Prince Edward County
A land of wine and sand dunes by Lake Ontario, where wineries, white sand beaches, and charming towns serve as a getaway for Torontonians.
Prince Edward County is located in southeastern Ontario, a peninsula jutting into Lake Ontario, where limestone soils have created a renowned wine-producing region. Visitors can taste fine wines along the winery routes, including at Norman Hardie Winery. Sandbanks Provincial Park and North Beach Provincial Park are famous for their long beaches and sand dunes, while Lake on the Mountain Provincial Park offers scenic lake views. The towns of Picton, Wellington, and Bloomfield boast a rich artistic atmosphere, and the Millennium Trail is ideal for cycling. Summer is perfect for water activities, while autumn is great for harvesting and wine tasting. It is about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Toronto along Highway 401; Belleville has a train station, and the Glenora Ferry provides access from the east.
