Rideau Canal

"One of our favourite stretches of romantic places in Ontario is along the Rideau Canal," blogger couple Dave and Deb from ThePlanetD.com share. "The 202 -kilometre-long waterway spans from Ottawa to Kingston. There are many places between the two cities where couples can book a luxury hotel or a quiet and cozy B&B for a weekend getaway."
"You could stay at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier on the Rideau in Ottawa, but we suggest renting a luxury houseboat from Le Boat in Smiths Falls and navigating your way through this UNESCO Heritage Site. You can cruise the entire canal by boat enjoying all its little nooks and crannies."
"There's the Scheuermann Vineyard & Winery where you can wine and dine at sunset in Westport, or you can stop for a stroll at the picturesque village of Merrickville which was voted the most beautiful small town in Canada. But our favourite moment is to simply relax on the deck of our yacht while enjoying some local cheese with a cocktail and watching the sun go down. Nothing says romance more to us than spending time in rural Ontario listening to the sounds of nature and taking in the gorgeous scenery with the one you love."

For travel couple Yulia and Jason from @beat_up_suitcases, Whispering Springs is the place to go for a romantic getaway.
"Comfort and design of a luxury hotel room, but surrounded by nature and with the romance of roasting marshmallows by the fire? Queue glamping. With a safari tent larger than some Toronto condos, a king size bed, ensuite bathroom (with a tub!), and most supplies provided, you can focus on what's really important — each other."

Cherry and Johnny from @budouteam love exploring the province together, and here's what they had to say when asked about their favourite romantic destination in Ontario.
"It would definitely be Tobermory," the couple tells Narcity. "Those turquoise waters are just so beautiful and refreshing to see in the summer. There are so many trails and areas to explore. Hiking the Grotto should not be missed by the adventurous couples!"
"The small town is also charming to walk around and to check out different dining places, fish& chips etc., perfect for a couple's getaway! We stayed at a yurt in the area last summer operated by Parks Canada, it was quite a fun experience!"

Local couple Nicole Figueiredo and Nikhil Savio Gutal share their adventures and photography skills on their Instagram page @thenicologue. Here's where you can find them spending time together.
"Our favourite romantic getaway in Ontario is visiting lavender farms! We’ve been to a few each year while staying in different towns across Ontario," they say.
"Flower farms like these take us back in time to movies we watched while growing up — lovers met in the field and stole kisses and spoke sweet nothings. It’s our way of recreating those moments. The lavender farms also make for a pretty photography spot and give you a sense of calm being around lavender flowers and your significant other."

"Whether you're strolling the cobblestone paths beside the Grand River, hiking the Linear Trail, or indulging at the local Four Fathers Brewing Co., Cambridge is the perfect day trip for couples."
