REASONS TO VISIT THE COUNTY #2:
Wine, cider, beer, repeat
The first commercial vineyard opened in Prince Edward County in the early 1990s in Waupoos. What began as risky business, quickly became Prince Edward’s County’s claim to fame. The limestone rich soils and proximity to Lake Ontario contribute to County wine exhibiting a unique terroir that is receiving national and international accolades.
Since then, 34 wineries have been established, contributing to Prince Edward County being named Canada’s newest Designated Viticultural Area in 2007.
Add the award-winning cider company (which uses local apples grown in its orchard) and the local brewery (which uses seasonal ingredients like maple syrup in its beer) and your trip to Prince Edward County could be a one-stop-shop for all of your upcoming summer festivities.
