  • After breakfast, we'll make our way to the Annapolis Valley. The Annapolis Valley area is rich in agriculture … so no great surprise that it is a fabulous destination for experiencing a ‘taste of Nova Scotia’. From the slow food movement at The Port Gastropub in Port Williams to the sensational seasonal temptations at The Tempest Restaurant to handpicking the tastiest Honeycrisp apple at Noggins Farm Corner … the options are endless! A hard apple cider & wine tasting at Domain de Grand Pre Vineyard, cheese & gelato at Foxhill Cheese Farm and unique herbs and fruit infused jellies, vinegars and liqueurs at Tangled Garden round out the day in the rich valley region.

  • Cross the interior of the province to the South Shore, affectionately known as the Lighthouse Route. This area of the province is rich in seafaring history. Touch sealife at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic … walk up an appetite on the docks of Lunenburg and step on the schooners of yesterday … sample seafaring delights at Fleur de Sel. This afternoon, we'll continue to explore the Lighthouse Route by crossing the LaHave River on a cable ferry enroute to White Point Beach Resort for an afternoon of fall harvest delights, including Nova Scotia apple sampling, off-the-vine tasting and a Chef's Table Dinner where the Nova Scotia Apples will be evident throughout the meal!
