Itinerary

STOP 1

Start your day in a town by the river. Grab a coffee and explore a few shops set in a historic mill from the 1800s. Drive time to the second stop is 13 minutes.

STOP 2

It’s time to stretch your legs! Here, we recommend two trails of varying lengths. One even lets you feed chickadees out of your hand. Drive time to the third stop is 5 minutes.

STOP 3

Up next? A farm distillery, brewery & restaurant all in one. If you're not in the mood, we recommend a funky country market instead. Drive time to the fourth stop is 15 minutes.

STOP 4

Choose between a couple of breweries, a riverside stroll with a connection to Hollywood, a gorgeous historic spot, or a farm for local goodies and furry friends.

Perfect day trip!

This trip was so much fun! It was my first Guess Where Trip so I didn't know what to expect but it was very enjoyable, even for my boyfriend, who had been a bit of a skeptic (particularly about the joy of small coffee shops). He even tried (and loved) the recommended drink at the first stop.

We fit the trip into one day and had a wonderful time, but we spent the whole day strategizing how we would turn the same stops on the trip into a weekend adventure with a hotel the next time we do it. And we WILL be doing the exact same thing again, perhaps in the summertime to switch it up.

A couple of tips before embarking on this trip:
1) Bring an appetite. Because of the nature of the mystery envelopes, we weren't sure whether it was best to eat at Stop 2 or Stop 3 and the envelopes just tell you where is food, it never says "you should eat lunch now". So choose wisely
2) Similarly, make sure you read all of the fine print and smaller text in the envelopes too. We ended up finding our FAVOURITE restaurant in the smaller text that provided an "alternate" in the envelope for Stop 3 (I believe it was 3...)
3) The option we chose for the final stop did end up being possibly reservation only (which the booklet did warn about) when we were there on Dec 14, so if you choose one that says that, I do recommend calling ahead to check when you decide on that stop.

Looking forward to my next trip! Thank you!

This was the perfect road trip for my husband and I. We really enjoyed the mix of activities - both indoor and outdoor. We made for such a peaceful and relaxing today together.

Riverside Roaming - Such fun!

We had a fantastic day on the Riverside Roaming trip! Such a great start in a beautiful, quaint town that we have never visited - we will definitely be back. The recommended activities were excellent and we loved not knowing our next stop until we were finished each one. It was great to have some recommendations of accommodations since we live a little outside the offered areas. We highly recommend taking part in these curated day trips - we have purchased a few more and can't wait to see where they will take us!

Excellent

We traveled with another couple and we were all so impressed with the new finds in our "own back yard". We will definitely be returning to some of the excellent restaurant and markets on our own and introducing these places to others!
