North America's top 10 wine destinations

I love touring Ontario's Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region. My friend Lauren lives in St. Catharines and we regularly tour the wineries in the area, stopping to sample whites, reds and ice wines from our favourite vineyards, including Peller Estates, Konzelmann and Hillebrand.

Travellers are particularly interested in wineries this fall, with searches for the term "vineyards" up 10 per cent on TripAdvisor over the past six weeks, compared to the same period last year.

"European destinations often get the spotlight when it comes to fine wine," said Christine Petersen, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor, "but North America holds its own with varietals, between the wonderful west coast wine regions and other hidden gems across the continent."
