If you've ever visited Grey County during the fall, you know we've got something special here. From blazing colours atop the Niagara Escarpment to warm sunny days topped with crisp fall nights, from bustling farmer's markets to orchards and vineyards tucked away in the Beaver Valley, vibrant galleries in southern Grey and fall harvest menus in the Blue Mountains, fall in Grey County provides a truly epic experience.
This fall, we've been sharing those fall touring opportunities with folks far and wide via a giant Facebook campaign. Since August 25, we've mailed out 3,100 packages with maps, brochures and information to tourists anxious to experience autumn in Grey County . At the heart of our campaign is the Ultimate Fall Colour Adventure Contest which will see one lucky winner receive a fabulous fall tour of Grey County, valued at over $3000. Here are just some of the amazing prizes to be won
