Sips & Slices: Taste the Best of Windsor Essex (One Slice & Sip at a Time!)

Get ready foodies and brew-lovers — the event you’ve been waiting for is just around the corner and the PERFECT way to celebration National Pizza Month: On October 25th & 26th, explore the Barrels Bottles & Brews Trail with Sips & Slices, and it’s going to be a delicious mix of craft brews, gourmet slices, and unforgettable vibes that you won’t want to miss.

What Is It?

Imagine hopping between some of Windsor Essex’s top breweries, cideries, and distilleries — each stop serving you a killer pizza-inspired bite paired with a drink that elevates every flavour. Think: classic pepperoni, cheesy slices, sauce-forward bites, maybe even a creative za-inspired burger or sandwich — all matched with craft brews, cocktails, or cider.

Each pairing is perfectly portioned so you can keep discovering without getting too full (until you want to, of course).
