Travel Swellness: 12 days of Wine Country Ontario Giveaway
December 9, 2014
THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
Congrats to Sharon W., the winner of the Wine Country Ontario giveaway!
Oh, it’s that most wonderful time of the year! The holidays always make me want to be home, sticking to local favourites and seeing loved ones. And rather than jetting off somewhere far (although I do love that, too!) it’s fun to celebrate the treasures that are nearby, too. Such as taking advantage of all the Wine Country Ontario has to offer. They’ve actually got tons of great ideas for gifts (I’m all about experiential gifts! Head on over to WineCountryOntario.ca where from Dec. 1 to 12, they’re highlighting some amazing ideas that’ll help you get your shopping done fo the holidays in snap. Including one idea I chose!
They asked me what I’d wish for when it comes to exploring Wine Country as part of their 12 days of Wine Country Ontario and I had trouble narrowing it down to just one thing, but I’ve always wanted to check out Pillar and Post in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This five-star inn in the country is a former canning factory that’s won numerous awards for its dining and top-notch spa, and hello, wouldn’t their hot springs pool be just dreamy to sink into during a winter weekend getaway?
Well, lucky Health and Swellness readers: one of you could win a $150 giftcard to use as you wish at Pillar and Post. You could use it toward a delicious meal, towards accomodations at the inn, for a spa treatment, however you’d like! Yes, Merry Christmas to you!
How to enter? You can enter in five different ways (each way counts as one entry, so go ahead and enter in all five methods!):
1. Email me at healthandswellness@gmail.com with your name and mailing address. Please put “Wine Country Ontario” in the subject line.
2. Twitter: Follow me on Twitter (@healthswellness) and tweet:

The giftcard is valued at $150 and the giveaway will close at 11:59PM on Tuesday, December 16, 2014. Please note that this giveaway is open to Canadian residents only. The winner will be chosen at random. If I cannot reach the winner within five days, another winner will be selected. The winner’s name will be announced on the blog once confirmed.

If this is not what many would call a blogging blueprint, then I don’t know what it is. You’ve covered everything. I must admit that I am still new to blogging and it seems that there is a lot that I just need to do along the way. Thanks a lot for the time that you have taken to come up with such a great piece. I had to go with the .pdf for references.
Thanks a lot.
