Community Calendar
Our Community Calendar covers Grey & Bruce Counties. It’s a large area, so if we missed an event we are sorry, we will do better next time!
Our Community Calendar was getting a bit too enthusiastic. Turns out stuffing a week’s worth of local fun into one email makes for a very long scroll.
So we’ve given it its own space! Click the button below to check out the full lineup of events this week.
Foodie Flash
Casero Kitchen Table — Owen Sound
It started on a 1949 double-decker bus in Sauble Beach. Now, more than a decade later, the team behind the iconic Casero Taco Bus has a year-round home right in the heart of Owen Sound.
Chef Emily Leonard built Casero on a simple idea: Mexican-inspired food, made entirely from scratch, using local ingredients wherever possible. They've been a FeastOn-certified restaurant since 2016 — one of only a handful in Grey-Bruce.
The menu is packed with standouts: smoked brisket and pork tacos, house nachos, an unexpectedly great Brussels sprouts appetizer, and churros to finish. They also run an in-house brisket program, fully smoked Ontario beef, available to take home from local spots like Moore's Meats in Chatsworth.
Open Mon–Thu 11:30–8:00 and Fri–Sat 11:30–9:00. You can walk in or grab a reservation on Resy. Find them at 946 3rd Ave E, Owen Sound.
Hidden Gem of the week
Coffin Ridge Boutique Winery — Annan
Grey County's first winery sits on a hillside in Annan, overlooking the crystal-blue water of Georgian Bay And yes, it's exactly as good as that sounds.
Coffin Ridge is a small-batch boutique operation, every grape is hand-planted and hand-picked right here in Grey County. Their signature wines go by names like Back From The Dead Red, Into The Light White, and Resurrection Rosé. The vibe matches.
Right now they're running a winter snowshoe experience. Strap on a pair (or borrow theirs), head out through the vineyard, then warm up inside with a tasting and a vintner's plate of local breads and cheeses paired to your glass.
Open Thursday to Sunday, 11am–5pm. Reservations recommended. Find them at 599448 2nd Concession North, Annan.
