Niagara: Romance sizzles amid quaint inns, cozay wineries and a glittering falls

NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ontario -- Near the park, the Shaw Festival Theatre is locked tighter than a Victorian corset. At the harbor, the petulant Niagara River is partly frozen, a white and blue montage of floating squares.

Winter here is starkly beautiful: a picture in sharp focus, a summer town gone quiet.

Good news for lovers: No one will ever look for you here.

Spend a weekend tucked away in some canopied four-poster bed in this little hamlet just four hours from Detroit, and you will return to regular life a happier couple.

A day trip to nearby Niagara Falls is hopelessly romantic, with the still-unfrozen falls wreathed in a coating of sparkling winter ice. You can even take a winter helicopter ride -- and did you know from the air, the Niagara whirlpool is in the shape of a heart?

Oh, and dozens of Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries are open year-round, which means their tasting rooms are ready to help you burn off the winter chill. And -- well, we'll get to all that. Just start packing.
