Food and drink
Ontario’s appetizing array of food and drink is a result of diverse agriculture, climate and culture, especially in the fall, our most food-focused season.
The autumn months mark the end of the harvesting season in Ontario and are celebrated with pick-your-own farm events, fall fairs, farmers’ markets and harvest festivals.
From farms, fisheries and vineyards to fine dining restaurants, included MICHELIN-starred ones, great care and innovation goes into what’s grown, raised, produced and served.
Explore Ontario’s foodie flavours and meet the farmers, chefs, bakers, vintners and brewers who elevate food and drink in Ontario into a culinary adventure.
