Itinerary
Culinary Excursion
If the change of seasons conjures up thoughts of escaping the city, exploring the outdoors, and embarking on a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure, then a Blue Mountain getaway should be top of your Summer bucket list! Culinary Tourism in our area is a big deal. With an array of over 20+ restaurants & eateries in the Village to fresh farm-to-table experiences along the Apple Pie Trail, Blue Mountain is THE Ontario hub for tantalizing your taste buds.
Up & Ate'm!
Wake up and walk to the Sunset Grill, located at the top of Water Street. Enjoy a delicious breakfast from an array of choices, and get extra cute photos with their selection of giant novelty mugs and salt & pepper shakers - a very homey touch! Or try a relaxing morning breakfast at Oliver Bonacini Café Grill conveniently located in the lobby of the Westin Trillium House.
Time for a 'Pick me Up'
For a quick grab n' go breakfast, enjoy a next-level coffee or latte from Royal Majesty Cafe or Greekery Cafe before starting your adventure on the Apple Pie Trail. If you're a creature of habit, no worries! You can also find Starbucks and Tim Hortons in the Village for your go-to caffeine fix!
Going to the Top!
Walk through the Events Plaza in the Village and take a ride on the Open-Air Gondola*, which provides stunning 360 views of Georgian Bay and the Niagara Escarpment (Explore Pass Required). Walk off your breakfast with a stroll around the trails at the top or sit in the giant Muskoka chair for some fun photos with your family or friends. Don’t forget to reserve this experience before you head to the top.
Explore the Apple Pie Trail!
From small-scale artisans to large-production organic farming, craft beer and cider to apple orchards and wineries, the foodie in you will be delighted by the variety of food & drink experiences along the Apple Pie Trail. Visit Spy Cider House & Distillery for a glass of organic estate cider or a dram of eau de vie, a clear, all-local apple brandy. Head to Georgian Hills Vineyard for a glass of wine and a walk around the property for a look into northern viticulture and/or a vineyard tour.
Ooooh and Spa-aaaah!
It’s your time to relax and unwind. Let the indulgence begin with a massage or facial at iwa Spa, located right across from the Mill Pond. With group packages, yoga programming, and high-end retail selection, iwa is your place to Inspire Wellness Always.
Check out iwa’s sister location, Beauty Bar at Blue, for some extra pampering. Featuring waterless manicures & pedicures, brow & lash services, and a blow-out bar, have your whole friend group looking photo-ready before heading out on the town!
Retail Therapy
Continue your leisurely afternoon with a show through our charming pedestrian Vilage. Visit over 25 shops to browse the fashion collections from Madison Boutique, premium skincare at L’ Occitane, family styles at Hatley, or sample some delicious homemade fudge at the Olde Stanton Store.
Dinner in the Village
An array of options awaits you for dinner in the Village. Choose from one of 20 restaurants and eateries that offer something to satisfy any palate. Since it’s patio season, choose from one of 15 restaurant patios in the pedestrian Village, each with a unique view. If local ingredients are what you crave, pop over to Oliver & Bonacini Cafe Grill overlooking the Mill Pond or Rusty’s at Blue for their famous BBQ at the base of the mountain. If people-watching is your thing, Copper Blues Bar & Grill is the original Village restaurant, beautifully situated in the main plaza with views of the entertainment and festivals.
Night Moves
If a nightcap is in order, stop into Twist Kitchen & Cocktail for a signature martini, or if you're feeling extra groovy, check out the late-night parties at Kaytoo or Rusty's in the Village.
Village & Chill
Looking for a more low-key evening? Pick up all you need for a night in with grab n' go munchies from Firehall Pizza Co., Cheezed, or Mile High Poutine, paired with a craft beer to go from Northwinds Brew Pub. If you chose accommodations with an outdoor pool/hottub, you may also fancy yourself a late-night dip under the stars!
