A Sweet Escape to Maple Syrup Destinations in Simcoe County
Spring is in the air and we all know that all of that extra sunshine means one thing: the sap is flowing! There’s nothing quite like the sweet aroma of boiling sap and the taste of fresh maple syrup straight from the source. Simcoe County is an important destination for maple syrup lovers, offering a variety of sugar shacks, farm experiences, and seasonal festivals that celebrate Canada’s beloved liquid gold.
Many farms host special events and maple-themed activities, from tree-tapping, to guided tours to taffy-on-snow tastings. Don’t forget to check each destination before you head out to so you know what unique experience they offer and if tickets need to be purchased in advance.
