Essex is a town with a population of 20,427 in Essex County in southwestern Ontario, Canada, whose municipal borders extend to Lake Erie. On the 7th (Sat), look for gifts at Cindy's Home & Garden, indulge your taste buds at Lee and Maria's, then learn about winemaking at North 42 Degrees Estate Winery & Bistro 42, then do a tasting at Oxley Estate Winery, and finally do a tasting at Cooper's Hawk Vineyards and The Vines Restaurant. Here are some ideas for day two: get engrossed in the history at Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village, learn about winemaking at Viewpointe Estate Winery, then do a tasting at Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery, then stroll around Lakeside Park, and finally stroll around Seacliff Park.
