Last week I got to treat a wonderful group to a very special honey from . Their newly bottled Blueberry Blossom honey!

Now it might not seem like a big deal to some, but let me assure you this has been five months in the making.

And I’ve been waiting eagerly for the day to be able to share it with my guests!

The marvellous bees that made this honey journeyed to the east coast of Canada and back. They travelled by night in refrigerated transports so they could work their pollinator magic across acres of blueberry fields.

We had a wonderful time with Sarah as she walked the group through mead and honey tastings, and gave us a private tour of her farm.

And that was just the first of four stops on this custom corporate tour.

So get your group together you never know what extra fun your tour will hold!

Hello Sunshine!☀️ Enjoy the sunny days of August amidst 400,000 sunflowers! 🌻🌻🌻

Our Rural Makers tour visits - a sustainable lavender producer and sunflower farm.

You’ll enjoy a stroll through the sunflowers and while the lavender fields may be closed for the season, the all encompassing fragrance of the harvest leads you right into the lavender lounge and boutique!

The tour also includes a two-course lunch at a historic inn and tasting at a rural winery or apiary.

Catch the sunflowers while they’re in peak bloom now until the end of August!

In case you haven't heard, Rural Route Tour Company has one of the best farm-to-fork, field-to-glass, hive-to-honey tours in Ontario.

Now that might be because we are the only tour operator that offers hands-on rural experiences where you can get up close and personal with flower farmers, mead makers, and honey producers, as well as enjoy local gourmet dining all in one fabulous day!
