在星期六的早晨，我們一群勇敢的勇敢的旅行者跳上公共汽車去尋找 節制 和 誘惑 在裡面 安大略源頭 距多倫多以北僅一小時路程。
節制被定義為酒精飲料的節製或戒酒。
誘惑的定義是希望做某事或擁有某些您不應該做或擁有的東西。
來自 安大略省, I did not know the history of the “dry” days of prohibition in the province when “giggle water” was taboo — forcing the production and consumption of alcohol underground. Nor was I aware of 節制運動 或者 節制社會 — but I do now…
通過互動遊戲，我們將尋找一群獨特角色的表演技巧來重溫歷史，以此作為我們的導遊，同時我們還會尋找盜賊和大笑。
在我們的每一站 節制與誘惑之旅 throughout the Headwaters of Ontario; we drink, we eat, and we learn along the way. Add to that a bit of salvation for good measure courtesy of a “Temperance Hall Meeting” and a whole lot of laughter we round out our day with musical interludes courtesy of the Tipsy節制三重奏樂隊.
專業旅行提示： 快節奏，這次旅行有很多酒。

這裡是上游源泉節制和誘惑之旅的幾站
Adamo Estate Winery – Mono, Ontario
阿達莫莊園酒莊 位於從 霍克利谷溫泉度假酒店 and shares the same owners — Nancy and Mario Adamo.
The interior is expansive with high ceilings, artwork, and glass and contrasts the stone exterior. It makes quite the stunning first impression and starts the anticipation for the wine tasting to come. After a short tour of the vineyard (there are 25 acres), an explanation of the winemaking process, and a visit to the barrel room we enter the tasting room for the main event. Tastings of 4 of Adamo Estates Winery’s vintages – a 2017 Bock Pinot Gris, a 2016 Spark’l Chardonnay Musqué, a 2015 Parke Pinot Noir, and a 2015 Edgerock Merlot – and a tasty selection of charcuterie – delicious.
專業旅行提示： if you like any of the wines, ciders or spirits served during the tour ensure that you purchase them on the spot. Many of these products aren’t available for purchase anywhere else in Ontario （然而）.
Museum of Dufferin – Mulmur, Ontario
這 達弗林縣博物館 與多倫多的博物館相比，它的體積很小，但考慮到它所共享的展品和故事，則意義非凡。展出的展覽品是當天的入門作品，因為它們通過人工製品，展示品和娛樂作品詳細介紹了該地區禁酒的歷史。
博物館是我們初次見面完整人物的地方，也是我們走私之旅真正開始的地方。當我們在背景中探索樂隊音樂的博物館時，這也有幫助，我們手頭有一罐精神樹蘋果酒。
Terra Nova Public House / Terra Nova Candy Shop – Mulmur, Ontario
在 特拉諾瓦公共旅館, we stop for lunch. The building is a prime example of what an 1800’s resthouse/watering hole would have resembled back in the time of bootlegging. Here we are treated to a lovely Ploughman’s lunch of assorted cheese, paté, eggs, pickles and toast — it’s a perfect well-timed mid-day break.
Say the secret code phrase “We’re Lookin’ for Ginger” with a wink of an eye, and you’ll be offered a special cocktail menu with an option to imbibe in a “Nice Ginger” or a “Naughty Ginger”.
The “Nice Ginger” is a cocktail of Nickelbrook Ginger Beer – a local authentic Jamaican style beer served over ice, with a dash of orange bitters and lemon juice. Whereas a “Naughty Ginger” contains the addition of 1.5 oz of Beattie Distillery Poitin from Alliston, Ontario – an aged Irish moonshine made from a white spirit distilled from Beattie farm-grown potatoes age for three months in new American Oak barrels.
Don’t forget to stop by the Terra Nova Candy Shop next door for some ice cream or old fashion candies for dessert!
Grand Spirits Distillery – Grand Valley, Ontario
烈酒釀酒廠 is located in an Old School House, built in 1892, in the city of Grand Valley. A fabulous looking building complete with high ceilings covered in tin, original chalkboard walls, and aged wooden floors. We’ve arrived for dinner, but first, we are greeted with a tasting of Grand Spirits Whisky and Grand Spirits Gin brewed in a custom-made (and gorgeous looking) copper still that sits grandly in the middle of the Tasting Room.
Grand Spirits Distillery is Ontario’s first “Tied House” or “public house” making this craft distillery, speakeasy and dining room the perfect setting for the final act of the story. We enjoyed a tasty meal of truffle arugula salad with pomegranate, pan seared chicken breast with herb roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables, and a selection of desserts.
We closed out our evening with music, singing, more laughter and of course a “secret” Bee Knees Cocktail of Gin, lemon, lavender, honey and bitters.
