This weekend, you can enjoy one of the oldest agricultural traditions in Canada at the 10th annual Maple in the County Festival<\/a> in Prince Edward County, Ontario’s newest wine region and fastest-growing culinary destination. Cheese is part of the celebration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year, more than 8,000 visitors and locals enjoy a trip to one of our sugar bushes to experience everything from lip-smacking pancake breakfasts, sugar shack demonstrations, sugar bush tours, taffy on snow, maple kettle corn, wagon rides, lumberjack shows, baby animals or an antique tractor display. When your belly is full, head out to the wineries and breweries to try some maple-inspired wine, or Barley Days Brewery\u2019s new Sugar Shack Ale, using Fosterholm Farms maple syrup.<\/p>\n
