Warm, energetic and committed to helping others succeed. Hala was so grateful when she invited her onto her podcast to talk about Spirit of Niagara, and her EmpowHER gatherings are such a refreshing way to connect. A wonderful example of what makes Niagara's community special.

Hospitality is about creating moments people remember. That's what we're building with Glow in the Cellar | Music Edition. From the intimacy of the Jim Cuddy experience to an exceptional wine and culinary journey at Peller Estates, every detail is designed around connection.
Corporate hospitality, reimagined. 🎶🍷 Jim Cuddy. An intimate fireside conversation. Exclusive acoustic music. Exceptional wine and cuisine at Peller Estates. Just 100 guests. Explore: glowinthecellar.ca #GlowInTheCellar

Jim Cuddy is coming to Glow in the Cellar! ✨🎶 When we created Spirit of Niagara, our vision was to bring together extraordinary people, remarkable places and experiences that go beyond the expected. And this is exactly what we had in mind.
JIM CUDDY IS COMING TO GLOW! ✨🎶 Join us at Peller Estates for an intimate fireside chat and exclusive acoustic performance with one of Canada's most beloved musicians. An extraordinary evening of wine, food, music and stories. 🎶 Glow in the Cellar | February 27th, 2027

One thing I love about creating experiences is finding a setting that becomes part of the story. I couldn't be more excited about this one! Kurtz Orchards will be the home of Glow in the Vines 2027. I can't wait to bring this experience to life, we have plenty more to share!
THE SECRET'S OUT. ✨🌿 Glow in the Vines has found its 2027 home! 📍 Kurtz Orchards, Niagara-on-the-Lake 📅 May 15th, 2027 Wellness. Workshops. Wine. Food. Live music. And a few surprises. One extraordinary day. #SpiritOfNiagara #GlowInTheVines

At 13th Street Winery, there's Canadian art, sculpture, food, a wonderful bakery and a property that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Another great example of how many different ways there are to experience Niagara.
DISCOVER NIAGARA 🍷🎨 Come for the wine. Stay for everything else. Wine tastings. Canadian art. Sculpture gardens. Local food. And those famous butter tarts. 13th Street Winery is the kind of Niagara destination made for slowing down. #SpiritOfNiagara #DiscoverNiagara

This one is a little further out than most of the experiences we’re sharing—but it was too exciting to keep quiet. 🤍 Spirit of Niagara will be the official host of Dîner en Blanc Niagara in 2028. One thing I won’t be sharing? The location. You’ll have to wait for that. 🤍
YES, WE'RE TELLING YOU EARLY. 🤍✨ Spirit of Niagara will be the official host of Dîner en Blanc Niagara 2028. We have time to dream big—and create a Dîner en Blanc that could only happen in Niagara. 📅 2028 📍 That's still a secret. 🤫

A different environment changes the energy. It changes conversation. It gives people permission to step outside their everyday roles. I think we sometimes underestimate Niagara because, for many of us, it's so close. That's precisely what makes it such an extraordinary canvas.
Why does destination matter? Because where you bring people together changes what happens when they get there. And sometimes you don't have to travel far to feel far away. Think differently about corporate experiences. Think Niagara. #SpiritOfNiagara #CorporateExperiences

I have a special love for this side of Niagara. The family-run restaurants that have been there for decades. The places locals return to again and again. The places where you can walk in, order a great breakfast and just feel at home. Silks Country Kitchen is one of those places.
DISCOVER NIAGARA ☕🥞 Between the vineyards sits a Niagara favourite that's been serving comfort food since 1995. Family-run. No fuss. Big breakfasts. Hot coffee. Plenty of heart. Meet Silks Country Kitchen in Virgil. Sometimes, you just need to eat where the locals eat.

What started with the idea for Glow in the Cellar is evolving into completely different ways to experience Niagara. I’m pleased to welcome Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery as the home of our Glow in the Cellar Comedy Edition. We have lots more to share about what we’re creating.
Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery will be home to Glow in the Cellar | Comedy Edition. Niagara wine. Beautiful food. A spectacular setting. And plenty of laughs. More to come. #SpiritOfNiagara #GlowInTheCellar

We’ve produced a lot of corporate team-building experiences over the years, and the ones people remember are rarely the ones that feel like team building. Sometimes changing the environment is all it takes to change the way people connect.
What can a chef teach your team? 👨‍🍳 Communication. Trust. Timing. Creativity. Adaptability. Put your team in a Niagara kitchen and team building suddenly feels very different. And at the end? You share what you created. #SpiritOfNiagara #CorporateExperiences

Sicilian roots. Niagara ingredients. Cooking over fire. Meet Revé—a deeply personal Niagara-on-the-Lake dining experience, newly named a 2026 Air Canada Best New Restaurants finalist. One more reason to taste Niagara differently.

Another piece of the Spirit of Niagara story is coming together. Peller Estates Winery will be the home of Glow in the Cellar Music Edition. Finding the right setting matters enormously to me. The venue shouldn't simply hold an experience—it should become part of it.
WE FOUND THE PERFECT PLACE TO GLOW. ✨🍷 Peller Estates Winery will be home to Glow in the Cellar Music Edition on February 27th. An extraordinary Niagara setting—and just the beginning of what we have planned. Who's taking the stage? We're not telling. Yet. 🎶

It doesn't have to mean a ballroom, a predictable dinner and the same format year after year. Niagara gives us an extraordinary canvas to create something people genuinely look forward to—and talk about afterwards.
What if this year's holiday party didn't feel like a holiday party? ✨ Wine cellars. Beautiful dinners. Live entertainment. Unexpected moments. A Niagara overnight. Your people. Your celebration. Your Niagara. #SpiritOfNiagara #CorporateEvents #Niagara

This is exactly what excites me about Niagara. There is extraordinary talent here—and the latest MICHELIN Guide recognition is another reminder that Niagara has become so much more than a place to visit. It’s a destination to experience.
Niagara is having a culinary moment. ✨🍷 The 2026 MICHELIN Guide celebrates five Niagara favourites—from Two-Star Restaurant Pearl Morissette to new Bib Gourmands Les Incompetents + RPM Bakehouse. The world is tasting what Niagara has to offer. #SpiritOfNiagara

One thing I love about creating an experience is imagining how it can continue to evolve. In 2027, Spirit of Niagara is taking Glow in the Cellar in a new direction with new special editions—the first is one I’m particularly excited about. Glow in the Cellar | Music Edition. 🎶
Glow in the Cellar is evolving. ✨ In 2027, we’re introducing special editions of Glow—beginning with: 🎶 GLOW IN THE CELLAR | MUSIC EDITION An intimate cellar. Exceptional food & wine. And a very special musical guest. Who? We’re not telling. Yet. 🤍

I've always believed that some of the most valuable business lessons can come from people outside of business. A Niagara grower sees long-term thinking, resilience, stewardship and uncertainty through a very different lens.
What can a grower teach your team? 🌱 Long-term thinking. Resilience. Stewardship. Adapting to the season. Knowing what you can influence—and what you can't control. In Niagara, some of the best business conversations don't have to begin in a boardroom.

One of the things I love about Spirit of Niagara is continually discovering places that offer a different way to experience the region. NEOB Flower & Lavender Farm is a beautiful example— another reminder of just how much there is to discover beyond the places we already know.
DISCOVER NIAGARA 💜 Wander among 20,000+ lavender plants, pick your own flowers or simply slow down and enjoy 12 beautiful acres at NEOB Flower & Lavender Farm in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones you didn’t expect.

This one has been very hard to keep quiet. 🤍 I recently travelled to Montreal for what might have looked like a beautiful evening out—but there was a little more to the trip than that. A very exciting new chapter for Spirit of Niagara is coming.
Something extraordinary is coming... 🤍 A recent trip to Montreal. An unforgettable evening. And perhaps a few clues hidden in these photos. 👀 We’ve been keeping a pretty big Spirit of Niagara secret. Any guesses? Announcement coming soon. ✨

Some of the best corporate experiences aren’t about adding more programming. They’re about designing the day differently. Niagara gives us an incredible opportunity to rethink how wellness can become a natural part of leadership retreats, meetings and corporate gatherings.
INSPIRATION | When Business Meets Wellness. A vineyard walk. A meeting outdoors. Time to move, breathe or simply recharge. In Niagara, wellness doesn’t have to become the agenda—it can be thoughtfully woven through the experience.

Niagara keeps giving us new ways to experience the region. The newly opened Brook Brew Co. combines local roots, craft brewing, hospitality and a beautiful Lake Ontario setting—and adds something a little different to Niagara’s growing hospitality landscape.
DISCOVER NIAGARA 🍻 There’s a new place to raise a glass in Beamsville. The Brook Brew Co. brings together craft beer, seasonal food, community and beautiful Lake Ontario views. Another great reason to linger a little longer in Niagara
