Live Events & Music
Waring House is known for professional live music satisfying varying tastes five nights a week in the Barley Room Pub.
On Saturday evenings, dinner is often accompanied by piano stylings on the Yamaha baby grand in Amelia’s Garden Dining Room.
Lots of events in slower times at the Waring House year-round – Comedy Nights, dances, Trivia, dances, concert performances in Waring Hall seasonal celebrations like St. Patrick’s Day, Valentine’s, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving – Never a dull moment!
Partake in Local Wine Tasting
Partake in local wine, beer, spirit and food product tasting when you dine at Waring House. The Inn is proud to be Feast On® Certified from Culinary Tourism Alliance meaning that a very significant portion of your dining experience is local – especially in the season and bi-annual Countylicious events.
Join us for Afternoon Tea
From 2–4 pm daily (reservations required), Amelia’s Garden Dining Room becomes a refined oasis overlooking our beautiful gardens. Dine on the patio when the weather is fine and enjoy traditional afternoon tea, all homemade by Pastry Chef Scott Jones. We only serve Harney & Sons teas (world-renowned tea blenders).
We do supply Tetley decaffeinated tea, although some Harney teas are caffeine-free as indicated on your tea menu.
24-hour advance reservations required by calling (613) 476-7492 ext 1.
Take a Walk (or ride) in the Wildside
The 49-km Millennium Trail begins right at the Inn’s doorstep, making it easy to step outside and start exploring. Starting in Carrying Place, the linear route winds through Prince Edward County, linking the charming towns of Wellington and Bloomfield before continuing on to Picton.
Stay With Sustainability In Mind
We are proud signatories of the Sustainable Tourism 2030 Pledge, a promise to reduce energy use, minimize waste, source locally, and protect ecosystems as responsible stewards of the region.
Waring House is Feast On® certified by the Culinary Tourism Alliance and must achieve a certain percentage of locally sourced food and beverage. For Waring House, that means right here in Prince Edward County.
Swirl. Sip. Stay Awhile.
Unhurried single malt and wine tasting experiences unfold year-round, including monthly dinner and malt tasting gatherings hosted in collaboration with the Prince Edward County Single Malt Society and the Prince Edward County Wine & Food Society. Good bottles, good food, even better conversation.
Enjoy a Hands-On Cookery School Class
Looking for a memorable group activity? Cookery classes make excellent team-building sessions or an inspired outing with friends, family, or fellow food lovers. Private classes are available for groups of six or more. All summer classes include a visit to the Waring House herb garden with the chef.
All This… And then Some!
Order a picnic lunch and enjoy it in the gardens, or on a bike ride along County trails. Visit Angus in the Pub to hear tales of resident ghosts.
