One Tank Trips: Blossom touring this weekend at Blue Mountain Village

Explore the region

Heritage lilacs at Craigleith Depot

Recommended itinerary

If you are lucky enough to sneak away in the next few days a suggested route for amazing views & blossoms would be:

- Lilac alley at the Craigleith Heritage Depot (corner of Grey Rd 19 & Hwy 26)

- Top of Blue Mountain, or walk across Scenic Caves Suspension bridge

- Picnic stop at Ravenna Country Market (must try butter tarts)

- Wine tasting at Georgian Hills Vineyard (enjoy the cheese tray outside while wine sampling). Open 12-5pm

- Orchard wandering on any of the farms left, right or straight ahead.

If you have to wait until the weekend, Meaford expects their blossoms to peak. Take Hwy 26 west and stop at any of the markets open along the way including Goldsmith's (west of Thornbury) and Grandma Lambe's (east of Meaford).

For more touring ideas visit either the Visitor Information Centre at the entrance of the Village or the Guest Services team at Activity Central.

The Italian Walk of Fame (IWOF) has paid tribute to the extraordinary achievements of Italians both locally and globally in all fields with stars placed permanently and prominently in the sidewalk of College Street, in the heart of Toronto's famous downtown tourist destination known as "Little Italy" since 2009.

Co-Founder Jimi Bertucci explained. "We are thrilled to have an exceptional group of inductees this year. All are uniquely talented individuals."

We agree and hope you have your Jazz on the Mountain at Blue tickets for his twilight concert, Friday July 4th at 9pm on the Mountain. TICKETS HERE>>
