Remarks

This is Bruce Trail hiking with some serious hills. There will be wine bottles in your backpack, so this will be a work-out. I will see if I can arrange a winery tour. Vineland has done this for us in the distant past.

Après Hike

Before we stop at Jordan House in Jordan, we can check out Stoney Ridge Winery, located at 3201 King Street, Vineland Ontario, In addition to their wines, they have a cheese cellar.
