Culinary Excursion

If the change of seasons conjures up thoughts of escaping the city, exploring the outdoors, and embarking on a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure, then a Blue Mountain getaway should be top of your Summer bucket list! Culinary Tourism in our area is a big deal. With an array of over 20+ restaurants & eateries in the Village to fresh farm-to-table experiences along the Apple Pie Trail, Blue Mountain is THE Ontario hub for tantalizing your taste buds.

Wake up and walk to the Sunset Grill, located at the top of Water Street. Enjoy a delicious breakfast from an array of choices, and get extra cute photos with their selection of giant novelty mugs and salt & pepper shakers - a very homey touch!  Or try a relaxing morning  breakfast at Oliver Bonacini Café Grill conveniently located in the lobby of the Westin Trillium House. 

For a quick grab n' go breakfast, enjoy a next-level coffee or latte from Royal Majesty Cafe before starting your adventure on the Apple Pie Trail. If you're a creature of habit, no worries! You can also find Starbucks and Tim Hortons in the Village for your go-to caffeine fix!

Walk through the Events Plaza in the Village and take a ride on the Open-Air Gondola*, which provides stunning 360 views of Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment (Explore Pass Required). Walk off your breakfast with a stroll around the trails at the top or sit in the giant Muskoka chair for some fun photos with your family or friends. Don’t forget to reserve this experience before you head to the top.
 

From small-scale artisans to large-production organic farming, craft beer and cider to apple orchards and wineries, the foodie in you will be delighted by the variety of food & drink experiences along the Apple Pie Trail. Visit Spy Cider House & Distillery for a glass of organic estate cider or a dram of eau de vie, a clear, all-local apple brandy. Head to Georgian Hills Vineyard for a glass of wine and a walk around the property for a look into northern viticulture and/or a vineyard tour. 

 

Ooooh and Spa-aaaah! 

It’s your time to relax and unwind. Let the indulgence begin with a massage or facial at iwa Spa, located right across from the Mill Pond. With group packages, yoga programming, and high-end retail selection, iwa is your place to Inspire Wellness Always. 

Check out iwa’s sister location, Beauty Bar at Blue, for some extra pampering. Featuring waterless manicures & pedicures, brow & lash services, and a blow-out bar, have your whole friend group looking photo-ready before heading out on the town!
