Celebrate Muskoka's Cranberry Harvest at JW Marriott The Rosseau
October brings the crisp air and vivid colours of autumn to Muskoka, along with the region's renowned cranberry harvest. This year, JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka Resort & Spa invites guests to immerse themselves in the seasonal flavors of the muskoka cranberry with a dedicated lineup of desserts, drinks, teas, and spa experiences available daily throughout the month from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Indulge in Seasonal Cranberry Desserts
Guests can enjoy a range of cranberry desserts that highlight the best of fall produce. The Muskoka Cranberry Apple Crumble combines Ontario apples and tart cranberries beneath a buttery oat crumble, served warm with vanilla bean ice cream and a cranberry caramel drizzle. For those who prefer a classic treat, the White Chocolate Cranberry Cheesecake offers a rich New York-style slice with white chocolate and a vibrant cranberry-orange compote. Another comforting option, Cranberry Bread Pudding with Maple Anglaise, brings together brioche bread, cranberries, and silky maple anglaise. Each of these seasonal desserts is priced at $15.
Sip Cranberry-Inspired Cocktails and Mocktails
The harvest celebration continues with cranberry cocktails and creative mocktails. The Cranberry Harvest Martini ($18) blends vodka, cranberry, Cointreau, and lime, finished with sugared cranberries and a citrus twist. For an Ontario-inspired option, the Cranberry Maple Old Fashioned ($19) features bourbon, cranberry reduction, maple syrup, and orange bitters, garnished with an orange peel and rosemary.
Guests preferring non-alcoholic choices can select the Cranberry Apple Spritz ($10), mixing cranberry, apple cider, sparkling soda, and citrus, or the Cranberry Ginger Fizz ($10) with cranberry, ginger, lime, and honey. These drinks capture the essence of the season in every glass.
Warm Up with Cranberry Tea
Cranberry tea options at JW Marriott The Rosseau are designed for cozy autumn afternoons. The Cranberry Orange Afternoon Tea ($9) infuses Earl Grey with cranberry and orange, while the Cranberry Chai Latte ($9) brings together chai spices, cranberry purée, and Ontario maple syrup under a layer of froth. These cranberry tea offerings enhance the muskoka autumn experience.
Relax with Cranberry Spa Treatments
The celebration of the cranberry harvest extends to spa treatments at the resort. The Fall Harvest Cranberry Body Scrub ($245) is a 60-minute ritual that uses a cranberry sugar exfoliation followed by nourishing body butter. Guests can also choose the Fall Harvest Cranberry Pedicure ($115) or Manicure ($115), both using cranberry-infused products for exfoliation, hydration, and relaxation. These spa treatments offer a luxurious way to unwind and embrace the fall season.
