Love this shop,. We always stop by after we have lunch at he Erie Beach hotel for fresh person from Lake Erie. We are from Virginia US but have family in the area so we always stock up on Jenny's cheese when we are in the area. Jenny is very knowledgeable about all her cheese and we especially love trying the Canadian Cheeses. Would not be a trip to ON without vising her cheese shop. As soon as the border reopens we will be up there by visiting family, eating local perch and stocking up at the Dover Cheese Shop! This hosp is heaven for cheese lovers!

This is a small rural store that sells peanuts. They come in several flavours and there are free products to sample. Best of all are the Ontario grown black skinned peanuts. They have a slightly different peanut taste and are worth the premium price charged.

My husband and I have attended the Nov 11 parade and service at the Simcoe Carillon War Memorial many times. We've also enjoyed the music on a summer evening, and especially at Christmas. The history of the Carillon structure, the plaques commemorating those lost in war is reverent. The volunteers who play the bells during the Panorama Lights Christmas season are truly a local treasure.
6. Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery

Bonnieheath balances an authentic agricultural experience with the sophistication and class of an estate winery. Enjoy a glass of wine or hard cider as you explore our expansive grounds, where vineyards, orchards, prairie grasses, lavender fields and a natural wetland await you.

We went on a Saturday in July so I was worried it would be super crowded. We were pleasantly surprised that there were very few people there! With COVID restrictions you could still do a wine and cider tasting. We ended up buying some of each. We had brought a picnic lunch and a blanket, and sat amongst the lavender and enjoyed it. All you could hear were the bees buzzing! No traffic sounds, very peaceful. We walked on their path around the vineyard as well. Beautiful property!
7. Waterford Antique Market

We are a large antique market located in Waterford, Ontario just south of Hamilton. With 2 floors and over 70 vendors, we do our very best to offer our customers a little bit of everything. Our Vendors have some of the very best prices around, so come on in and take a look!

A wonderful market filled with great variety - traditional antiques and rarities to fab retro and vintage - there’s something for everyone. AND the prices are amazing - by far the most reasonable out of all the markets in the province. My weekly trips to this gem always turns up treasure which I can either flip and make money on or keep for my own collections! The place is clean, well organized, and always seems to have fresh stock throughout. It’s a perfect day trip- I work in lunch at Waterford’s famous Chinese restaurant and a stop at the fantastic community museum.

We visited today with a group of close to 20 people and they were extremely hospitable and accommodating. They set out cheeses and crackers for us to enjoy during our tasting. It is a cute winery with a lot of character and beautiful scenery! A lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine on the cozy patio overlooking the fall colors!
