Canada’s Wine Regions: Niagara
Short distances from Niagara Falls, Ontario are two of Canada’s most popular wine-country destinations. Both are located in the Niagara Region and are set between the picturesque Great Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment.

Ancient Sites of Verona, Italy
Verona, Italy, is located in the northeastern region of Veneto. It is known as a romantic and ancient city that is often overshadowed by larger tourist destinations like Venice. Although many people flock to Venice when in the north, Verona is a welcome escape from crowds as well as a relaxed, pleasant and historically rich place to visit. Famous as the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Verona was a Roman city, and many Roman ruins have been preserved, notably it’s Arena. Most of the historical sites which grab the interest of tourists date back more than 800 years.
