Although the name suggests otherwise, the Blue Mountains is an actual town in Grey County that consists of several small communities including Thornbury, Christie Beach, Clarksburg, Heathcote and Ravenna. The area is very picturesque and scenic in the summer months and during "apple season" in the autumn, but the town is most famous for its mountains. Tourists flock to Intrawest's Blue Mountain Ski Resort year-round for its wide array of offerings. If you aren't in the mood for skiing or snowboarding, take a stroll through Blue Mountain Village and enjoy a coffee at one of the cafes or a meal in one of the many restaurants located in the village.

Melissa at Axed was very accommodating to our last minute mid-morning booking for our family of four. Our 17 year old daughter was the lead in choosing this 'cool' event, to compensate for a rained out ski day. And, crazy but true - with no age restrictions, our 4.5 year old boy was able to be part of the fun! Instruction on safety and technique was very effective. Melissa was awesome with all ages, very personable and energetic. We'd go again just for the competition...now that we know how to get the bullseye!

This is one of the most unique stores I have ever visited. From their delicious home made fudge to their fantastic selection of giftware with prices from $2.00 to hundreds of dollars they have it all. The staff are always beyond friendly and helpful. Every time I have family visiting I make The Old Stanton store a must do activity.

My 3 year old daughter and I went for a fun afternoon and the "Pottery" class was our highlight! The techniques shown to us were very helpful and made it easy for my daughter to paint her Shark on her own the way she wanted! We had so much fun and it was just the right amount of time for a busy toddler. We cannot wait to receive our "surprise" in the mail and come back for more additions to her shelf.

My first massage in four months was a perfect experience! Iwa has done an amazing job to make clients feel safe and the attention to detail on every aspect of cleanliness, staff training, and social distancing is benchmark. My therapist, David, was brilliant. I would recommend this experience 100%. The follow up on the volcanic rock was completely relaxing and the retail therapy of lululemon was perfect. (By the way great selection and no long lines like you experience in Toronto). All in all an amazing way to spend an afternoon.

Located on a picturesque hilltop near Ravenna, Ontario with stunning views of Georgian Bay and only 20 minutes from Collingwood and Thornbury, The Roost vineyard and winery is a fantastic place to experience cold-climate wines in a spectacular setting. The Roost is about bringing friends and family together in a beautiful and relaxing setting, allowing them to dream away an afternoon or evening - accompanied by a glass of wine of course! Reservations are required to visit the winery. Please book through our website.
We had the loveliest time at this winery - a hidden gem in the area. Their attention to detail is evident everywhere, including pandemic protocols that put us at ease for an indoor wine tasting in their beautiful restored barn/tasting room. Moreover, when dark storm clouds rolled in and we received tornado warnings on our phones the owner graciously moved everyone downstairs to wait out the storm and do an impromptu winery tour. The wines exceeded our expectations and the staff were knowledgeable and attentive. And the cheese plate was so good! Highly recommend.

My new husband and I are in town on a mini honeymoon for a few days. My family really enjoys cider so I was very excited to see the process. Sadly, the business is not open for tours. We decided to stay 7and try the tasting menu and I am so glad we did. Our flight today included honeycrisp, cranberry, blueberry-elderflower and blood orange ciders ($10 - great selection and totally worth it!) We additionally tried the raspberry and rose ciders ($8ish for a pint). Our personal fav was the cranberry. Our server knew qe had just had lunch and because the place wasn't busy, let us just sip and lounge for a few hours.
