International Women's Day - Card Making Workshop

On March 8th in Prince Edward, Ontario, a two-hour card-making workshop transforms a winery’s back barrel room into an intimate creative salon for International Women’s Day. From 1–3pm, participants are greeted with a splash of sparkling wine, light fare, and a fully stocked craft table with blank card stock and postcards, watercolours, markers, pencils, stickers, and stencils. The workshop runs two hours and is capped at 12 guests; the minimum age is 19, so the mood stays lively and convivial.

The back barrel room is the scene setter: stacked oak barrels and warm wood grain frame long tables where you can spread paints, practice lettering, and assemble layered, hand-crafted cards. This experience is a standout in Prince Edward County’s vibrant wine scene because it pairs tasting culture with creative practice, turning a standard winery visit into a focused, social craft session. You’ll work from guided prompts or follow your own inspiration to create a single card ready to send, giving you both the satisfaction of finishing an artwork and a meaningful way to say thanks.

Supplies are included, so there’s no need to bring materials beyond any personal favorite pens or photos to use as reference; an apron can help keep clothing clean. Beyond the craft itself, the tasting element matters: sparkling wine softens conversation and lends a celebratory air, while light fare keeps everyone comfortable during creative bursts. The workshop also makes for a thoughtful group outing—friends, family members, or small teams will find this format easy to coordinate within a longer weekend of vineyard visits.

Photographically, the back barrel room rewards close-in detail shots: paint-streaked hands, layered paper edges, a half-finished watercolor wash, and the warm concentric rings of oak barrels behind your tableau. Booking is required—spaces are limited—and the referral link supplies current availability and payment options. Practical notes: the event starts promptly at 1pm, runs until 3pm, and enforces a minimum age of 19; if you have mobility needs, contact the host ahead of time to confirm accessibility.

This workshop is less about technical instruction and more about connection—celebration, community, and creativity—so come ready to experiment, share stories, and make something personal. If you’re visiting Prince Edward to sample wines and local culture, this two-hour card-making event offers a memorable pause: craft, clink glasses, and leave with a keepsake that carries intention. Reserve early through the booking link, and plan to celebrate International Women’s Day in a way that blends thoughtful making with the convivial spirit of a local winery.

Bring a small inspiration photo, wear layers for changing cellar temperatures, and arrive ready to socialize—this is the kind of experience that turns an ordinary visit into a memorable, creative celebration with friends and sparkling wine.
