1. Oaklawn Farm Zoo
Just a two hour drive from Halifax that happens to take you through the picturesque valley region including perfect coffee stops (Just Us museum in Wolfville) and lunch breaks (Port Pub in Port Williams), Oaklawn Farm Zoo is one part wildlife park,…More »
2. Grand Pré National Historic Site
You know when you go visit something as an apathetic teenager and couldn't even begin to understand why people might find something like the Grand Pré National Historic Site interesting?
Well, that long-lasting assumption was shattered yesterday when…More »
3. The Port Pub
If The Port Pub were located within the HRM, it would be the kind of place where hundreds would wait in line just to get their chance to enjoy the incredible menu and welcoming service. But...since it's not...all you need to do is make the quick…More »
4. Fox Hill Cheese House
Just a quick drive from Wolfville - even quicker if you're smart and grab a bite to eat at the Port Pub in Port Williams en route - you'll find a charming farmhouse filled with locally made cheeses, milks, and gelato that you might recognize from…More »
5. Just Us Coffeehouse
This beautiful building just off the highway to the valley is almost the perfect distance from the city - you'll get there just around the time that you think you're going to need another hit of caffeine and Just Us can certainly deliver with its…More »
6. The Tin Pan Bakery and Bistro
Y'all ain't even ready to hear what I had for breakfast this morning: an eggs benny sandwich with Hollandaise dipping sauce and a shredded potato pancake.
YEAH. I said it. It's your standard Eggs Benny sandwiched between two thick slices of homemade…More »
7. Gaspereau Vineyards
A lovely little slice of wine country in the Anapolis Valley!
Just another set of red barns from a distance, you could easily drive by without realizing that the insides are packed with gorgeous local wines, modern interior design, and friendly staff…More »
8. Luckett Vineyards
The Pete's Frootique empire grows!
We stopped by the Luckett Vineyards on our own makeshift winery tour through the Gaspereau Valley recently and was charmed by the modern, quirky, yet upscale feel of the place.
Perfect example: there's a big red…More »
9. Domaine de Grand Pré
After many envious drive-bys of the Grand Pré Winery without ever being able to stop and visit, I finally made a point of checking out their Thursday Summer Martini Night. These special events are hosted every Thursday in July and August starting at…More »
10. Paddy's Brewpub & Rosie's Restaurant
I'm afraid to admit this, but Paddy's does kind of seem like the place where this sort of thing is okay:
Paddy's was an ill-fated, unplanned second stop on a night that accidentally became a makeshift pub crawl through Wolfville and Port Williams. My…More »
11. Elderkin's Farm Market
Elderkin's is never an intentional stop on my annual apple-picking trip to the valley, but I don't know that I've ever made the trek to Wolfville without visiting this farm and U-Pick. It's just minutes away from the downtown and is the perfect stop…More »
12. Noggins Corner Farm
As soon as fall hits Nova Scotia, I can't get Noggins out of my noggin. With a renowned corn maze that changes up every single year, a haunted house, wagon rides, fresh produce, playgrounds, kids games, and a cute canteen, this place is a must-visit…More »
13. Hennigar's Farm Market
Another gem conveniently tucked away just off the main drag through Wolfville! Keep your eyes pealed for oversized vegetables or bails of hay decorated as jack-o-lanterns and you've made it!
This winding market brings together the best of local…More »
