Top 10 Labor Day Escapes

Niagara-on-the-Lake

This quaint village a short drive from the natural wonder that is Niagara Falls offers a different kind of Labor Day away, what with its equal servings of world-class theater and wine tasting. This delightful town couldn't be more different than its more famous neighbor, either; settled by United States Loyalists in the years following the American Revolution, Niagara-on-the-Lake is loaded with Victorian homes – many of which double as posh B&Bs – and memories of England, epitomized by the daily tea service at the regally appointed Prince of Wales Hotel. Its renowned Shaw Festival showcases the best of George Bernard Shaw and a host of other comedic playrights each summer, while nearby vineyards – some of which produce superb ice wine – are also within easy reach. If you can't make it for Labor Day, a three-day fall visit is also feasible – the festival continues until late November and harvesting season brings new vintages to try.
