What to Expect
​
Your guided tour starts in the historic downtown high street of Picton, which is the largest town in Prince Edward County (PEC). You will sample several of our chefs’ favourite foods as well as some interesting drinks (alcohol and/or non-alcohol). Each tour is a little different based on the availability of our chefs.
​
We will wander for two to three hours (depending on day / time booked) over a two to three-kilometre path. Many chefs or proprietors from each location may be present during the Wander. Some locations are opening especially for our visit.
​
Epicurious boxes are not included in the Wander but can be purchased at the time of booking to be made available at the end of your tour.
With a maximum of 10 people, we will guide you to local eateries, cafés, and historical sites where talented chefs will tantalize your taste buds with their creative dishes.
Your two-hour wander will fly by as you fill your mind and body with great stories and delectable tastes of The County. Our tastings include fresh ingredients sourced within a 20km radius. Therefore, the selection changes with seasonal offerings and may include:
· handmade pasta,
· fish and chips (locally caught fish)
· foraged wild mushrooms
· heirloom produce
· French toast

Similar to the morning wander, the afternoon wander will also include a few more locations, an optional glass of wine or sparkling water while you wander through a historic site and a mocktail or cocktail in a speakeasy style setting with a seat saved especially for you to finish the tour.
​
Your approximate three kilometre / three-hour wander will fly by as you fill your mind and body with great stories and delectable tastes of The County.

Indulge in a culinary celebration of Picton's food and drink scene.
Join us for a curated tour of one of the oldest farmer's markets in Ontario, which was revived in 2020 and now has more than 45 vendors where you will taste some of the best The County has to offer.
From there we will take a mini wander down Main Street, where we learn the history of Picton and meet some local purveyors of fine good until we ultimately land at our brunch destination. This hidden gem is where a treasured local chef awaits to create a brunch experience like no other. Indulge in a mouthwatering meal prepared with local ingredients and savor the farm-to-table (or dare we say ‘Farmers Market to Chef's Table’) flavours that truly embody the essence of Prince Edward County.
