You Deserve to be Pampered for a Day!

A Taste of the "County"
Prince Edward County, a region known for its history, scenic shorelines and a unique island character, has established as an Ontario winery destination. Prince Edward County's wine industry is dynamic, exciting and expanding quickly. Since 1999, well over 500 acres of vines and 14 wineries have been established in the diverse limestone soils.

Their wineries showcase locally-grown wines that already demonstrate their unique regional characteristics. We dare you! If you come with us, the idea of moving to Prince Edward County will cross your mind at least once.
Yes, we will be going to the Wilton Cheese factory, pick Grapes and have a picnic lunch at the Sandbanks winery, then on to a local FarmGate and taste testing at two more wineries
on the last Sunday in September 2010 !
I enjoyed the trip to Picton yesterday. It was very well organized. Meeting yourself and getting out to socialize with such a friendly group of people
made it very enjoyable. And this is a good way to get away from
house chores, gardening stuff, etc. - A bus passenger on the 2007 PEC Day Trip

	Sandbanks Estate Winery is situated along the picturesque shores of Lake Ontario, minutes west of the village of Wellington, on the Loyalist Parkway, in the heart of beautiful Prince Edward County. Our philosophy is that all great wine begins in the vineyard! Our family estate vineyard was established in 2000 and now, in our 10th year, we personally attend to our six acres of vinifera and hybrid grapes. Sandbanks Estate vines are planted on a south-facing acreage within sight of Lake Ontario, which moderates the temperature during the year. They are rooted in soil composed of well-drained clay and limestone rock. We have worked hard with our land, and are very happy with it. Sandbanks Estate wines are a labour of love and created for your enjoyment - www.sandbankswinery.com/wines.html
	Sandbanks Estate Winery - lunch and grape harvesting. We have been invited to help bring in this year's grape crop at Sandbanks. Every year Catherine Langlois Owner/Winemaker invites people who wish to participate to bring their garden gloves and gardening shears to help bring in the crop. You can pick as long as you want during our stay at Sandbanks and they will show you what to do. At this time we will be distributing our picnic lunch which you can enjoy sitting at Sandbanks newly renovated customer enjoyment area. Buy a bottle or two of wine and share it with others on the bus during the lunch. Every lunch bag will have a little wine tasting glass in it - so don't worry about having something to taste out of. At Sandbanks Winery we will have a picnic lunch for everyone A picnic lunch will be prepared by Our Stone Cottage Catering and consist of: 2 homemade salads with a delicious chicken wrap, fresh baked oatmeal cookies, and a cold drink (bottle water, diet pepsi or diet ginger ale) Local produce will be used if available Please let us know in advance if you have any food allergies and an alternative lunch will be prepared for you. Hopefully it will be a sunny warm day!
