Insider tip
Book dinners at Hinterland and By Chadsey's Inlet—these farm-to-table restaurants' pairings with emerging local Pinot Noir showcase the limestone-driven minerality that serious collectors are now tracking as Canada's next Burgundy-quality source. The county's relative obscurity means less crowding at smaller producers like Sandbanks and Rosehall Run.
