Spring means fresh and fresh means local and that’s where W.E. Heart Local comes in. For the latest and greatest and most freshness in Windsor Essex register for the W.E. Heart Local digital pass. Let it be your guide this spring, summer and into the fall for locally-produced fruits, vegetables, meats, crews, wines and more!
GET A TASTE
Stop into a winery, tour a vineyard, taste a crisp white or bold red and enjoy the wines that are produced in Windsor Essex, located at the same latitude as northern California. Pop some additional corks with the purchase of the EPIC Digital Wine Tasting Pass.
For the beer loving: lounge on a patio, crack open a cold one and explore the craft breweries in Windsor Essex that bring barley to beer. Better yet, purchase a Flight Log and expand your tour along the Barrels Bottles and Brews Trail.
For a crisp and refreshing drink visit the cideries partnered with W.E. Heart Local like Carolinia Cider Co., The Little Cider Company and Windmill Ridge.
Explore our rural roads and stop in to charming road side stands, farm fresh markets and filled-to-the-brim shops to bring home the delights that Windsor Essex has to offer. We’re talking everything from veggies to honey and lavender to freshly caught fish. Spend a day exploring or add it to your weekly rotation. Once you get a taste of freshness you won’t want to go without!
Speaking of your weekly rotation, you’ll want to add in the Amherstburg Farmers Market and Downtown Windsor Farmers Market for Saturday stops to visit the farmers and vendors that work all week to put their best for sale for you!
