Cozy Fall Activities Around Guelph
Fall in Guelph is something special. The air turns crisp, the leaves explode in colour, and there’s a little extra magic in everyday routines. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly fun or quiet moments to soak in the season, here are eight cozy fall activities to enjoy around Guelph and beyond.
1. Pick the Perfect Pumpkin
Head out to Strom’s Farm & Bakery or nearby patches to find that perfect pumpkin. From corn mazes to wagon rides, pumpkin patches are the ultimate fall day out.
2. Wander Through the Farmers’ Market
The Guelph Farmers’ Market is brimming with autumn’s best: apples, squash, pies, and preserves. It’s a foodie’s dream and a great way to support local growers.
3. Sip & Stay a While at a Café
Fall and lattes go hand in hand. Curl up at Found Coffee, Balzac’s, or Red Brick Café and try a seasonal drink — from pumpkin spice to chai — while enjoying the cozy atmosphere.
4. Hike Among the Fall Colours
Guelph’s trails shine this time of year. Explore Preservation Park, the Arboretum, or Royal Recreation Trail to enjoy a canopy of brilliant fall leaves.
5. Take a Scenic Drive
If you’re up for a mini road trip, cruise through Wellington County backroads or head toward Elora and Fergus for breathtaking fall scenery. Pack a thermos of cider and make it a day.
6. Visit a Local Winery or Brewery
Savour the season with a glass of something local. Wineries and craft breweries around Guelph often release small-batch fall flavours that pair perfectly with cozy evenings.
7. Get Lost in a Corn Maze
Challenge yourself to one of the region’s corn mazes (like Strom’s). It’s a fun, interactive way to spend a crisp afternoon — and kids love it too.
8. Have a Cozy Night In
Don’t underestimate the simple joy of fall at home. Light a candle, bake something sweet, and curl up under a blanket. Sometimes the coziest activity is staying put.

Every once in a while, someone goes above and beyond. For me, there have been moments—across different industries and stages of life—where people didn’t just meet expectations, they exceeded them. Those experiences stay with you. They guide you. Honestly, they become a benchmark for how you try to show up every single day. It doesn’t always happen in real estate or sales, but it absolutely influences how I approach my work. In some of those standout moments, I’ve even joked with the person delivering the experience, asking if they were looking for a career change. That’s how impactful it was. After 21 years in sales, I’ve learned something simple but powerful: "We can can always do more. The real question is whether we choose to."
