Mini Guides: Prince Edward County

Looking for a quick travel guide without all the extra reading? This guide will give you lots of options to be able to choose from, featuring all the best restaurants, places to stay, and wineries to visit. I’ve also created the perfect winter itinerary for Prince Edward County if you’re looking to go in the next few months. 

Prince Edward County is known for its abundance of wineries, vintage stores, restaurants and art galleries. The area is constantly changing and even though I was just there in the winter (and last summer!), there are already new and different things to share with you.
