Get your fun-in-the-sun time in before summer sun slips away
Niagara-on-the-Lake
This quaint village, just 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 (www.nationalparkreservations.com). Its renowned Shaw Festival (www.shawfest.com) 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 3-day fall visit is also feasible – the festival continues until late November and harvesting season brings new vintages to try.
