This Ontario town is having a huge maple syrup festival next month

Maple season is fast approaching. And so is Prince Edward County’s epic maple celebration. Enter: March Maple Madness. And this year, the celebration is going to be even sweeter, courtesy of Drake Motor Inn’s Maple Madness Stay + Brunch Package.

First things first— If you aren’t familiar with Maple Madness, it is a month-long celebration of this iconic symbol of Canadian identity. Every weekend in March, you’ll find breweries, wineries, sugar bushes and restaurants in PEC serving up exceptional maple-themed culinary delights. From drinks and bites to entrée and desserts, there’s a lot to love.

All through March, you can enjoy various tastings at local sugar bushes and wineries or stop by some of Prince Edward County maple syrup producers to get your fix. And for the little ones of the family, an array of fun activities await!

Joining in on the celebration this year are the Drake Motor Inn and Drake Devonshire.

The boutique hotel and the retro motel have been an essential part of Prince Edward County’s charm for a while now. Thanks to its upscale, comfy, and pet-friendly accommodation, luxe vibe and themed stay packages. And they’re at it yet again!

The inn just dropped its sweet Maple Madness Package which is available for every March weekend booking. The package includes—

  • A two-night stay in a Double Queen (for up to four) or Flat (for up to two)
  • A maple-inspired brunch for four (does not include alcoholic beverages)

The brunch, of course, will be served at the Drake Devonshire, just down the street from the motel.

In case you were wondering— no, you do not have to book a stay to enjoy their special brunch. Drake Devonshire will be serving the brunch every weekend of March and foodies of all calibres are welcome.

Behind this weekend brunch is their renowned Executive Chef, Amanda Ray. This time, the chef has partnered with local syrup purveyor Nyman Farms and winery Sugar Bush Vineyard to offer some off-menu culinary creations with a delicious, syrupy twist.

If PEC’s long-standing reputation as the perfect weekend getaway has put the county on your bucket list, March would be a great time to check it off. Whether it is with the fam, your besties, your four-legged friends or your S.O., Drake Motor Inn and Drake Devonshire are the perfect places to start your maple adventure.
