Harvest season in Nova Scotia is a favourite time of year, especially at one of our 20+ wineries. Vineyards are seemingly bursting with grapes on the vines, waiting to be picked any day. Colourful fall foliage provides the perfect backdrop for sipping Tidal Bay on cozy patios.

The Sea of Approval

Nova Scotia is Canada’s ocean playground known for its impeccably fresh seafood and a distinct culinary tradition. The North Atlantic’s rich waters supply the herring, cod, halibut, mackerel, oysters, mussels that regularly appear in the region’s culinary historical record, often in the context of some sort of chowder. Fish and shellfish helped sustain the early French colonists at Port-Royal, and the seafood also nourished the native Mi’kmaw people.

Everyone knows that Nova Scotia is world-famous for our lobster and that it is a must-try while visiting. But, did you know about the other delicious foods worth trying during your visit?
