Wine Country

The breezes off Lake Erie and the rich soil left behind by the glaciers that carved out the Great Lakes makes Ohio's Wine Country prime for grape growing. Pull up a chair and enjoy tastings, see the sights and explore what makes this distinct region so special.

Must See: Choose from over 30 wineries in the area, like Kosicek Vineyards, Ferrante Winery, Cask 307, Laurentia Vineyard and Winery, and Old Firehouse Winery in Lake County. Fetch Fido for some fun with a visit to one of the area's dog-friendly wineries. Wind down the day by taking in the sunset over the vineyards at South River Winery. Take a drive and uncover the 19 Historic Covered Bridges in Ashtabula County.

Must Eat: Rejoice with a good meal at Rennick Meat Market. Lunch at Harbor Halcyon. Satisfy your sweet tooth with chocolates from Marianne's Chocolates and cupcakes from Little Charlie's Bake Shop. Enjoy a pint from Pulpo Beer Co. -- the first Latin-owned brewery in Ohio that's women and family-owned.  

Where to Stay: Cozy up at The Lodge at Geneva-on-the-Lake. Feel the breeze off Lake Erie at The Lakehouse Inn. Getaway with a romantic stay at Vineyard Woods. Enjoy a Tuscan-inspired getaway at Gervasi Vineyard in Canton.
