Prince Edward County Makes the List of the World’s Top Food Spots

"The year 2026 will be when the world catches up with what Canadians have known for quite some time—that the County, as locals call it, is the perfect long-weekend getaway for just about anyone but especially for those who love food and wine" [Condé Nast Traveler]

Prince Edward County was recently featured in an article on Condé Nast Traveler, celebrating some of the best places to eat in the world — a recognition of what locals and returning visitors have long known! The piece highlights The County’s evolution into a standout food and wine destination, shaped by pioneering wineries, passionate farmers, and a growing community of chefs who have built a dining scene far larger and more diverse than the region’s size might suggest. From vineyard tastings and immersive farm-to-table dinners to laid-back favourites and carefully curated menus, the article captures the heart of what makes PEC such a special place to gather around the table.
