Eat

Stella’s has been a fixture in The County since 2019 with their wine bar in Picton, but now you can experience the taste of Stella’s at their new location in Waupoos: Stella’s Eatery. At the former location of Stella’s Wine Bar you will soon be able to find Onesta, a new italian restaurant that will soon be serving up fresh pasta and sauce as they have been at their pop-ups at this location on Wednesdays this past Fall & Winter.

Bantam PEC – sister restaurant to The Marans Dinebar – has been serving up delightful lunches in Picton since last year. This summer, however, they have moved on from their Picton location to provide food at Closson Chase Vineyards. Follow them on social for updates about their opening.

Luckily, a new lunch spot has moved into town in Picton. Located in the lower level of the Picton Armory, Luso Bites is a luncheonette, snack bar and cafe, that will be serving up Portuguese-inspired dishes for your enjoyment.

Speaking of lunch, Creekside Cafe is a new addition to Wellington Main Street that serves up Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch in Wellington from Thursday – Monday. Think big breakfast plates, beautiful benny’s, waffles and more.

Bloomfield Public House transformed into a market for the last two years, but we’re excited to say that kitchen service has returned, Wednesday – Sunday from 11AM – sellout. You’ll find favourites like their fried chicken sandwich, smash burger and shrimp roll on their menu, alongside goodies from their market and grab & go favourites.

After a successful summer of 2021 as a food truck pop-up in Waupoos, Harry’s Charbroiled is opening a physical location in PEC in 2022 to continue slinging smash burgers all year long. Find them sooooonish right next to Waring’s Corner (aka the roundabout) toward Bloomfield.

🍃 PAUSE 🖼⁠ ⁠ Pause is a unique experienc 🍃 PAUSE 🖼⁠
⁠
Pause is a unique experience that encourages you to pause. Learn to engage all your senses and embrace the beauty of nature, then bring that beauty into a piece of art that you created under the guidance of an experienced encaustic artist.⁠
⁠
Inspired by the Japanese tradition of shin-rin yoku or more commonly referred to as forest bathing, you’ll be led on a meditative nature walk by a local herbalist. During this meditative walk, your guide will help you to connect to nature, identifying local plants, and teaching you about their medicinal and healing properties. The idea is that you will feel a sense of calm and clarity that will inspire a piece of art that you create yourself.⁠
⁠
After your nature walk, you will then return to @meltstudiogallery, where you will compose a collage encaustic painting. Guided by an experienced encaustic artist, you will create an original art piece using items that you collected during your walk, along with some additional pieces if you choose that will be provided.⁠
⁠

🐴 Bloomin' Welly Alpaca Trekk 🌳⁠ ⁠ This 🐴 Bloomin' Welly Alpaca Trekk 🌳⁠
⁠
This experience with the alpacas @noblebeastfarms is a perfect event to kick off your day in The County. Have FUN in the great outdoors. Silence your phone and let the busyness of life slip away while we engage your senses exploring our heritage alpaca farm.⁠
⁠
Meet and walk a special alpaca. Feel the softness of alpaca fibre, watch their smiling faces and learn about some of their unusual behaviours. And no farm visit would be complete without seeing some of the baby alpacas (cria)! ⁠
⁠
Inspired by the two hip and hoppin’ towns that flank Noble Beast Farms — Bloomfield and Wellington — this experience is suitable for guests of all ages wanting to slow down, reconnect with nature, and of course alpacas!⁠
⁠
If that sounds like a perfect outing for you, book your Bloomin' Welly Alpaca Trekk  today or head to VisitPEC.ca/experience-the-county/ (links in bio) to explore other special County experiences designed to help you immerse yourself in our local art, agriculture, nature, and history.⁠
