Windsor, Ontario is a haven when it comes to beverages. Not only are we the birthplace of Canadian Club whisky and known as Whiskytown, Canada, but, we make award winning beers and wines here, too. Heck, Windsor just may be the best place in Canada to drink a lager.
As a result, we have some great festivals to celebrate the drinks we make. Here are 3 festivals we think would make great gifts for those who value making memories over getting stuff.
CAB FRANC FESTIVAL
June 28-29, 2019
There’s a new festival coming to Windsor, Ontario in 2019 and folks are getting pretty excited about it. While the Cab Franc Festival will focus on, well, Cab Franc wine, all different varieties will be available for purchase. Tickets are available online now for $20.
2019 WHISKYTOWN FESTIVAL
August 10, 2019
Celebrate the golden nectar that made this town famous. Whiskytown Festival is a good ol’ fashion garden party on the grounds of St. Mary’s Church in Old Walkerville. You may question our choice of location, but, it is, after all, the church that whisky built and was named after Hiram Walker’s wife. With a variety of vendors, cocktails and a range of whiskies, it’s a great opportunity to try something new or enjoy something old. Tickets are available online for $30.
2019 WINDSOR CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL
October 18-19, 2019
Be a part of the festival that pushed the craft beer movement into high gear. The Windsor Craft Beer Festival is the first and original craft beer festival in the region and is a sell out nearly every year. And for good reason too. With nearly 100 craft beers on top, one of a kind cask ales and marching bands, well, you’re not going to find a better festival out there. Tickets are available online for $27.
