Escape the city for a delightful day exploring the picturesque Durham Region on our "Gardens, Grapes & Gifts" bus tour! This curated itinerary offers a perfect blend of history, sensory pleasures, and unique shopping opportunities, all just a short and comfortable ride from Toronto.
Our first stop takes us to the magnificent Parkwood National Historic Site in Oshawa. Step back in time as you embark on a guided garden tour of this sprawling, beautifully preserved estate. Your guided tour, lasting approximately 60 minutes, will unveil the intricate design, diverse plant collections, and fascinating history of these stunning outdoor spaces. It's a truly rewarding experience for any garden enthusiast.
After our refreshing stroll through the gardens, we'll make a convenient stop at a local mall's food court for lunch with a variety of options to suit every taste. Please note that the cost of lunch is not included in the tour package.
Next, prepare your palate for an exquisite experience at Ocala Winery. Nestled in the heart of a picturesque vineyard you'll enjoy a wine tasting of four distinct wines, offering a delightful journey through their impressive portfolio. Beyond the tasting, you'll discover the charming, rustic ambiance of their century-old winery while soaking in the serene views of the surrounding valley and orchards.
To round off our day, we'll head to the charming White Feather Country Store. This beloved local gem, established in 1988, is Durham's largest country store and promises a delightful shopping experience. Beyond their own farm-fresh chickens and eggs, you'll discover an extensive gourmet deli and gift section brimming with unique finds, including home decor, fragrant candles, and locally handmade wood products. Don't forget to indulge your senses with their fresh-baked goods – their assorted breads, rolls, pies, cookies, and muffins are baked daily. This is the perfect opportunity to find a special souvenir or a tasty treat to bring a piece of your Durham Region adventure home.
