A County Experience

Exceptional tours of Prince Edward County that can include numerous experiences. While there are many tour companies in the County none have ALL 5 star ratings. Personally run by the owner who has extensive knowledge of the wineries, breweries and cider houses as well as the amazing history of the County, you will experience a truly memorable tour.

Andrew Csafordi Studio Gallery

A graduate of the Ontario College of Art, Andrew paints exclusively with molten “encaustic” beeswax, incorporating other mediums. Luminous textures bring the viewer into an organic landscape unlike any other. His masterful paintings move naturally from two dimensions to three, from reality to colourful imagination, often echoing the fluidity of landscapes in The County. His works create a focal point and spark great conversation in one’s home or office. An exciting renaissance of this ancient “encaustic beeswax technique” has been growing with excitement. His sculptural paintings can be seen in his magnificent century-old BARN Gallery and new ANDARA Gallery also located onsite in the heart of Prince Edward County. Encaustic Painting workshops and gift certificates available. The Studio and Galleries are located minutes NW of the village of Bloomfield; first road north of Huff Estates Inn & Winery in the heart of Prince Edward County wine country.

I took Andrew’s 2 day encaustic workshop with a couple of friends. It was a great weekend! We learned so many different encaustic techniques and ended up leaving on Sunday with a bunch of our own new works of art. Andrew and his wife are very friendly and easy going. The property and Galleries are beautiful. Definitely a place to visit!

Stumbled upon the Love Nest Studio on our drive through Prince Edward County. Andrew gave us a great tour of Tara's studio as well as the barn where his work is displayed. Very interesting to hear their story and his process for creating his beautiful pieces of art. Will definitely recommend stopping in to anyone in the area!

We spent a week with all of our family in Wellington & took them to Sandbanks Provincial Park a number of times as they all loved the wonderful sandy beach & facilities The Grandchildren loved it & had a great time. It is so large & safe for the children as it is shallow for a long ways. Bring chairs & umbrellas & sunscreen.

Enjoyed our visit to the garden a lot! Very interesting sculptures and great landscaping. Super creative.I think to visit the gallery indoors you need to book in advance. But gardens are accessible any time and amazing. Highly recommended!

Armstrong Glassworks

As of January 2008, our viewing area will allow visitors to watch Mark if he is blowing glass. Please call ahead to check Mark’s schedule. Demonstrations for groups of 10 or more can be arranged.

Reviewed By Aguanno - Port Perry, Canada

Only open for two hours a day, this studio had an amazing display of innovative glass creations. We were dazzled not only by the creativity in form but also the interesting techniques used to create texture and colour in the glass. The artist/owner was a great conversationalist and we learned so much from his fascinating explanations and stories. The conversation itself was well worth the trip, but you'll find you cannot leave without at least one of his unique creations.

Sadly we didn’t have reservations so we could only visit the store. It’s a must for next time. It was very busy so make sure you reserve in advance
