Ontario- Prince Edward County Winery Tour- Countylicious
November 7-8, 2024
Join Travac on a Gastronomic Tour of The County!
Come and explore Ontario’s newest wine country! Prince Edward County, otherwise known as “The County”, is a rural hotspot with over 40 wineries, a growing craft-beer scene, cider, spirits and fabulous farm to table cuisine.
Prince Edward County is a cultural mosaic of early colonial Canada. Its earliest European settlers were loyalists traveling north from the American Colonies. These early settlers created a culture that remains magnetic to this very day. The simple, laid back lifestyle that is found in the county still resonates through its hills, valleys and waterways.
Travac Tours wants you to follow the Taste Trail with us and discover some of the best food and drink in “The County”. We will be visiting during the county’s Countylicious event, which highlights Prince Edward County’s varied culinary landscape and local producers making farm-to-table fare with special menus. Enjoy your night stay in Picton, the largest community in the county. Explore the small village of shops and farm to table restaurants.
Your 2-day package includes: deluxe motorcoach transportation, 1 night at The Picton Harbour Inn with breakfast, 2 wine tastings, 1 spirts tasting, 1 beer tasting and 1 cider tasting, dinner at Flame + Smith Restaurant for their Countylicious Menu, lunch at Waupoos Estate Winery for their Countylicious Menu, and the services of a Travac Tours Director.
