Why Fall Might Be The County’s Best-Kept Secret

By: Visit the County Updated: August 14, 2025

Prince Edward County may be known for its summers, but Fall in The County has so much to offer travelers of all kinds. When the air gets crisp and the leaves start showing off, The County transforms into a picture-perfect autumn escape. It’s that magical “best of both worlds” window where you can still sip wine on a sun-drenched patio by day, then toss on a sweater for a sunset stroll or bonfire by night. Whether you’re a foodie on the hunt for harvest eats, a leaf-peeper seeking backroad views, or just someone looking to swap the city for something a little slower (and a lot more scenic), we've got something for you.

Ready to Plan Your Fall Getaway? 

As with any County adventure, a little bit of planning goes a long way — especially in the Fall. Things slow down (in the best way), and after the summer hustle, many local spots shift their hours to embrace the cozier season. So before you set your heart on that wood-fired pizza or afternoon tasting, give your favourites a quick call or check their socials for the latest updates. Trust us, a bit of prep now means more sipping, strolling, and savouring later. 

So pack a scarf, bring your appetite, and prepare to fall hard (pun absolutely intended) for The County this season. From cozy vibes to colourful views — it’s all here, waiting to be explored. See you under the sumac!
