Les conseils d'initiée de Nancy

Nancy et son mari Frank ont déménagé de Montréal au Comté il y a huit ans pour rénover et ouvrir la ferme des années 1850 qui est maintenant Le Wilfrid, un Bed & Breakfast de charme qui offre le luxe d'un service orienté vers les détails. Nancy, également artiste accomplie, est membre de Le Conseil des arts du comté de Prince Edward, et elle travaille sur une série de portraits de résidents de PEC qui aura une exposition en 2025.

Quelle est votre partie préférée de la gestion d'un Bed & Breakfast ?
En tant que duo chef et designer, nous avons créé une expérience de séjour multi-sensorielle axée sur la cuisine créative et le bien-être, et nous repoussons sans cesse les limites de ce qu'un Bed & Breakfast peut être. Par exemple, au lieu d'un petit-déjeuner traditionnel, chaque matin, nos invités sont traités à un brunch de 4-5 plats, rempli d'ingrédients d'origine durable et de cuisine imaginative - probablement l'un des repas les plus mémorables que vous aurez avant midi !

Quels sont vos conseils d'initié pour aider les gens à passer un excellent séjour dans Le Comté ?
Le rythme dans Le Comté est beaucoup plus lent et c'est une bonne chose ! N'oubliez pas de respirer, de ralentir et de tout apprécier. Il n'y a pas de raison de se précipiter ou d'essayer de remplir vos journées avec des réservations et des activités - des promenades d'hiver sur la plage, le fait d'observer les gens et de faire beaucoup de "rien" est également vraiment agréable quand vous êtes ici. Vous pouvez toujours revenir et faire plus la prochaine fois que vous visitez !

222 Main Street West, Picton, ON, Canada, K0K 2T0

Start your evening off at Russ & Co—one of the best-looking cocktail bars we've ever set eyes on—for one of their signature drinks and then shuffle over to Bocado for an evening of Spanish shared plates.

5

252 Picton Main Street, Canada

Practically next door to The Russ & Co, Bocado is a tapas restaurant that pairs nicely after a cocktail. Bocado has wowed diners with its locally-inspired Spanish menu. Be sure to check out their market & bottle shop for snacks, olive oil, and everything you need to get started with your own paella at home (including paella pans).

Get a seat at the bar at both places to get in on all the action and chat it up with the staff and patrons.

Day 2 - 58.5km

This Bloomfield spa offers both classic and medical aesthetics. Located in a beautiful red brick Victorian, the luminous space is as welcoming as the staff.


Give your winter skin a boost of hydration and that healthy glow with one of their Hydrafacial treatments.

3

106 Bloomfield Main Street, Canada

This farm-to-table Bloomfield restaurant cooks everything on an open flame. Chef Hidde's flavour combinations are always spot on and even though the aged beef on display may seem like the best bet, in our opinion, the seafood and vegetable offerings are the stars of the show here.


Ask for the table by the wood stove, you'll enjoy the warm crackling fire and have a great view of the open kitchen's hearth.

1375 Royal Road, Milford, Ontario, Canada, K0K 2P0

As the evening approaches, return to The Wilfrid and experience the comfort of being at home in a setting worlds away from the everyday hustle. Relax at one of their outdoor lounge areas for some star gazing or curl up with a book by the fireplace in the library.

1112 Royal Road, Milford , ONT , Canada, K0K 2P0

Exultet Estates is a short 15-minute walk from The Wilfrid and produces estate-grown, award-winning wines. This family-owned winery prides itself on its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Vidal vines to produce some very classic wines. They also have a selection of wines under the name Knucklehead (a term of endearment for their three grown kids) these are fun, accessible wines. The tasting room is located steps from the vineyard and in the warmer months, you can grab a seat in the shade of one of the property's mature trees to sip a glass, listen to some live jazz or simply enjoy the bucolic setting.

Reach out to winemaker, Gerry Spinosa, ahead of time to schedule a private VIP barrel tasting and tour of the facilities. This unique experience will please any wine enthusiast and is a true expression of Prince Edward County terroir.

7 Elizabeth Street, Canada

Celebrating local ingredients unpretentiously, this Picton wine bar has a vibe we can definitely get behind. Miles, the owner, pumps out stellar small plates from behind the tiny bar kitchen, to accompany his thoughtfully curated wine list while Margot his partner in work and life works the room. Proof that talent comes in all shapes and sizes in Prince Edward County.
