Wine, Dine and Design...who could ask for more

OK, so for many years now I have been wanting to follow Kimberley Seldon on her fabulous journey on her Design Express tours but could never seem to make it happen. This year the tour is taking their guests right in our own backyard in the beautiful Niagara Region of Ontario. I am so happy to say that this time I am on board for the ride. Kimberley has us staying at the gorgeous Oban Inn and Spa Nestled in the heart of the historic Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, a few minutes walk to all theaters and attractions, the Oban Inn is a historic property officially designated as a significant heritage resource. The Town's first and original country inn overlooks Lake Ontario and the oldest golf course in Canada. This landmark property was built as a private home in 1824 by Captain Duncan Milloy of Oban, Scotland. For the love of friends and food, Captain Milloy opened his home to all his guests. Fine hospitality began at The Oban Inn and guests form all over the world return generation after generation. A devastating fire on Christmas Day 1992 completely destroyed the Inn, leaving only the foundation. Re-created as an exact replica of the former Inn, The Oban Inn again opened its doors in November 1993, proudly welcoming guests back to its grace and understated charm.

In 2006, the Inn underwent a significant transformation while at the same time maintaining the integrity of its long tradition of a warm and welcome hospitality. Today, the Inn features 26 well-appointed guestrooms, the gastronomic restaurant, and a tranquil, personalized, full service OSpa - a unique facility dedicated to the health, well-being and vitality of our guests where the philosophy and décor are in harmony, forming a peaceful mood of Sun, Moon, Earth and Water. Our state-of-the-art exercise room has a view of our lush, mature gardens, outdoor hot spring/spa and infinity lap pool.

If you can swing it come take the Design Express ride with us........Wine, Dine & Design...could you ask for more.
