The days are long but the summer is short, which means it’s time to treat yourself and your sweetheart to a romantic three-day getaway. Our three-day Perfect Pairings itinerary will take you through some of Vaughan’s notable date spots!
Day One:
It’s time to find somewhere beautiful to get lost in. Start your weekend getaway with a stop at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. Known for its extensive art collection paying homage to Canadian artists and Indigenous art, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection is also home to several acres of beautiful green space. Grab a coffee from the McMichael Café and spend your morning strolling through years of history, art, and wildlife.
We know that wine tasting is a common activity for couples, but what about cheese tasting? For your next stop, satisfy your tastebuds with some exquisite cheese from Quality Cheese, located 15-minutes from McMichael’s. Brother trio Albert, Joseph, and William Borgo have dedicated their lives to perfecting the art of cheesemaking, earning multiple awards, and gifting us with delicious cheese. Select your favourites, add some crackers, grab a blanket and drive 12-minutes down to Boyd Conservation Park to enjoy an afternoon picnic or leisurely stroll.
It’s time for dinner and we know just where to guide you. Share a bowl of pasta – Lady and the Tramp style – or split a fine Italian pizza at Trio Restaurant. Serving up the finest Italian cuisine, Trio Restaurant is a romantic, picturesque fine dining experience that can only be enhanced by a glass of carefully curated red or white wine. Conveniently located within the Novotel Hotel, enjoy a nightcap before heading up to your room for the night.
