Coronation Hall Cider Mills + Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello

Coronation Hall Cider Mill

The second half of our third day in the Outaouais region of Canada began with something sweet! Following lunch at Café 349, our group drove to Coronation Hall Cider Mills to sample some sweet treats and lean about the artisanal ciderie. When we pulled up to the cider mill, I couldn’t help but think the…

Sunrise

Our third day in the Outaouais region of Canada began bright and early. Anne and I made plans to sneak in a quick run before breakfast and headed out a little after 6 a.m. We completed four miles just as the sun started to peek over the horizon. It was the perfect way to start…

Quebec in the Fall

Our second day in the Outaouais Region of Quebec included more outdoor activities that allowed our group to feel fully immersed in autumn fun. The weather was chilly enough to warrant layers during our trip, but it wasn’t bitter cold and the sun was always out which added some welcomed warmth. It was perfect fall…

Cave in Quebec

The second half of our first day in Canada was much more relaxed than the first half. After the tree top obstacle course challenge and zip lining, our group changed into helmets for a cave adventure. I struggle with claustrophobia, so I wasn’t sure whether or not I’d be able to handle the cave and…

Instagram post 2193655309847019162_40044681 Busted out of the house last night for a Las Vegas themed holiday party! 🎉 Name that movie! 🐯👶🏻 #tigerslovepepper #babycarlos
Instagram post 2191873802065169562_40044681 Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine: The simple, low-maintenance, crowd-pleasing holiday beverage you've been looking for to make for your next holiday party! 🍷✨ This is my go-to recipe because it's warm and comforting and just sweet and cinnamon-y enough to feel like a festive holiday drink. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are the steps:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Throw everything into a slow cooker⁠⠀
Allow mulled wine to warm up on “low” for an hour⁠⠀
Reduce to “warm” and top with a sprinkle of thinly-sliced oranges and cranberries⁠⠀
Walk away and enjoy your party⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And the ingredient list is simple, too! Find the full recipe on the blog here: https://www.pbfingers.com/slow-cooker-holiday-mulled-wine/⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Oh and please do not feel the need to splurge on an expensive red wine for this recipe! I once had a sommelier friend of mine tell me that when it comes to making mulled wine, simply choose a red wine you like to drink. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy but it simply has to appeal to you without all of the added ingredients that morph it into a deliciously sweet holiday favorite. For this batch, I made the Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine with a $6.99 bottle of Wellsley Farms’ Cabernet Sauvignon from @bjswholesale. Once you pour it into the slow cooker and fancy it up with thinly-sliced oranges 🍊 and pops of cranberry, no one will know you used a bottle of wine that cost less than $7 in the recipe anyway! Enjoy!!! #ad #mulledwine #holidaydrinks #holidayrecipes #slowcooker
