Winnipeg is one of Canada’ s great restaurant cities, offering multicultural tastes from a diverse population. Our province is rich with forests, lakes, prairie and marshes, making a wide variety of Indigenous ingredients available too.
In this Special Travel Issue of Ciao! we have identified informative and fun culinary adventures that highlight Manitoba’ s diverse food and beverage scene and its connection to the land. The experiences offer a chance to spend a unique day in the country. Whether its a walk through an apple orchard, taking high tea surrounded by lush gardens or milking a goat, these farm tours deliver fun.
The vacation ideas don’ t stop there. This issue includes a summer calendar of events, the hottest openings in ciao! news, and a best list of restaurants curated by ciao! editors to direct you to the best eats inWinnipeg.
Of course, this magazine is a champion of Winnipeg’ s great eats, too. For city adventures, or before heading to a park or beach, check out the places spotlighted inthekitchen. Two of the city’ s best sandwich makers share their secrets to layering a great handheld with big flavours that make a lasting impression.
For those reading this issue in Grand Forks, Fargo, or Brandon we hope this publication will be considered an open invitation to discover Winnipeg’ s exciting events and attractions during the glorious summer months.. This prairie oasis will draw you back in time, and reward you with surprises.
