Once everyone is on board, we will begin our two-day getaway! There will be a comfort stop along the way.
We will arrive at The Baden Hotel for our included lunch around noon. Often known as EJ's, the hotel was opened to the public on July 22nd 1874. Although the rooms are no longer for rent, the building remains a gathering place for locals and regulars in Wilmot Township to meet and enjoy each others company in a rustic, country setting.
After our delicious meal, we will board our motorcoach and drive across the street to Castle Kilbridge. Step back into the lavish Victorian Era as you explore this beautifully restored castle. The castle was built in 1877, for James Livingston, flax industrialist, politician and entrepreneur. The beautiful exterior, however, is overshadowed by its outstanding interior décor. This year, Castle Kilbride is excited to present its brand new exhibit, "Handcrafted Histories" featuring the Livingston family, local artists, and their creations.
At 3:00pm, we will make our way to St. Jacob's Village for some shopping and to explore this quaint town. St. Jacobs Village is a unique blend of past and present, with local shops ranging from antique stores to modern boutiques and cafes.
Just before 5:00pm, we will board our motorcoach and drive to our hotel where will check in and enjoy our included buffet dinner on site. Our hotel has a pool so if you feel like taking a refreshing dip don't forget to pack your bathing suit!
The rest of your evening is yours to relax.

If you would like to head to the Market before the rest of the group checks out of the hotel, you are more than welcome to!
After purchasing some goodies to take home, we will board our motorcoach at 10:45am and make our way to the Parlour Inn in Stratford for our included plated lunch. This historic property was built in 1871 and is in the heart of downtown Stratford. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has many 19th century features including stained glass windows, impressive woodwork, and tin ceilings.
After our delicious meal, we will drive to The Festival Theatre to experience the timeless charm of Sense and Sensibility at the Stratford Festival 2025, where Jane Austen's beloved tale of love, heartbreak, and resilience comes to life on stage. Follow the Dashwood sisters-practical Elinor and passionate Marianne-as they navigate society, romance, and the struggle between reason and emotion in their search for happiness. With elegant period costumes, witty dialogue, and a beautifully staged production, this adaptation promises to be a captivating journey into the world of Austen's most enduring heroines.
Once the show is over, we will make our way to The Old Country Restaurant in New Hamburg for our included dinner at 6:30pm. After enjoying our dinner, we will continue east as we head home.
We expect to arrive back in Kingston at 10:15 PM after dropping off other passengers along the way.
