If you’re thinking about visiting the area surrounding the great lakes I would suggest crossing at Niagara Falls but not spending too much time at the falls themselves. Niagara Falls is somewhat urban but really tacky. I would suggest spending time in Niagara-on-the-Lake which is the centre of wine country in Southern Ontario. There are great hotels, inns, B&Bs as well as theatre and great restaurants. Peller Estates and The Charles Inn are my favourite places for dinner. The wine route winds all the way up to a town called Grimsby just before Hamilton. Stick to the smaller wineries like Thirty Bench, Angels Gate or the underground Megalomaniac http://winecountryontario.ca/ Wineries like Angels Gate or Vineland Estates have a great lunch too.
Since you’ve got 10 days you can drive to Toronto (2 hours from the border) or if you’re really feeling adventurous I highly recommend the Muskoka area in July/August (4.5 hours from the border).
Careful here. If Google says “8h drive” this means absolutely no red lights, no traffic jam, going max allowed speed all the time and no pit stops. I would double that for a realistic estimate, or plan 3x as much if you want to stop for roadside attractions every now and then.
I have been to Toronto during winter. The area on the Canadian side is pretty built up with ugly urban sprawl and I didn’t like it that much.
I dont know what type of sightseeing you want to do, but the Canadian side of the great lakes seems to be mainly city attractions (skytower, museums etc.), and not much outdoor stuff…
