Celebrate spring at its most colourful with a visit to the Oshawa Peony Festival, held in the picturesque Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens. Thousands of peonies bloom in soft pastels and vibrant hues, creating a stunning display across expansive garden beds. Meander along winding paths lined with peach, cream, blush, and classic pink blossoms—perfect for photography or simply enjoying the scenery.

You’ll have plenty of free time to explore at your own pace. Wander through themed garden areas, relax by the creek, or take a break on one of the many benches throughout the grounds. The festival atmosphere adds to the experience, with artisan vendor tents featuring handcrafted goods and floral-inspired items, along with food trucks offering a variety of casual lunch options and treats.

Next, prepare your palate for an exquisite experience at Ocala Winery. Nestled in the heart of a picturesque vineyard you'll enjoy a wine tasting of four distinct wines, offering a delightful journey through their impressive portfolio. Beyond the tasting, you'll discover the charming, rustic ambiance of their century-old winery while soaking in the serene views of the surrounding valley and orchards.

To round off our day, we'll head to the charming White Feather Country Store. This beloved local gem, established in 1988, is Durham's largest country store and promises a delightful shopping experience. You'll discover an extensive gourmet deli and gift section brimming with unique finds, including home decor, fragrant candles, and locally handmade wood products. Don't forget to indulge your senses with their fresh-baked goods – their assorted breads, rolls, pies, cookies, and muffins are baked daily. This is the perfect opportunity to find a special souvenir or a tasty treat to bring a piece of your Durham Region adventure home.
