There are numerous accommodation options in South West Nova Scotia, from historic bed and breakfast establishments in one of many quaint villages or towns in the region to cozy cottages overlooking the ocean or the Bay of Fundy.
The Yarmouth and Digby ferries provide an important transportation link to the area via Bar Harbour and Portland, Maine and St. John, New Brunswick; and of course, the fast 100 series highways in Nova Scotia make the drive from the Stanfield International Airport in Halifax quick and accessible.
Nova Scotia wines are among the best in Canada and continue to win international tasting awards year after year. Established wineries like Jost Vineyards in Malagash and Grand Pre Wines near Wolfville continue to dominate wine sales in the province, while lesser known farmgate wineries and vineyards have given rise to a new breed of wine makers and grape varieties in the region.

Among the new vineyard and wine producing regions in Nova Scotia is Bear River. Known as the ‘Switzerland of Nova Scotia’, the sunny slopes and deep valleys of this picturesque little town attract more than seasonal visitors. These glacial slopes are soil rich and well-drained and receive more than their fair share sun – perfect conditions for several grape varieties including pinot noir, pinot gris, new york Muscat and others.

Local vineyards are open for tours during the summer months and soon two of the local establishments will open retail shops in the village – Arcadie House Vineyards and Bear River Vineyards.
