It is with excitement that NSX Club of Canada is taking Est Fest 2011 to Picton, Ontario in the beautiful Prince Edward County region, just 90mins west of Gananoque, and 30mins south of Belleville Ontario. We will be staying right along the West Lake at a beach-front resort of Isaiah Tubbs.
Prince Edward County is an island community encompassing less than 700 square kilometers (270 sq mi), with over 800 kilometers (500 mi) of shoreline. It shares spectacular natural beauty with over 100,000 visitors each year. A popular attraction is Sandbanks Provincial Park, attracting thousands of visitors on hot summer days, and off course beautiful cruising roads. The county’s relatively mild climate due to the influence of Lake Ontario has led to the establishment of 26 wineries. Prince Edward County in recent years has become a top culinary destination. A fertile island bursting with vineyards, organic farms and a community of artists and chefs, tucked into the “golden triangle” between Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, it is the province’s newest Designated Viticultural Area, which helps identify the origin of a wine and its grapes.
Isaiah Tubbs is a 75-room beach front resort that caters to families and corporate team building events. Our group will have access to section off parking and beach front amenities. Tennis courts, swimming pool, basketball court are available to all the active folks. We are particular excited about the beach front gathering around the bonfire by the lake. The resort is divided into six buildings. Each offers a different level of accommodation to suit your particular needs. You may refer the attached map for building location at the resort. We have negotiated special rates for members who book before March 18, 2011. You may refer the attached link to have a look at the rooms.
