Looking for things to do in Ontario this fall? If colourful forests, fresh country air, local food, craft beer and time outdoors sound like your idea of a perfect autumn day, add Quayle’s Fall Festival to your fall bucket list.
From October 1 to 31, Quayle’s Brewery in Oro-Medonte invites visitors to experience the season on its 87-acre hop farm, where autumn comes to life with fall activities, local flavours and plenty of opportunities to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.
A Classic Ontario Fall Experience
Set among hop yards, fields and forest, Quayle’s is a destination in itself. During the Fall Festival, visitors can enjoy farm-fresh craft beer made with hops grown on the property, seasonal food, live local music, outdoor games, pumpkin decorating, wagon rides and cozy fire pits. There are also special events throughout the month, including Hoptoberfest, artisan vendors and plenty of festive fall décor that makes the farm a perfect backdrop for an autumn day trip. The best part? Admission to the festival is free. Whether you are planning a family outing, a day with friends or a fall getaway from Toronto, Quayle’s offers that quintessential Ontario experience of getting outside, enjoying the changing leaves and spending quality time together.
Make a Day of It in Orillia & Lake Country
Quayle’s Fall Festival is also a great reason to explore more of Orillia & Lake Country. Located within easy driving distance of Toronto, the region is an ideal fall destination for a weekend getaway or day trip. Combine your visit to Quayle’s with a scenic drive through Oro-Medonte, a hike among the fall colours, a meal at a local restaurant or a stay at one of the region’s unique accommodations. It is the kind of destination where the journey is part of the experience.
