Visiting one of the natural world's greatest attractions, Niagara Falls, Jamie and Jennifer soon realize there's a lot more to the area. Philip Wylie's family has been growing grapes in the area for over 100 years. This 13 year-old helps out on his family's vineyard and shows Jamie and Jennifer the ins and outs of grape production. They learn that this area is one of Canada's most important fruit growing regions, a result of its situation between the Niagara Escarpment and two Great Lakes. Philip takes the hosts to Fernland Vineyards, where they sample some fizzy grape juice and learn how it's made.
