Best of Lake Erie — Picnic at Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery
Relax and recharge with a unique vintage picnic experience amid the beautiful lavender fields of Waterford, Ontario.

A vintage picnic is one of the best ways to stop and smell the lavender at the inviting Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery in Waterford, Ontario. Channel a Victorian-era outing as you lounge on cozy blankets around a rustic low table decorated with a candelabra and delicate antique plateware. The experience costs $75 per person and includes your choice of lavender wine or lemonade, plus local cheese, meats and crackers topped with estate-made lavender honey and jelly. Don’t forget to save room for the lavender ice cream sold in the gift shop. While the lavender is in full bloom from mid-June through July, visitors can enjoy the grounds and a picnic outside of those months.
