This place is our hands down fave for big boy Sammy’s! Kyle and his team make the best of what’s around with all local stuff. Just go look at their Instagram and you’ll be rushing over! Tell’m Kitch sent ya, they love that and might get you a few extra awesome fries. Expect a line but attached to the cutest garden market and petting of the goats at Carson’s. Pretty easy to burn an hour or 2 here.

Gorgeous lakeside patio scene. Foods been hit or miss in our experience but it’s growing pains it’s coming along we think. Beautiful pool vibes very south beach . You can get day passes for $30. Parking is a nightmare. Go park at lcbo down the street and walk it.

Small artisan wines. Nothing too fancy but our hands down fave whites with the nicest owner we’ve yet to meet. Often looks closed or deserted but worth the trip up the driveway. And just around the corner from home - east bike ride. Across street from the well established Karlo Estates.

Loch Mór Cider Company
890 Danforth RdAlways great live music. One of the very few open later with a cool wine bar lounge scene in the basement. Go for walk in the vineyards to the old stone bridge for a nice stroll. Not much for food options here just vegan charcuterie.

Camp fire flavour is the only reason we go to this always lined up ice cream joint. A sec one location Main Street Picton is also an option if your looking for artisan stuff.

Sightseeing
It’s sandbanks little brother. Way less busy bit more of the country vibe than the very busy sandbanks. You’ll still need to call and check for day passes and reservations on busy weekends. We imagine if you’re coming here to go to the beach you want to go to Sam Banks but this is an option.
We don’t recommend WELLINGTON beach.
