Lunenburg’s German Flavours

Experience the rich German heritage of UNESCO Old Town Lunenburg through flavours on this 2-night getaway.

Indulge in the flavourful legacy left by Lunenburg’s early German immigrants. These settlers not only shaped the town’s name, but also brought traditions and recipes that live on today.

Begin your adventure at the charming River Ridge Lodge, nestled just outside Mahone Bay. This cozy, riverfront inn provides the perfect base to explore the area, including nearby Lunenburg and the Rum Runners Trail. Have fun discovering the trail by bike or snowshoes and toast local flavours at Saltbox Brewing Company.

After a day of exploring Lunenburg, head to the historic Bluenose Lodge to savour chef-prepared, sustainably caught seafood and authentic German schnitzel.

Package Includes:

• 2-night stay at River Ridge Lodge in a Deluxe Queen, King or 2-bedroom Suite
