Bacon and ale are a combination made in heaven, which is also a pretty good way to describe our picturesque town.
Enjoy Stratford’s Bacon & Ale Trail in every season. This self-guided tour introduces you to our pork and brewing history.
With each trail purchase, you get to choose which five stops, out of the participating businesses, to redeem your five vouchers for a bacon or ale delight on your self-guided tour (click here for trail participants, map, trail offerings and hours). The cost for 5 vouchers is $39.55 (including HST) – note that you may use one voucher per stop. The Bacon & Ale Trail is available year-round. For the best trail experience, check the individual business hours on the trail participants link above before you plan your trail visit.
Bacon & Ale Trails are available for purchase the same day you are completing the trail in downtown Stratford at Destination Stratford, 47 Downie Street (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, Sat 9am-12pm & 1pm-5pm, Closed Sundays, Closed October 14); Bradshaws, 129 Ontario Street (Mon-Sat 10am-6pm, Sun 11am-5pm, Closed October 13 & 14); Small-Mart, 119 Ontario Street (Sun & Tue 11am-5pm, Wed-Sat 10am-6pm, Closed Mondays, Closed October 13); and Werk Shop, 111 Ontario Street (Sun & Tues 11am-5pm, Wed-Sat 10am-6pm, Closed Mondays, Closed October 13 ). Vouchers do not expire and can be used over multiple days.
Every stop is unique and features a different bacon and/or ale item to enjoy. With many locations to choose from, you may need to plan your route in advance (or buy another pass which includes 5 more vouchers). And, you also get to meet the makers who craft these indulgences.
