ABOUT SAVOUR ELGIN Savour Elgin celebrates local food, wine, and agri-tourism in partnership with quality restaurants. Members of Savour Elgin must either grow or produce their own products and in the case of restaurants have 25% of their annual receipts purchased locally (within a 100 km radius).

Eating and drinking are the only activities that all visitors have in common.

Because eating and drinking involve all five human senses, food creates emotions powerful enough to compel someone to travel. Savour Elgin takes advantage of the senses and provides sixteen locations for tourists to discover the bounty Elgin has to offer.

One of the goals of Savour Elgin is to strengthen the food supply chain; the program is able to do just that by connecting producers and chefs, with tasty results. Our restaurants utilize member markets and agri-tourism locations in preparing their signature dishes.

The second goal of Savour Elgin is to build awareness of culinary tourism in Elgin.

The development of the program has opened up many opportunities including becoming a marketing tool for local food in Elgin with print, web and radio campaigns.

Evoking a sense of community pride and having a positive impact on the community is the third goal of Savour Elgin. Members are proud to be a part of this program; look for each of the members proudly displaying their Savour Elgin member signs.

The Vedovas opened the doors to Kettle Creek Inn in 1983 after purchasing and completely renovating the derelict building. Today, Kettle Creek Inn is recognized as one of Ontario’s Finest Inns, and welcomes all visitors into the village of Port Stanley.

Jean and Gary, along with sons Troy and Dean, operate this 10 room, 5 suite facility complete with restaurant.

The Vedovas, along with Chef Rob Lampman, strive to improve—never resting on their laurels.

One way they are able to accomplish this is by sourcing locally. Chef Rob is able to phone the fish market down the street and pick up or have delivered fish that was caught only a few hours prior. Buying local means deliveries 7 days a week to your back door, and that means fresh food for guests.

Since 1995, the Muscat family has been filling homes with their high-quality scented candles, and creating a loyal customer base that keeps coming back for more. Sparta Country Candles contain as much as three times more scent than average, and are sold in many different sizes at unbeatable prices. Doors are open daily so stop by, pick up some candles and try a piece of homemade fudge. It only makes scents!

Medium: candle and candle product manufacturing

Interesting Fact The aptly named Spartaberry candle is a mysterious combination of over 40 fruity essential oils and is by far the most popular scent and unique to Sparta Country Candles. There are 20 different scents that are available year round and 7 seasonally themed scents with limited-time availability.

New fragrances are introduced on an ongoing basis and customers decide which ones stay and which ones go. Scents range from traditional Lavender, Strawberry and French Vanilla to unique and whimsical scents like Mexican Vacation—a Piña Colada inspired scent that takes you to a beach-front resort.
