Drop these at your next County dinner — ideally one of ours.
Prince Edward County is nearly surrounded by water — joined to the mainland by a causeway at Carrying Place and, on the east, only by a ferry.
It has crossed the Bay of Quinte since the early 1800s, and it still won’t cost you a cent.
Lake on the Mountain sits about 60 m above the Bay of Quinte with no obvious source — a mystery for generations.
Sandbanks holds one of the largest baymouth barrier dune systems on the planet — freshwater dunes you can climb.
The County is one of Ontario’s official wine regions, prized for limestone-rich soils, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
A young Sir John A. Macdonald cut his teeth as a lawyer in Picton before his political career took off.
Picton is named for Sir Thomas Picton, a British general who fought and fell at the Battle of Waterloo.
At Macaulay Mountain you’ll find “Birdhouse City” — dozens of elaborate birdhouses modelled on real landmarks.
Picton’s Regent Theatre on Main Street has entertained the County for roughly a hundred years.
Put it to the test at Trivia Night.
Indoor & outdoor games, two patios and a packed events calendar — right on Picton Main Street.
