Norfolk County in Ontario is a well kept Canadian secret that deserves to be shared with more people in Canada and abroad.

It’s not a large Ontario county by any means, but I personally feel that it offers a slice of the province which anyone can appreciate.

You’ve got lovely towns like Port Dover and Simcoe for people who like to be based in a hub, and you’ve got off the beaten path hiking trails for those who love to be a fair distance from a name on a map.

There is no shortage of events going on throughout the year, but I think Norfolk County Tourism would agree with me when I say there’s never really a bad time to come to Norfolk County. I was surprised by the burgeoning wine scene, the charm of the towns and villages, and the untouched beauty of the scenery and landscape.

As with other posts I’ve put together on Ontario, I want this article to serve as an itinerary of sorts to guide you in your own journey through Norfolk County, Canada. I’ll be highlighting where to eat and drink, where to stay and what to do to ensure that you get the most out of your visit to this heavily underrated Ontario county.
