Kingsville is the most southernly town in Canada and 15 minutes away from Point Pelee National Park which has a great long marsh boardwalk and outstanding shore lines. You can walk out to the very tip and stand on the most southernly part of mainland Canada which is on the same latitude as Northern California. Kingsville itself is a beautiful town and easy biking to see historic neighborhoods. Restaurants are good and easy to find on the main street. Service was great and people we ran into were very friendly and helpful if we had a question.

Walkable main street - several interesting shops, many restaurants ( those we tried very good), top notch butcher shop, bakeries (yum,yum), Christian book/gift store ( a bonus for me), close by beaches, museums, country stores/farm markets. Jack's gastro pub great - attentive, good service, best Caesar salad ever, great burgers.

We booked last minute and didn’t do much planning (very uncharacteristic for us). I was worried that we wouldn’t get to see or do much because of the lack of planning but my expectations were far exceeded. This town has the most friendly residents! Our first morning we wanted to take the ferry to the island but there was no availability for booking online. We called the office and even though the ferry had been out of service due to weather for the past few days, they found 2 walk on spots for us. Once on the island we rented a golf cart (this was an incredibly fun way to get around). We visited the winery and had the whole place to ourselves. Several staff were serving and preparing charcuterie and tastings for us. They were so excited to finally have visitors again! The price of the wine tasting and charcuterie was about 1/3 of the cost of what you’d pay at a niagara winery. That night we ate at the grove and the service and food were both excellent! The next day we visited Kingsville winery and had another amazing experience with the tasting and staff. The last item on our itinerary was the marsh. It ended up being a beautiful day for a walk but unfortunately too windy for a paddle. Will definitely be visiting again! Things we’d do differently: As history lovers, we’d definitely book a tour at Vin Villa ahead of time. We might also reserve the ferry ahead of time so that we have our car to travel around the island. This would just be to save money since the golf cart rental was pricy. If cost didn’t matter I’d 100% go with the golf cart again. It was a lot of fun! I also wish we’d made more time to hike to the southern most tip of the island. Since it’s a small town not everything is always open. Definitely check the days/ times your desired locations will be open! A visit to Kingsville and Pelee island doesn’t require much planning but it’s definitely a good idea to plan some things ahead.
