A low sun slants across rolling limestone ridges as the van eases onto Loyalist Road, and the first breath of Lake Ontario sharpens the air. Over the next eleven hours you move between orchard-lined lanes, lavender rows that hum with late-summer insects, and broad sand swept by wind — each stop paced so you can step out, taste, and listen.
