No one loves eating their way through Toronto more than we do, but sometimes a city escape is truly needed. Our getaway of choice? Prince Edward County. The absolute best time to visit The County is fall, when harvest is well underway and the leaves are as bright as the local fare. Start the car already.
This autumn, from November 2–22, The County truly shines with Countylicious, a beloved PEC tradition that's back after two-years of modified planning. Savour and sip your way through all the delicious seasonal offerings from 15 County restaurants, breweries and wineries.
With three weeks of prix-fixe menus offered at each participating establishment, pack your appetite — and maybe a few comfy pants so you don't miss out on all the goods.
We can't wait to tuck into a piping hot plate of pasta from Onesta, or The Royal's elevated comfort food inside their stunning, newly renovated dining room. How about seasonal veg with a kiss of char from Flame + Smith's wood-fired oven? The options are endless. (Psst, many menus have vegetarian options for each course, which can usually be made vegan upon request, too.)
From boutique stays and the Firelight Lantern Festival to craft shows and wine tours, there's so much to see and experience during Prince Edward County's best-looking season.
Other than all the food and fun, the best part is you can receive a $50 credit on your stay at a StayPEC Member Accommodation, like the artsy Drake Devonshire on the water or the luxe Everly Inn nestled in a gorgeous meadow.
The fun doesn't stop when summer ends, plan a last-minute Countylicious trip to PEC this November and fill up on all things fall.
