3 favourite food stops in Niagara-on-the-Lake

At Chocolate F/X, owners Wilma and Art Mills create divine chocolate delicacies in their spotless new St. David’s facility. And the Food Network has noticed, filming a program there recently. The chocolate factory, which holds up to 200 people, doubles as a venue for dinners, birthday parties, team-building sessions, dances, girls’ nights out and more.

The Chocolate F/X motto is: “If you can't dip it in chocolate, it's not worth eating.”

Always on the lookout for exceptional cheeses, I’m hooked on Cheese Secrets in NOTL. The store carries a variety of rare, handmade and farm-fresh cheeses from the Niagara region, as well as other parts of Canada and the world.

At Strewn’s Wine Country Cooking School, you’ll learn more about the relationship between food and wine. In recipes and menus, you’ll use locally grown fresh products that reflect the seasons.
