Though brief, the harvest season is filled with distinctive smells and sounds, like turkeys roasting and the man in the moon doing covers of Neil Young songs. Experience all of autumn's bounty with today's deals from Johnston's Cranberry Marsh and Muskoka Lakes Winery:

Get to know Ontario's oldest cranberry farm and Muskoka's only winery with this harvest experience. Guests hop aboard a wagon for a guided tour, swinging by the bog to see the cranberry harvest in action with a stop to talk berries with the farmer. Tours are followed by a tutored tasting of the winery's award-winning bottles. The optional Pickers' Lunch lets you feed on a platter of local bounty while enjoying your surroundings - lunches include cheese, crackers, preserves and meaty nibbles like turkey, sausage or peameal bacon (meats are by availability), plus a full glass of wine for each eater.

Johnston's Cranberry Marsh offers outdoor activities and group tours all year long. The trails at the farm provide adventure for kids and adults alike, with scavenger hunt clues and geocaches scattered along the way. For post-activity refreshment, Muskoka Lakes Winery creates a range of award-winning concoctions using fruit native to Muskoka. Visit both venues for fresh air and exercise and leave with a souvenir or some Muskoka-grown cranberries, homemade preserves, juice or wine.
