of the Butterfly Conservatory

-Feel the Rush at Casino Niagara

-Experience the thrill of victory at Adventure City

-Ride the climate controlled Niagara SkyWheel, high above the cityscape for breathtaking pictures

-Experience the attractions, theme restaurants and shops on the Falls Avenue Entertainment Complex. You can start at Hershey and end the day at Rainforest Café without going outside!

-Treat yourself to a day of rest and relaxation at the full service Fallsview Christienne Spa which offers a wide variety of spa treatments and services.

Niagara Falls is truly a destination that can be enjoyed year round with each season offering a variety of excitement and opportunities that are not to be missed.

See you soon,

Well, we’ve had a great summer so far but that doesn’t mean the fun is coming to an end. Now is a great time to visit Niagara Falls because it is so beautiful and peaceful with the fall time coming so make sure you take a look at all of our hotel specials that we still offer.

The fireworks will continue to light up the falls on Fridays for the next couple of months and Labour Day weekend is a great time to take advantage of the $250 free Summer Sizzler Package as it expires at the end of the holiday weekend! Even though the weather will be cooling down you can still have a really fun vacation in our Fallsview Indoor Waterpark, just in case you missed out on relaxing by the pool this summer.

See you soon,

Every picture tells a story, and these are a few of my favourites. Each one captures the excitement, joy and wonder of March Break on Falls Avenue.

I hope to see you this weekend as we wrap up March Break 2009
