Thanks, in part, to funding from the Ministry of Agriculture (Ontario Market Investment Fund), Taste the County, along with a number of Prince Edward County wineries attended Salute, Toronto's New Wine, Food & Lifestyle Festival, May 4 - 9, 2009. The wine regions of Prince Edward County and Argentina were showcased at the Thursday evening event in Toronto's magnificent 138 year old heritage venue Berkeley Church. Festival goers were keen to taste and learn about Prince Edward County wines. Attending wineries included Harwood Estates Vineyards, Rosehall Run Vineyards, The Grange of Prince Edward Vineyards & Estate Winery, Huff Estates Winery, Closson Chase Vineyards, County Cider Company, Black Prince Winery, Thirty-Three Vines and Bergeron Estate Winery. Taste the County served samples of cheese from Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Company and Black River Cheese Company while distributing brochures and promoting all of the wonderful experiences that Prince Edward County has to offer.
The courtyard in Toronto's classic Hart House at the University of Toronto provided an intimate setting for the Friday evening event. Rosehall Run and Closson Chase attended the Food Network's 100 Mile Challenge Ultimate Kitchen Party during Salute Saturday at the Distillery District.
It was was wonderful to see the Toronto public so enthused about the products that Prince Edward County has to offer.
