At 13th Street Winery, there's Canadian art, sculpture, food, a wonderful bakery and a property that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Another great example of how many different ways there are to experience Niagara.

This one is a little further out than most of the experiences we’re sharing—but it was too exciting to keep quiet. 🤍 Spirit of Niagara will be the official host of Dîner en Blanc Niagara in 2028. One thing I won’t be sharing? The location. You’ll have to wait for that. 🤍

A different environment changes the energy. It changes conversation. It gives people permission to step outside their everyday roles. I think we sometimes underestimate Niagara because, for many of us, it's so close. That's precisely what makes it such an extraordinary canvas.

I have a special love for this side of Niagara. The family-run restaurants that have been there for decades. The places locals return to again and again. The places where you can walk in, order a great breakfast and just feel at home. Silks Country Kitchen is one of those places.

What started with the idea for Glow in the Cellar is evolving into completely different ways to experience Niagara. I’m pleased to welcome Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery as the home of our Glow in the Cellar Comedy Edition. We have lots more to share about what we’re creating.

We’ve produced a lot of corporate team-building experiences over the years, and the ones people remember are rarely the ones that feel like team building. Sometimes changing the environment is all it takes to change the way people connect.

Sicilian roots. Niagara ingredients. Cooking over fire. Meet Revé—a deeply personal Niagara-on-the-Lake dining experience, newly named a 2026 Air Canada Best New Restaurants finalist. One more reason to taste Niagara differently.

Another piece of the Spirit of Niagara story is coming together. Peller Estates Winery will be the home of Glow in the Cellar Music Edition. Finding the right setting matters enormously to me. The venue shouldn't simply hold an experience—it should become part of it.

It doesn't have to mean a ballroom, a predictable dinner and the same format year after year. Niagara gives us an extraordinary canvas to create something people genuinely look forward to—and talk about afterwards.

This is exactly what excites me about Niagara. There is extraordinary talent here—and the latest MICHELIN Guide recognition is another reminder that Niagara has become so much more than a place to visit. It’s a destination to experience.

One thing I love about creating an experience is imagining how it can continue to evolve. In 2027, Spirit of Niagara is taking Glow in the Cellar in a new direction with new special editions—the first is one I’m particularly excited about. Glow in the Cellar | Music Edition. 🎶

I've always believed that some of the most valuable business lessons can come from people outside of business. A Niagara grower sees long-term thinking, resilience, stewardship and uncertainty through a very different lens.

One of the things I love about Spirit of Niagara is continually discovering places that offer a different way to experience the region. NEOB Flower & Lavender Farm is a beautiful example— another reminder of just how much there is to discover beyond the places we already know.

This one has been very hard to keep quiet. 🤍 I recently travelled to Montreal for what might have looked like a beautiful evening out—but there was a little more to the trip than that. A very exciting new chapter for Spirit of Niagara is coming.

Some of the best corporate experiences aren’t about adding more programming. They’re about designing the day differently. Niagara gives us an incredible opportunity to rethink how wellness can become a natural part of leadership retreats, meetings and corporate gatherings.

Niagara keeps giving us new ways to experience the region. The newly opened Brook Brew Co. combines local roots, craft brewing, hospitality and a beautiful Lake Ontario setting—and adds something a little different to Niagara’s growing hospitality landscape.

One year ago, we launched Spirit of Niagara with a vision to bring the experience and creativity of Hala Events to Niagara in a new way. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created in year one—and even more excited about what’s ahead.

A corporate dinner shouldn't simply be where your team eats. It can be one of the most memorable parts of the experience. This is exactly how we think at Spirit of Niagara—bringing together people, place, hospitality and storytelling to create something special for our guests.

Niagara continues to demonstrate just how diverse a destination it can be for extraordinary experiences. This September, Niagara 5000 brings automotive and aviation excellence, entertainment and philanthropy together for a spectacular two-day event.

This is the kind of corporate programming we love to create at Spirit of Niagara — experiences with purpose. Not simply filling an itinerary, but introducing teams to extraordinary people who can spark meaningful conversations, challenge thinking and inspire new perspectives.
