In Prince Edward County, wine lovers can explore the region’s 40+ wineries, many of which offer tastings and tours showcasing award-winning local wines. Pair your visit with some incredible farm-to-table dining, where restaurants feature the County’s fresh produce, cheeses, and meats. Sandbanks Provincial Park is perfect for unwinding, with its famous white-sand beaches, towering dunes, and shoreline trails ideal for swimming, hiking, or simply relaxing. The County’s charming small towns, like Bloomfield, Picton, and Wellington, are also worth exploring, offering boutique shops, local galleries, and artisan markets.

The St. Lawrence River Corridor is best experienced from the water, with boat tours departing regularly from Kingston and Gananoque to explore the stunning Thousand Islands. While some cruises cater to large groups, smaller operators often provide a more intimate and relaxed experience.

Kingston itself has a charming waterfront, perfect for a stroll, and nuggets of heritage can be found throughout the town. A selection of museums and historic sites highlights its diverse history—from the military past at Fort Henry National Historic Site to the shipbuilding heritage at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. For something truly unique, the Correctional Service of Canada Museum offers an unexpectedly fascinating insight into Canada’s penitentiary history.

Whether you’re indulging in wine and food in Prince Edward County or exploring the cultural and scenic beauty of the St. Lawrence River Corridor, these regions provide plenty of ways to enjoy your time.
