GET SOCIAL! Note from the Editors

The best part about living in Niagara is the produce, and there’s no one who appreciates that more than our chefs. Check out their produce-themed recipes on pages 16 to 18. We’ve also suggested some wine pairings for each recipe on pages 6 to 9. We hope you make a stop at some local roadside farm stands to pick up some produce and recreate these recipes at home!

We have to give a very special bon voyage shout out to Riverbend Inn Chef, Ross Midgley. Ross is moving back to P.E.I in July after spending 25 years in Niagara. He will be taking on the incredible role as Director of Programs for the Culinary Institute of Canada. We wish Ross all the best in his new adventure! Our long-time executive chef at Peller Estates, Jason Parsons, will be overseeing the culinary programs at both The Winery Restaurant at Peller Estates and Oaklands Restaurant. A key member of our culinary team since reopening in 2021, Chef Andrew MacNeil has been promoted to head chef at Oaklands. Congratulations to Andrew! We can’t wait to experience your delicious dishes.

Cheers, Riley McGilvray & Madison Vine
