If you are near Grand Pré, this is a must-visit spot! I have eaten here several times and it seems even better since my last meal. The view from the dining area is breathtaking and reason enough to come here. We enjoyed warm and friendly service throughout our lunch. The shrimp and lobster roll was beautifully presented and delicious. The braised lamb tacos were great, too.

We visited this vineyard on a busy day, but with plenty of seating we were able to get a table quickly. The service was a little slow, though our waitress was very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious - I had the soup of the day and the pesto chicken sandwich, and I’d highly recommend both. The vineyard has a beautiful view, making it a lovely spot to relax. Do bring a sweater, as it can get chilly with the wind and shade, though they do provide blankets if needed. I’m not a huge fan of their wine, but I’d happily return for the food and the great atmosphere!

I only stayed at Luckett Vineyards for a short time, but it was such a great experience! I’d totally recommend it to anyone passing by the area. I had some appetizer with wine and the beef carpaccio was especially delicious, and the tomato soup taste deep. The view from the restaurant is amazing, so even if you can only stop by for a bit, it’s worth it. Don’t miss the cute red phone booth. it’s a perfect photo spot! The wine was also great value for the price.

The red phone booth welcomes you as you approach this beautifully tended vineyard. Along with the vines, the grounds are lined with beautiful beds of flowers and plants. A treat for the eyes as you arrive. Inside the stunning building (it was misty and sprinkling the day we visited), we enjoyed a $12 wine tasting with generous pours and the most knowledgeable and passionate host. My husband and I recommend their Tidal Bay, Phone Box Red and Big Bill. Before we left we visited the red booth to phone it in.

We had such a wonderful time , We did the tasting and were so impressed by the variety and quality of the wines—each one was better than the last. Our server was incredibly helpful and made the whole experience even better. The views of the vineyards were breathtaking, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon. We'll definitely be back!"

Subpar wine, mediocre food. My friend had one of the saltiest clam chowder here. Servers didn’t know how to bring us through the descriptions and taste of the wines. They had an electric vehicle charger on site but my EV wasn’t charged. Beautiful spot though and still worthwhile to drive out for a nice afternoon, especially since there is really nothing much to do in Calgary.

Restaurant with a beautiful view of the vineyard and unique phone booth that works! Phone Box red and white wines were a great complement to the food. On a sunny day, the doors were open to let in a fresh breeze.

My wife and I stopped by the winery today on a mini-wine tour. We were here last in 2016. After purchasing a bottle of Gaspereau Rose to enjoy on the deck we purchased another bottle to take home. The bottles were reasonably priced at $22 but we were not informed of the $15 corkage fee. Made our experience less than 5 star, which it would have been otherwise.

Great location, great wines including Tidal Bay, one of their best and also try their Rieslings. Sit on their deck and sip their wine.

Gaspereau had a wine with a litchee taste -which was very unexpected and surprising-. We have to give them original points. The outside setting is also perfect.

We stopped by Gaspereau Vineyards about a month ago to sample some wines. We tried their Riesling, Rosé, Lucie Kuhlmann, Tidal Bay and Cuvée Brut; and, they were all pleasing. The staff was also very friendly and informative.

Located along a quiet country road with beautiful country side as a back drop. Stop in and taste the local wines (their Muscat is still the best) and stay for lunch on the outdoor patio. Food is excellent, try the smoked salmon trio with the Muscat or the lobster sliders with the Riesling.

A great selection of wines with an amazing patio and lounge area! Dog friendly with a great tasting bowl on the porch for the pups! The muscat and the Rosé are great! A great stop between Benjamin Bridge and Luckett.

I visited there on the way go to Halifax from Clair. I needed to stretch my body and have a nice meal. The view was incredible. Food was very delicate. I hoped I had a company to share my pizza and tried other food.

Stunning place for photos and to just breath in fresh air , the plants are beautiful and the grounds so well kept .

I recently visited the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens and was absolutely enchanted by the experience. The gardens are meticulously maintained and offer a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The architecture of the buildings adds to the charm, creating a picturesque backdrop for photos. It's a perfect place for a leisurely walk, photography, or simply to relax and enjoy nature. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens. Whether you're a plant enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful retreat, this place will not disappoint.

We arrived a little early in the season and so we're not able to see many of the flowers that were in bud but not yet bloom. There's a really nice brook with a small waterfall that takes you down into a bog area. There's also a hot house where you can watch botanists work with plants. We arrived early in the season and there was no entrance fee. I'm not sure if there's an entrance fee during season. This is a great stop if you happen to be riding by but not really a destination.

A lovely place to walk and be in nature. My kiddo really liked the fountains. Most of the botanical gardens are dedicated to native plants from the region, which is really neat. Lots of signs telling you about the types of vegetation and individual plants. They also have some extensive walking trails, but we didn’t do those today. Oh, and it’s free!

“A beautiful, scenic place in the center of Acadia University with charming Neo-Gothic design.”

Was there this past weekend from Ottawa to document a beautiful wedding on the ground of the University. We did most of the images in the gardens and it was just the perfect backdrop for them. Highly recommend checking it out!

It was a truly great experience for me, my wife, and our little one. It really turned out to be a fantastic learning experience as well, and it was a fun and engaging way to pass the time while we were out in town.

So many artisans and vendors. Along with one of the best Americanos I've had. And make sure to get some momos while you're there cause you won't taste another recipe like it. I forgot to go back to grab some mushroom boxes but will next time, and judging by how long the bakery lines were, I would have to assume it's a Saturday morning staple.

Beautiful market with great people! Love to be a vendor there!! Follow hennabyana08 for my more lovely designs 🥳

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at The Market and I really cannot say enough good about them. Yana was incredibly helpful, and was the backbone to making sure our whole process was easy and ran smoothly. Really reasonably priced, and the space is gorgeous. Easily fit 100+ people comfortably, with room for a dance floor.

It was a fun market. Got some fresh fruits and food

I was visiting the area and stopped by this farmers market - and I loved it! There’s a nice variety of vendors, all very friendly, with lots of local produce, cheese, takeout, and handcrafted items. If you enjoy browsing markets and shopping locally, this is a great spot to check out.

Love this farmer's Market! First visited many year ago, when it was still an outdoor event in a parking lot ... my how it's grown, and all for the good! I love being able to shop local and know my money is going into the pockets of our farmers, and so supporting families and food security in the region - especially this year, when the weather has dealt them a blow. Wolfville Farmer's Market truly has pretty much everything you need, fresh every week, and most pricing is competitive with the grocery stores. SO - no reason NOT to shop local farmers! DID I MENTION: great food vendors and coffee on Saturday mornings? Live music? Potters, woodworkers, jewellery makers, artists, home decor?? ALSO: wfm to go!! They have an online pre-order system, so you can shop from your home, and have your order delivered to a hub for you to pick up! Great vibe, great people, great food.

Wonderful market, lots of vendors with a wide variety, and the permanent market space means that it actually feels like a part of the community. The popularity makes it tricky to navigate in the colder months, but there is a good flow of people and some small tables to eat at.

If there's a wait, visit the concierge and book a table. Then grab a glass of wine and tour the ground. Half hour later you get a text your table is ready and 20 min later (after your $16 flight of wine) you're enjoying lunch. An absolutely pleasurable experience!

L&W is a beautiful vineyard! If you go for a tasting the wines are fantastic, and they even have non-alcoholic flight options! If you go for a meal they have the best pizzas (and pizza crust dips)! L&W, I’ll be back!

What a pleasurable experience. Kevin was a fabulous server with tons of personality and information. The wine selections was vast, beautiful variety. Certainly recommend checking. out the whites which are prominent in this region. The menue was diverse and flavour packed.

Stopped in today while touring winery’s in the area. This was our favorite. The wine was great and the view was fabulous. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. We choose the Signature flight.

Lightfoot & Wolfville has an extensive patio - indoors and out - which provides a view of their stunning vineyard and mud flats. Tasting flights were all amazing and staff was super friendly - even allowed us a taste of Tidal Bay when we didn’t get it in the flight.

What an amazing spot. We have neen there a few times to sample and purchase some wine on our stays. Today we stayed for lunch and it didnt disappoint. Fantastic food , service and atmosphere. Cant wait to see you again soon

Lovely winery to stop at for a spot of lunch. Food was pretty good. Nice atmosphere all around!

Great little vineyard that mostly produces sparkling wines. Wine tasting was great. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They patiently answered any questions we had. My favorite was their rose. If you like sparkling wines, don't miss the opportunity to visit L'Acadie Vineyards.

Stopped in a a great time we were the only ones there. Had a great conversation with the staff who gave us lots of info about there wines. Also had tips on good local spots to visit.

Loved the wine tasting experience. The wine was so delicious with its essence, that we purchased one. The staff was incredibly kind. They patiently and enthusiastically explained how they are produced, and other questions asked. Definitely a MUST VISIT. 5/5 Easy.

Had such a wonderful time at L'Acadie this summer! The vineyard tour was a wonderful experience, and it was great to learn more about the vineyard's process before sampling their wines. The staff were so helpful and knowledgeable, and the wines were fantastic. Could not recommend more highly!

A never miss stop on the Annapolis Valley wine tour. Vintage after vintage, this place always impresses me with their fantastic sparklings. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly with above standard Covid practices. Buy $50 worth of wine and your tasting is free! Try everything. Favourite this year: 2017 Vintage Cuvee.

Delightful! Wonderful hosts and the sparking here is top shelf. Try them all. You won’t be disappointed. Hidden gem and possibly the best sparking in NS (hell - Canada, as I’m from the west coast and haven’t had any better from the Okanagan Valley. Super awesome!

Knowledgeable staff, delicious wines, and organic even! Such an exciting find. We bought wines here for our thanksgiving dinner and they paired perfectly with our feast. Delightful!

This was one of many vineyards we visited In the region.Highlights of this one is truly the landscape and lounge ability of this place its truly lovely. Numerous seating options, inside tent , picnic tables, Fire pit, lawn games etc. Thou I was really surprised to not see or be offered indoor section or shop? And slightly disappointed in the limit in food menu and nothing cooked/ warm even the cheese dip was served cold. As for the wine it was lovely and the Nova 7 is a crowd pleaser I'm certain. Server was pleasant and heaters and blankets much appreciated to beable to enjoy in cooler temps.

I recently visited Benjamin Bridge Vineyards and it was an incredible experience! The wines are absolutely delicious, and the best part was the stunning river — it made the whole visit feel so peaceful and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

A girlfriend and I went for the sparkling wine tasting. Our host Ryan was absolutely amazing! He made us feel so welcome and had many laughs. Great experience overall! They also have a few games, so to entertain a bigger group

Fantastic winery showcasing the best of local sparkling wines. Worth visiting as one of the top wine producers in Nova Scotia. Bonus points for having a fantastic space to sit outdoors and enjoy nature.

Its a really nice vineyard to spend a few hours when you are in the valley. We had a great time. There are fire pits, plenty of picnic benches, games. There is a little garden down the hill there is also a little stream and more seating by the stream.

We purchased bottle 204/400 of the Benjamin Bridge 2018 Underwear Quest this winter, from the Nova Scotia Liquor Commission. Yesterday we shared it with friends. We served it with oysters, which was the perfect pairing.

We had an amazing experience at Benjamin Bridge, thanks to Ryan, who did our guided tasting! Ryan is so knowledgeable, so kind, and so fun! Thank you Ryan!

Beautiful historic church surrounded by fascinating graveyard.

Really cool cemetery The building looks amazing but it's only open by appointment during the high tourist season, and we didn't know. I don't blame them. I assume the services there are beautiful.

Beautiful old church. The grave yard is of the period and hard to read dates but that is to be expected.

Nice. Not quite a lot to see…but historic, neat graveyard. Not sure I’d make a special trip but worth it if driving by.

Great history.

Had a lovely tour of the house. So nice to see it. There's a ghost... so if you know about them... you know. She tried to straighten our posture! To be ladies!

This is a great museum. The current curator even puts on little tea parties for kids. We brewed peppermint tea and had a selection of cookies and it was perfect. She got to drink out of the nice antique tea cups, and wasn't made to feel like a child. I love bringing my daughter down to share some of the heritage of Wolfville's past and fully recommend it to anyone in the area. Don't forget to sign the guest book! This place is free to visit, however if you'd like to contribute to keeping the museum running there is a donation box at the front door.

FYI: I drove from Texas, USA to do family research. The website says open on Wednesday at 10:00AM. I'm at the museum now, Weds, Sept 14, 10:05, and there's a note posted on the door, not opened on Weds in Sept. I leave town tomorrow. I'm very sad and disappointed. Please keep the website up to date.

Alex gave us a very informative and knowledgeable tour. He's a history student at Acadia University.

Had a tour of the house and learned so much about the local history. Highly recommend visiting the Randall House

The guide told us stories of Wolfville's history with great enthusiasm.

Great exhibits, and the staff is passionate about preserving history!

This beautiful winery is located in the stunning Annapolis Valley region. What a treat to enjoy their wine tasting and walk around the grounds in historic UNESCO Grand Prix Heritage site. The tastings were $12 with generous pours of the wines produced from grapes unique to the area. We really enjoyed and recommend their L’Acadie for white wine drinkers and their Field Blend for red wine drinkers.

Grand Pré - we are so glad we stopped by before you closed. Staff was so helpful and recommended flights - and we were lucky enough to try their Muscato. They haven’t had Muscato since 2017, so it was a real treat. Had the tasting fees waived because we bought a box! Thanks!

I gave 1 star because we couldn't get served at all. When we arrived, we were asked to wait 5-10 minutes — which we did. However, we then had to wait another 10 minutes while they served other people who arrived after us. When we were told to wait again, we decided to leave — there's no point in waiting when locals openly cut ahead, while you, as a polite foreigner, stand and wait for unclear reasons. Also, there are no snacks offered to go with the wine — not even cheese and crackers. There are many other wineries that are much more friendly and customer-oriented, so why waste your time here? It’s just a highly promoted tourist spot where you'll end up waiting in line with a big group of people. I do not recommend it.

Great Winery producing top quality Nova Scotian wines. Particularly their Tidal Bay, NS Brut and Ice wines are very good. The charcuterie board offered with wine tasting is also a gourmet delight. Overall a great winery to visit, especially for those who enjoy wines on the sweeter end such as Moscato and rislings.

The winery is nice and has a nice walk. However, if you are coming here for food, change your mind and make sure to have food beforehand. The wine is really good, especially the NS red. However the portions for food are so small that it leaves you confused whether you had food or air. I’m sure I lost calories by eating the food. So if you want to lose calories, it is a great spot. Oh and bring salt with you unless you want to eat just plain ingredients with no spice, trust me.

Had a wonderful lunch, the service was great. Michelle in the tasting room took great care of us, made very good recommendations. Enjoyed the wine and the walk to the UNESCO viewing area.

We visited Grande Pre winery this past weekend and we loved it! The male who was working this Saturday who led our group wine tasting really made the experience!! He was so knowledgeable and welcoming. We went through the correct way to taste wine and had so much knowledge about the winery and all the wines they offered. I loved their Tidal Bay and friend loved the Castel! I can’t wait to visit again!

We didn't really take the trail too far, but the part we hiked was nice. We were there primarily for the Pumpkin People. From there we journeyed to Bugher Hill Park for their Pumpkin People and dinosaurs. Kind of cool and my grandkids really enjoyed it.

We started the trail at Annapolis Royal, it was rough and sandy, very hard to ride, lots of ATV ruts that was the first 70km from Berwick to Grand Pre it was perfect

The part between Berwick and Annapolis River is not made for road bikes or even touring bikes. It’s sandy and used by ATVs not fun at all. We took the road instead, I strongly reccommand taking Clarence and Brooklyn Road instead, the ate less cars than the 1 or 201 and the view over farmland on one side and the moutain in the other side is great.

This is our favorite walking and biking trail. We're so fortunate to have this in our area.

Beautiful trail. We biked from Annapolis Royal to Grand Pre over two days. This is a very friendly bike trip for beginners as it is mostly flat save for a few very small hills. You’ll see wildlife, orchards, farms and vineyards. Plan ahead to stop at some small towns in the valley and enjoy the beauty. The trail was a little soft in a few scattered spots between Bridgetown and Kingston which presented slight difficulty for super thin road bike tires but it’s a trail so that’s on me. Nothing we couldn’t get through but it slowed us down a little. I saw at least a dozen different bird species. Spend your money at the local spots along the way and you’re in for a treat.

Really a lovely Fall day when we were there. Good signage. Easy parking. Graded and level. Easy walking.

My 1st time here and there was still some snow on the ground so I couldn't go very far. It's a very pretty area.

This is a top notch Farm Market. Not only is there an abundance of fresh produce but they also sell a variety of local goods. Everything from jams, cheese, hot sauce to local books and gifts. It is very clean inside and everything looked so fresh and tasty. Friendly staff and a very nice clean washroom. I think it's well worth the stop.

Took the kids to the farm for apple picking over the weekend. The sweetest apples I've tasted in Hafa so far. Corn maze, haunted house—the experience was great, but there just weren't enough restaurants.

Had an amazing experience on a weekend during the fall. best time to loosen up a bit. Great for family picnics. Can't resist the smile and wonder in every child's eyes with every bite of a freshly picked apple.:)

Been there recently for apples U-Pick. No entry fee, have plenty of parking spaces. I liked their Gala apples.

Today was our 2nd year coming here. Nice place to spend the afternoon with the family. Kids loved the tube slides. The only thing that needs to be adressed is the time of the last wagon ride to the apple u-pick. When we got there around 3:30p PM I asked an employee what time the wagon runs till, and she said until 6. I thought that was strange as last year the last ride was well before 5:30. The whole area closes at 6 PM but ok, she works there, she knows better? We carried on with our time, then while passing through the admissions building to purchase an apple bag, I ask again when the last wagon ride is, as again - the whole place shuts down at 6 so surely the last wagon ride is before then but no, I was told again, the last one is at 6. So my mother and I proceed to the other end where the wagons are, and we ask an employee at the stand when the next wagon is coming and they say one should be coming soon and we can park beside them. Minutes pass and we ask someone else, they say 2 minutes so we wait in our vehicle, 20 minutes pass by and we ask again and the same employee that said "2 minutes" now says " I don't know" my mom and I exit our vehicle to ask again, and the man who drives the wagon to the U-pick shows up and we ask him if he's going now and he said No, he's done for the day. We tell him that we were told he's taking rides until 6 and he says no, that he's been there for 20 minutes and no one needed a ride. We say that's not true as we were beside the wagons waiting for more than 20 minutes and no one was there. He says nothing. We're not going to argue about it so we just decide to walk up. My mom is 68 years old so it was very difficult for her to make it up. I mention it on the way back down as they were closing up the admissions shop. The employee was surprised we were turned away at 5:30 and apologized. Alll in all it's a good time for the family but the wagon ride mixup was a huge turn off. Last year we missed the last ride and again this year, through no fault of our own. Staff need to be more communicative and give consistent answers.

Loved the produce, apple cider and apple wine we got. Fair prices. Great selection.

Oh these were amazing, you buy a bag and just go picking, whether its apple, corn or maize. When we went, there were no trucks taking us inside, but the walkway was short and amazing. Would definitely recommend coming in fall for the harvest season. They also had plenty of parking space.The views were beautiful with all the fall colors and variety of apples to pick from 😀

The wines we purchased here were very good and we enjoyed them a lot. 5 stars. However, unfortunately, the salesgirl was not very knowledgeable about the wines she was selling. It would also be great if the shop offered snacks like nuts and crackers, as they are always helpful for comparing different wine varieties.

I have done a couple winery tours in Wolfville but this was the first time visiting Mercator Vineyards. The building is beautiful and very tastefully and thoughtfully decorated. They have a beautiful area upstairs for larger groups. The only downfall was the amount of each pour at the tasting. The amount of wine given for each wine tasting was SO much less than every other winery we visited, it definitely wasn’t an ounce. It appeared to be more like 1/4 an ounce. It was so obvious that a number of people in our tour made a comment about it. I’m not sure if the staff member was just a new employee, as he had mentioned he was a student at a university in the area? I’m not sure.. but other than that, it was a great visit!! Shoutout to the staff member from Newfoundland.. you’re awesome!!

We stopped into Mercator Vineyards on a weekend road trip, and it was such a great experience. The setting is beautiful and relaxing, perfect for enjoying some amazing wine. Their Tidal Bay is honestly the best we’ve had in the region, and the reds were spectacular too. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and you could tell they really love what they do. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to and recommending to friends.

We visited Mercator Vineyards a few weeks ago to sample some their wines. It was a beautiful farmhouse building with several rooms and seating areas indoors and outside. The wines we tried were actually very enjoyable; and, the service was knowledgeable and friendly.

Really beautiful vineyard. We enjoyed our wine tasting and left with lots of goodies for home! The staff were super friendly and helpful. We will return.

The staff here is incredible and super accomodations! The wine pairings were well done and the back patio makes for a perfect place to relax and enjoy. For those travelling with dogs, the back patio and grass area is pet friendly. They have dog water bowls and treats as well! Highly recommend adding this to your list of stops.

They have a habit of not paying their workers. Including their tips. Next time you go there think about where the money actually goes. Not to the workers to get asked to work more and more constantly. Then get shorted more hours.
