A Place For Every Event

Why Whistler? It’s the ultimate road trip

It’s a place where you can ski the world’s best slopes or shoot icy cold glacier rapids. You can melt away at a spa or at dinner with gold medal chefs. Here you can bounce beds in the world’s finest mountain resort hotels and zipline into the ballroom. You can fly from one glacier peak to another in heels or keep your feet firmly planted on forest pathways that lead to an alpine village. Why Whistler? Because this place will inspire your people to dream, to learn, to appreciate, to play and to connect in one of the world’s most desired destinations. But most all, it’s because they’ll remember who brought them here.

Off the Vine—Niagara’s Famous Wine Country

Niagara is the birthplace of Ontario’s rapidly growing wine industry, making the heart and soul of the region our ever growing, always innovative wine country. With over 120 wineries, Niagara’s unique microclimate provides us with bountiful harvests of world-class wines. Feasting amongst the vines is an unforgettable experience. Delegates will feel more connected to their surroundings and each other when dining farm to fork and drinking vine to glass. With the Niagara Escarpment and picturesque rolling landscape backdrop, this is a one-of-kind experience that can’t be had indoors. From boutique winery estates to large production operations, Niagara’s wineries are perfect conference and event offsite options for delegates numbering up to 650 guests. Better yet, a progressive winery dinner can use multiple wineries, providing a unique experience for each course. An authentic Niagara experience is guaranteed!

ON A CELLAR LEVEL

Host a dinner in the barrel cellar of one of Niagara’s wineries, enjoying both local food and wine. QUITE A PAIRING Have a sommelier and a chef prepare a specially paired food and wine menu for attendees.

VINE HOPPING

Organize a travelling “dine around” event, going from winery to winery with each course.

BLIND DATE

Organize a blind wine tasting event as a team building experience.

WHERE THERE’S FIRE

Have a bonfire, wine and smores’ event or even better—homemade ice-wine marshmallows over the fire!

EN PLEIN AIR

Dine outside in the vineyard, it’s a setting that can’t be duplicated.

GOING FOR GOLD

Get a group to participate in the winery olympics. Is your group oversized? Not too worry—we’ll divide your group over several wineries but still deliver a unified experience. With the Rendezvous Canada Event a mass movement of 1500 persons was executed from Niagara Falls to wine country over five wineries for a unique wine pairing culinary experience. Afterwards, the entire group was transported back into Niagara Falls for an after-party at DragonFly NightClub | Fallsview Casino Resort.
