A crisp autumn breeze sweeps through the vineyards of Prince Edward County (PEC), carrying the scent of fallen leaves and the end of harvest season.

That’s why we offer comfortable, reliable coach transportation, allowing you to leave the driving to us and fully immerse yourself in the charm of this picturesque peninsula during this enchanting season.

Quaint Charm Meets World-Class Flavours

Located just a three-hour drive from Ottawa or a two-hour drive from Toronto, Prince Edward County is a hidden gem nestled along the north shore of Lake Ontario. Its unique geology, with its porous limestone foundation, contributes to the distinctive minerality and refreshing acidity found in its acclaimed wines.

PEC’s unique microclimate plays a vital role in creating exceptional wines. Prevailing westerly winds from Lake Ontario temper summer heat, maintaining an average temperature of 22°C. This provides optimal growing conditions for grapes, ensuring cool nights and a longer ripening period, leading to wines with beautifully complex flavours and aromas.
