We had an absolutely wonderful time on the wine tour! The guide was amazing and super knowledgeable about the area and the vineyards and the history of the wineries! We would highly recommend this tour - the wine was great but the landscape views were also amazing!

The wines and the food were outstanding. We had JD as our guide he rocked! Funny and intriguing stories. The country in Halifax is beyond beautiful! All wineries were first class!

Join a small group and stop at three wine estates for guided wine tastings, where you learn about the manufacturing and terroir.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the wines, food, and stunning scenery, and that JD’s stories and energy helped make the day so memorable. It’s wonderful to hear the wineries made such a strong impression. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to JD.

Incognito grapes await discovery.

PriscaMary_C, Sep 2025
Abroad range of tastings and thorough explanations. The vineyards have modern tasting rooms. The locations are scenic, bring a camera. Just enough East Coast eccentricity on display to differentiate the region from other wine terroirs in the world. You don't know wine if you've never been to Nova Scotia's wine region.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the range of tastings, the modern yet scenic wineries, and the unique character that makes Nova Scotia’s wine region so special. We couldn’t agree more; it truly is a one-of-a-kind experience, and we’re delighted you captured that spirit.

Perfect day in wine...

Jonathon_P, Sep 2025
Perfect day in wine country. We even stopped to see some Acadian history. Three wineries, all with unique wine types.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear you had a perfect day in wine country and enjoyed the variety of wineries, along with the Acadian history along the way. We’d love to welcome you back for another tour in the future.

Tasting

Rick_S, Aug 2025
Our tour guide Paul was very informative. We visited 3 wineries. Each had their own unique character as a winery. The trip was strictly a tasting not a winery tour or educational.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Paul and that each winery’s unique character stood out. You’re right—our tours are designed to focus on tastings and the overall experience rather than in-depth winery tours. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and hope to welcome you back again in the future.

A great way to visit some...

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Best wine tour yet

Very informative. Great guide Colleen. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Learned a lot about the interesting wines of Nova Scotia. Don’t miss it. Skip the lobster roll

Great Winery Tour Company

john_c, Jun 2025
We enjoyed JD’s driving and all the information he provided on our tour. He was knowledgeable about the NS wine industry. Van was very comfortable and for us being a party of 2 JD got all 6 of us engaged within the trip. Wineries were fantastic. Very impressed with NS wineries after many trips to the Niagara Ontario region. Highly recommend this trip.

A must do tour!

Andrea_H, May 2025
This was an amazing tour and lunch! Our driver/host JD was great! Very knowledgeable, funny and personable! The wines were great and we learned a lot about the wine growing and making process specific to Nova Scotia. The wineries are beautiful and we had a great time with our small group of new friends!

Good tour!

Michael_H, Oct 2024
Good tour. The food choices were excellent and the guide was knowledgeable about local history and weaved it into the conversation. An alcoholic beverage or two would have really have gone a long way in improving this already good tour.

Paul was a great guide,...

Dan_R, Oct 2024
Paul was a great guide, storyteller and history guru! Very good lunch, beautiful scenery. White wine offerings aren't for everyone, but some were good!

Great way to spend a day!

Wendy_J, Sep 2024
Each winery had its great points! Lots of interesting info on the trip, learned more about white wines, since that is the variety most made here… sparkling,Nova 7 and Tidal to name a few. JD was our driver and he was great! I was solo, but had a fun group!

Wine tours a great way to spend a gorgeous day in the country

Lorna_C, Sep 2024
Oh my what a great way to spend a day visiting Nova Scotia, away from the city. Touring around the beutiful countryside, visiting three wineries, having a fantastic lunch, with a great group of fellow travelers. Totally recommend this tour. Thanks to the tour guide for getting us back to Halifax safely!

Highly Recommend!

Daphine_S, Sep 2024
Going on this trip, was the best decision! A very last minute, on the whim booking that turned out to be, one of the best times I’ve had in a really long time. JD was amazing, from the very beginning! It was also a pleasure having Colleen on board. All the guests had the best energy, and were equally satisfied, thanks to an excellently-planned tour.

Great Intro to Nova Scotia Area

Rory_J, Sep 2024
This was my first time to Nova Scotia. I booked this trip after researching excursions to do outside of the Halifax area. Although I was solo, the entire group I was with was friendly and hilarious. Made the wine tasting even more interesting. But more than anything, I want to give a “shout out” to Terri. She was a great driver and tour guide. She educated me on a lot about Nova Scotia and the wineries we visited.

Wonderful Wine Tour

Pamela_G, Aug 2024
Great experience! All 3 wineries were different and had their own charm. Lunch was fantastic! Our guide was very nice and knew the area.

Fun, informative, enjoyable!

Kate_W, Aug 2024
Our guides were so informative and fun. They were local and had interesting stories about the area and winery. I learned so much on the trip and they really added to it!

Awesome Escape

Gene_M, Aug 2024
On our 35th wedding anniversary. Wonderful day, weather, and lunch with a view was spectacular. Sandy our driver was awesome, knowledgeable, attentive to our needs and an excellent conversationalist. Very relaxing, and fun day. I would highly recommend this Escape and ask for Sandy. We would do this again in a heartbeat. ❤️

Excellent!

Phil, Aug 2024
Everything was excellent! Angela - our tour guide was awesome! She made you feel like we had known her for years, great information and conversation. The vineyards we visited were great and so was the wine. She went out of her way to drop us at the cruise port - which after a long day of drinking was much appreciated! Highly recommended!

Wine & Lunch near Halifax

britespot, Aug 2024
We were met at the appointed time by our guide, Angela, who whisked us away, after picking up a few other fellow travelers, to 3 different wineries. Each winery was distinctive, the 2nd one was where we had lunch. We had plenty of time to enjoy the receptions by the winery staff and learn about each one's history in the area as well as their variety of wines. Angela remained with us, which I thought was great, and everyone had an excellent time. I would even repeat this tour.

Excellent!

Susan_E, Aug 2024
Excellent day program with informative and helpful guide. Wines and lunch all very enjoyable. Thanks Angela!

A nice escape indeed.

Michael_M, Aug 2024
It was a great day. Lots of laughs, and a nice lunch to boot. Enjoyed our guide, Terri, she is a lot of fun, and knowledgeable too!

Laugh & sip tour

Lily_H, Aug 2024
We had the most amazing time on this tour of the three vineyards Each vineyard done an incredible job explaining the wines process and walking thru the vineyards itself was a pleasure JD was amazing driver/host/very informative Will definitely recommend this tour

Wonderful wine tour

Stephanie_L, Aug 2024
Our tour guide Terri was great. We were on a small bus tour and went to three vineyards. The selection was great. We learned about making wines in Nova Scotia. It's a great way to see parts of Nova Scotia and check out the wine making region. It's good for solo travelers, couples and friends.
