#TRAVEL: ELORA CHRISTMAS MARKET

Who would’ve known all this beauty was just 90 minutes outside the City? Elora is a true treasure and they have the most charming, festive Christmas Market showcasing local vendors and their artisinal delights – whether it be houseware, ornaments, clothing, food, drink and more!

We had the pleasure of dining at Elora’s finest, the Elora Mill which in a previous life, was a gristmill built in 1832, producing wood, cereal and flour primarily. Today is is a four-star hotel with a scenic view, spa and world-class dining. We are still in awe at the view we took-in. I would definitely come back again just to relax.

At the center of the Christmas Market is a picturesque Greenspace, perfect for photo ops with your loved ones. Needless to say, you really have to visit after sunset for maximum effect.

Such a joy doing a bit of shopping around town. Some of our favourite vendors include TERREBLEU which sells all things lavender. Getting the Instagram generation, there are even aesthetic photos ops inside. DAR’S COUNTY MARKET sells all things local including cured meats, cheeses, jams, snacks and baked goods among others. We couldn’t stop filling our basket. And SEASONS HOME & GIFT was an explosion of Christmas, filled with beautiful handcrafted houseware, gift ideas, confections and condiments. A good excuse to go warm up. These are just a few.

Elora was definitely lit during my visit. The Christmas Market crammed with visitors looking to experience that holiday magic before it is too late.

The Christmas Market runs only till December 29th. More here.
