Arriving from the east, the Loyalist Parkway from Kingston is
a beautiful lakeside scenic drive and the Glenora Ferry
shuttles cars to and from Prince Edward County at no
charge. Get out of the car, stand at the railing,
and watch the majestic landscape get closer.
The lake is sparkling, a few sailboats bobbing here and
there, the cool breeze ruffles your hair and you feel
yourself detaching from your routine.
Driving around the County is an experience unto
itself. You might pass by horses in pasture or have to slow
down to let some free-range chickens (or a migrating
turtle) cross the road. If you’ve got a photographer in the
car, be prepared to make many stops to get that perfect
shot of a rustic old barn, cedar rail fence or landscape
vista especially in the fall colours.
Walk, run or bike on the Millennium Trail
– a former railway that’s been converted into a multipurpose trail. You’ll pass by farmers fields, forests and
creeks, not to mention marshes that are teeming with
wildlife like frogs, turtles, beavers, and birds. A great spot
to take the dog for a long walk or just to get out and
enjoy nature for a while.
Over 370 species of birds have been spotted in Prince
Edward County. Keep a watchful eye and you’re more
than likely to spot a bird you’ve never seen before! The
Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory is an ideal bird-

found all over the County. Stop in at
Birdhouse City. Many local landmarks (and a
few international ones as well) have been re-created as
birdhouses with painstaking detail. It’s a cute and fun little
diversion, sure to delight both kids and kids-at-heart.
Lake on the Mountain offers a panoramic
view of the Bay of Quinte and is THE spot to get your
picture taken. Enjoy a picnic lunch as you enjoy the view.
You can learn about one of Ontario’s natural curiosities.
Lake on the Mountain is 62 metres above Lake Ontario,
yet is fed by a constant flow of clean, fresh water, with
no apparent source. Early settlers believed the lake
was bottomless.
There are lots of winter-time activities
to choose from! For cross-country skiiers, Sandbanks
Provincial Park has 11 kms of trails. Or, try snowshoeing the
frozen dunes for an uncommon view of a popular beach.
Test your mettle as the mercury goes down with some ice
fishing. The Bay of Quinte is one of the top walleye fishing
spots in the world. Or, just cozy up by a roaring fire with
some good food, good wine and good friends!

My art career started at a very early age by colouring outside
the lines. I later discovered photography and sometimes
still colour outside the lines. After many years as an award
winning Toronto photographer I came to the County to
do my own thing. Still life, architectural and documentary
photos on archival paper and large canvases are now my
focus with many of the facets of the County to choose
from. Open 10am to 5pm most days, May to Oct.; most
weekends Nov. to Apr., or by chance or appointment.
Ma carrière dans les arts a débuté à un très jeune âge en coloriant à l’extérieur
des lignes. Plus tard, j’ai découvert la photographie et parfois, je colore encore
à l’extérieur des lignes. Après de nombreuses années à travailler à titre de
photographe primé à Toronto, je suis venu dans le Comté pour m’adonner à
mes propres projets. Je me concentre maintenant sur les natures mortes, photos
d’architectures et documentaires, sur papier d’archive ou sur de grands canevas,
en choisissant parmi les diverses facettes du Comté. Heures d’ouverture : du
mois de mai au mois d’octobre, ouvert presque tous les jours de 10 h à 17 h ;
du mois de novembre au mois d’avril, la majorité des week-ends. Autrement,

Milé Murtanovski
Milé Murtanovski is one of the County’s most prolific
artists and one of its greatest advocates; over the last few
years he has painted hundreds of pictures of the people
and places that make this island so special. Pastoral vistas,
local farmers, and significant landmarks have featured
prominently in his recent work, but his interests don’t stop there; with a painter’s eye, Milé can
find the beauty in the everyday, painting classic cars, architecture, and rendering the human figure
in such a way that his subjects seem to glow from within. Milé enjoys painting in watercolour, oil,
ink, and even wine.
Now in its fifth year, the gallery at Small Pond Arts is located minutes from downtown Picton on
an 87-acre art farm. You’re invited to explore Small Pond’s walking trails which feature an everevolving display of outdoor art installations. Countless visitors describe the experience as
“magical” – come see for yourself! Small Pond Arts also hosts residencies for artists of all
disciplines wishing to create new work, providing studio space, cozy rooms, and home-cooked
meals. Open 10am to 6pm, April to November. Closed Tuesdays.
Milé Murtanovski est l’un des artistes les plus prolifiques du Comté et aussi, l’un de ses plus grands
défenseurs. Au cours des dernières années, il a peint des centaines de portraits et de paysages
qui font de cette île un endroit si spécial. Des vues pastorales, des fermiers de la localité et des
sites importants prédominent ses récentes oeuvres, mais il ne s’arrête pas là, avec l’oeil d’un
peintre, Milé peut trouver la beauté dans le quotidien, en peignant des automobiles classiques
et en rendant les personnages de telle manière, que les sujets semblent briller de l’intérieur.
Milé aime peindre à l’aquarelle, à l’huile, à l’encre et même au vin.
Marquant sa cinquième année, la galerie de Small Pond Arts est située à quelques minutes du
centre-ville de Picton, sur une ferme d’art de 87 acres. Vous êtes invités à explorer les sentiers
de Small Pond qui font un étalage sans cesse en évolution d’installations artistiques extérieures.
D’innombrables visiteurs décrivent l’expérience comme étant « magique » – venez-voir de vos
propres yeux ! Small Pond Arts accueille en résidence les artistes de toutes les disciplines qui veulent
créer de nouvelles oeuvres, en leur offrant des espace de studio, des chambres confortables et des
repas maison. Ouvert de 10h à 18h, du mois d’avril au mois de novembre. Fermé les mardis.

J.D. Thompson:
Painter of Dramatic
Atmospheric Skyscapes
448 Wilson Road, Bloomfield | 613.399.3857 | www.jdthompson.net
J. Douglas Thompson
Painter, Photographer,
Writer, Global Citizen
J. Douglas Thompson paints in acrylic depicting
atmospheric effects in all their permutations. Arriving
recently to set up a studio in Prince Edward County he
is convinced that this island landscape will provide him
limitless inspiration. Having experienced life in more
than sixty-five countries he finds the regal heights of
grand cumulus thunderheads or the low lying mists of
early morning stimulate his creative passion, whether
expressed through painting, photography or writing.
Gallery Hours: May to November: Open daily 1pm to
5pm by chance or appointment.
Douglas Thompson peint à l’acrylique pour décrire les effets atmosphériques dans toute
la splendeur de leurs métamorphoses. Ayant tout récemment établi un studio dans le
Comté de Prince-Edward, il est convaincu que les paysages de l’île sauront lui fournir une
inspiration sans limites. Ayant roulé sa bosse dans plus de soixante-cinq pays, il ne doute pas
que la formation imposante de cumulus qui menace avant l’orage, ou la brume qui s’attarde
au sol à l’aube du jour, ne feront que stimuler sa passion de créer, que ce soit en s’exprimant
sur une toile, dans une photo ou par écrit.
Heures d’ouverture de la galerie : De mai à novembre : Tous les jours de 13 h à 17 h.
Autrement, sur rendez-vous ou par hasard.

« Une audacieuse fusion de l’Ancien et du
Nouveau monde, les vignes de Closson Chase
n’existent que dans le seul but de créer des
vins exceptionnels. » Deborah Paskus.
Closson Chase compte parmi ceux qui ont donné naissance à l’industrie du vin dans le
Comté de Prince-Edward. Depuis 1999, Closson Chase s’est consacré à élaborer des vins
qui se distinguent en exprimant le mieux possible les attributs du terroir. Situé à Hillier, en
Ontario, ce domaine en globe plus de 30 acres d’un sol riche en calcaire faisant face au sud,
une plantation à forte densité avec deux cé pages bourguignons classiques – le Chardonnay
et le Pinot Noir. Des vignes cultivées pour une vendange à faibles rendements, une
vinification à la française et une longue maturité à 100 % dans des fûts de chêne de France.
Résultat : des Chardonnays exquis, riches et équilibrés et une complexité dans les arômes
du Pinot Noir. Heures d’ouverture 15 avril au 23 décembre - lundi au jeudi 11 h à 17 h,
vendredi au dimanche 10 h à 18 h ; Janvier 3 au 14 avril - lundi au jeudi sur rendez-vous,

By Chadsey’s Cairns
17432 Loyalist Pkwy., Wellington | 613.399.2992 | www.bychadseyscairns.com
Every wine has a story
Theirs is a typical wine tale. It began with seduction.
Richard, a former MPP—but not a farmer—had always loved
vineyards. Luckily he planted his on a strand of ancient
mineral-rich beach soil strewn with limestone rocks. His
bemused wife Vida, really a psychotherapist, watched the
vines grow, then began winemaking training in earnest.
Committed to authentic 100% County wine, Vida and Richard consider themselves wine
growers, always looking for new viticultural practices to push back the boundaries of their
cool-climate wine region and bring the ripest, most flavourful grapes to the cellar door.
Their wines are all classic fine varietals: oaked Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Riesling and
Gewürztraminer (often touched with noble rot), light-hearted Gamay Noir, and rarer wines
such as Muscat, Chenin Blanc and St. Laurent. The rosés are dry and the sparklings are a
striking vibrant red.
County wine pioneers, they live on a 200-year-old glorious and storied farm overlooking
Lake Ontario. The winery is named after an early settler, Ira Chadsey, who built stone cairns
on the property to guide him home when he returned in the afterlife as a white horse. A
charming apple house from the 1850s houses the tasting room. Visitors may picnic under the
old maple trees, view the lake from an historic barn or stroll through the Chadsey pioneer
cemetery. Opened 11am to 6pm daily, spring through fall. Call ahead for winter hours.
Leur récit est une histoire courante dans le monde des vins. Elle commence par la séduction.
Richard, ancien député provincial – mais pas fermier pour deux sous – a toujours eu un faible
pour les vignes. La chance lui souriant, il a planté sa vigne dans le sol d’une ancienne plage riche
en minéraux. Sa femme Vida, une psychothérapeute, d’abord stupéfiée, observa la croissance
de la vigne puis s’empressa à suivre un cours de formation sur la vinification. S’étant engagés à
élaborer des vins authentiques du Comté, ils produisent des vins blancs classiques qui s’étendent
du Chenin Blanc crispé aux Gewürztraminers aromatiques et des vins rouges qui s’échelonnent
des Gamays légers aux Pinots corsés. Pionniers de la vigne dans le Comté, ils habitent une belle
ferme, vieille de 200 ans. Ouvert de 11 h à 18 h printemps à l’automne, tous. Appelez à l’avance

Great
Boating
The Great Waterway in South Eastern Ontario is a region rich in boating history encompassing
the charming and historic towns of Cornwall, Brockville, Gananoque, Kingston and Belleville.
Home of the world-famous 1000 Islands, St. Lawrence Seaway and Rideau Canal, the
spectacular Great Waterway region is a boater’s paradise.
www.thegreatwaterway.com/boating
From the serene to the extreme, cruise, canoe,
kayak or dive the waters that surround you.
Laced together by the sparkling St. Lawrence River,
Rideau Canal, Bay of Quinte and Lake Ontario, the Prince
Edward County area is alive with pristine lakes and rivers.
Go on an underwater scuba diving adventure! There are
numerous shipwrecks from the late 1800’s & early 1900’s
just off the coast. Just picture yourself navigating through
the murky waters, you can just make out something up
ahead. Slowly it comes into focus and you can see a wellpreserved shipwreck that the fish have made their home.
If staying topside is more your style, why not charter a
sailboat and spend the afternoon leisurely sailing around
the 800 kilometres of beautiful Prince Edward County
shoreline. Follow the Great Waterway to discover an
abundance of water-based activities stretching from the
Bay of Quinte along the St. Lawrence River through the
1000 Islands and up the Rideau Canal. During the summer
months recreational boaters can navigate the original
locks of The Rideau Canal, a UNESCO world heritage site
that was built to connect the Ottawa River with Kingston
when Ontario was known as Upper Canada.
Canoeing and kayaking
are a great way to explore
the interior waterways.
It’s peaceful, quiet and
relaxing with only the
sound of your oar slicing
through the water.
La pêche et les bateaux
Le Comté du Prince-Edward fait partie de la voie
navigable des Grands Lacs du sud-est de l’Ontario.
Étroitement liée au resplendissant fleuve Saint-Laurent,
au canal Rideau, à la baie de Quinte et au lac Ontario,
la région est bien vivante avec ces lacs et ses rivières
encore à l’état sauvage.
Partez à l’aventure en faisant de la plongée sousmarine ! De nombreuses épaves qui remontent à la
fin des années 1800 et au début des années 1900
jonchent le fond des côtes. Imaginez-vous un instant,
nageant dans les eaux sombres, vous arrivez à peine
à distinguer quelque chose là, juste devant vous. Peu
à peu, le contour devient plus net et vous pouvez
distinguer les épaves bien conservés d’un navire que
les poissons habitent désormais.
Si votre style est plutôt au-dessus de l’eau, pourquoi
ne pas louer un voilier et passer l’après-midi à sillonner
les quelques 800km du littoral du Comté de PrinceEdward.Suivez la voie navigable des Grands Lacs et
du Saint-Laurent pour découvrirplein d’activités et de
sports nautiquesqui sont offerts, çà et là, de la baie de
Quinte, le long du fleuve Saint-Laurent, en traversant
les Mille-Îles et jusqu’au canal Rideau. Durant la saison
estivale, les navigateurs de plaisance peuvent franchir
les premières écluses du canal Rideau, un site du
patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, qui a été construit
pour lier la rivière Ottawa à Kingston, quand l’Ontario
était connu sous le nom du Haut Canada.
Le canot et le kayak constituent un moyen formidable
d’explorer les lacs et les voies navigables vers l’intérieur
des terres. Des lieux paisibles, calmes et reposants. Seul
le son de la rame qui fend l’eau vient rompre le silence.

Awaken your sense of adventure with a
memorable camping experience
After a day spent on the beach, building
sandcastles and watching kids frolic in the
waves, sit around the campfire roasting
marshmallows and telling stories.
Lean back and stargaze for a bit – the sky is huge, so
many stars twinkling and time seems to stand still. Off
in the distance, you might hear a coyote howl. Or catch
some tiny flickers of light along the treeline out of the
corner of your eye – fireflies! Fall asleep to the sound
of crickets and wake up to the sound of birds chirping
outside your window. In the spring, meander with your
morning coffee and score some sweet deals at the
many yard sales in the County. Locals treat this almost
as a sport! Check the local papers or just drive Hwy. 33 and
watch out for the signs. Stop in at a few of the local antique
shops and make a day of collecting unique treasures.
