Wineries, Cideries, Craft Brewers and Distilleries
There is a lot of tasting to do! There are currently twelve Wineries, five Craft Breweries, two Cideries and one Distillery in and around the Wolfville area, many of which have won awards.
Each has their own distinctive character and many of them serve a variety of meals inside or on their patios. Most are within a 10 – 20 minute drive.
The history of the Acadian Settlers in Grand Pré
The viewpoint overlooking the landscape of Grand Pré where the Acadians began settling in the 1680’s is a few minutes walk through the vineyards from our B&B. A large part of the Minas Basin is also visible from the viewpoint, stretching from Parrsborough up to the Five Islands Provincial Park.
The Acadian Interpretive Centre dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of the Acadians is a five minute drive away.
In 2012, UNESCO declared 1300 hectares of the Grand Pré Culteral Landscape a World Heritage Site, as a tribute to the importance of the history of the Acadian Settlers.
