Accommodation & Food

Grey County boasts an outstanding tourism industry, ranked second in Ontario for annual visitation with over 3 million visitors.

Travelers are eager to visit our renowned four-season destination and wide ranging attractions, from Blue Mountain Resort and Cobble Beach to the Bruce Trail, Niagara Escarpment, breathtaking waterfalls and Georgian Bay.

With the recent surge in tourism demand, opportunities for re-investment in the accommodation sector are growing. A new 100-room hotel and conference center is planned in Owen Sound in 2019 with further opportunities in Hanover, Meaford and Grey Highlands.

    Maclean's Ales

    I like brewing and woodworking because they are both creative but there’s a big difference between them. Beer lasts for a finite period of time but a well-built piece of furniture can last a lifetime.
