Blenheim Tourist
Information Centre Offers information on
Local Tourist Attractions
Looking
for a few tips on where to go in the local
area? Take a day away, need some informative
brochures of places to go. Looking for
directions, then look no further then the
Blenheim Tourist Information booth that is
located near the gates of Blenheim memorial
park. The local tourist booth has been up
and running for the past couple of weeks and
early indications show that people are
looking for local places to visit.
Families can take advantage of the economy
by taking in some of the local places
throughout Chatham-Kent instead of traveling
state side or beyond. Cora Vandehogen
along with Bradon Drouillard have been hired to
assist tourists with tips on their travel to
local destinations. Although it's
relatively early the booth has offered up
information and travel tips to over 250
visitors. Vandehogen indicated that people from
as far away as England have stopped into the
local tourist booth. She reports some of
the popular destinations people ask for is
Rondeau Provincial Park, as well as
Greenview Aviaries. Uncle Tom's Cabin in
Dresden along with the Elgin Settlement in
North Buxton are also popular destinations.
The tourist booth will be open to assist
both local and visiting travelers until
late August. The tourist information centre
is open seven days a week from 9 to 5 pm.

Visit
Smith & Wilson Estate Wines!
|
|
 Smith
& Wilson Estate Wines is located in the
middle of the Lake Erie North Shore wine
region. We have been producing and supplying
grapes to wineries for over 25 years. In
2005, we opened our own winery. As a small
family-owned winery, our philosophy is to
prepare small batch, quality wines to be
enjoyed with friends and family. Our
vineyards are grown on our third generation
century farm, with the vines growing on a
gently sloping gravel ridge that falls to
meet the north shore of Lake Erie. Our land
is sandy loam over a limestone lakebed base.
With these wonderful conditions we are able
to produce vintages of exceptional quality.
