Some patios are made for sunsets. 🌅
Located right on the harbour, @dalhousieyachtclub offers one of the most scenic dining experiences in St. Catharines.
Watch sailboats drift through the marina, feel the lake breeze roll in, and settle in for dinner as the sun begins to dip below the horizon.
It`s the kind of summer evening you`ll wish could last just a little bit longer.

Here`s your reminder that patio season isn`t a race.
At 13th Street Winery, the best plan is no plan at all.
Enjoy a glass on the patio. Wander through the sculpture gardens. Pop into the gallery. Discover a new favourite wine.
Our recommendation: Don`t leave without visiting the bakery.
Your future self wants the butter tarts. 😉

Patio season and Niagara wine country just belong together. 🍷
Located on the picturesque Short Hills Bench, @henryofpelham offers vineyard views in every direction and the perfect excuse to slow down for the afternoon.
Settle in with a tasting flight, pair it with buttery popcorn, or enjoy a leisurely lunch from Short Hills Kitchen while taking in the scenery.
With a glass of Niagara wine in hand, it`s easy to lose track of time here.
And honestly, that`s kind of the point.
One glass, two glasses… who`s counting? Discover the rest of the patio crawl at lovestc.ca or at the link in our bio.

With sailboats in the harbour and nowhere else you need to be, it`s the perfect way to start a summer day in St. Catharines.
