Not sure why I didn't find this wine tour on my first search for Halifax tours but happy it showed up when I searched later. The wine country is really pretty, the wine tasty, and we learned we like sweeter wines. Stephanie did a great job of coordinating the tour so that we knew exactly where to meet her at the port. Her background in wine was very helpful in explaining the Halifax wine industry. The drive was beautiful and the conversation great. We had seen Peggys Cove so were happy to find something less touristy. Recommend this tour!

I booked w Stephanie for Girls wine tour. She picked us up at our Airbnb in Wolfville, chatted with us like we were old friends. We learned a lot and had a blast. Highly recommend.
We had the BEST time exploring the Halifax, Nova Scotia wine scene. Stephanie is an excellent tour guide with so much information about both the history and interesting things in the area. She is an expert when it comes to wine and working on obtaining her sommeliers certification. She picked us up at the cruise port with our favorite coffee drinks ready for the ride to the first vineyard , where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. All three vineyards were gorgeous and the wines are so good. We will definitely book another tour with Stephanie the next time we visit Halifax. One of the best experiences we have had.
Wow thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the visit and I hope to see you again soon!🥂
Stephanie was incredible. She was very knowledgeable about the area and its wineries. She set a great pace for our day and I loved that she joined us for lunch. Overall this was a fabulous day!
Thank you so very much for your kind words! I'm so glad you joined me on tour!
An up and coming wine region, Nova Scotia is a beautiful landscape and hidden gem. Owner/guide Stephanie is thoroughly versed in all things wine, and truly an expert in the local viticulture. Inport Halifax for a day, Stephanie picked us up at the cruise terminal and drove about an hour to Wolfville, a picturesque town near the Bay of Fundy. We tasted at 3 excellent wineries in the Annapolis Valley, and had an incredible lunch at Le Caveau at the Grand Pre Estate. We had a great day and highly recommend Wine & Vine for an unforgettable experience!
I'm so happy you enjoyed your experience, it was lovely getting to know you, and show you around Wolfville and the Annapolis Valley!
Stephanie is fantastic, knowledgable and fun! From beginning to end we felt safe, had fun and learned alot of the wine in Nova Scotia. Worth every penny!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I love showing people our incredible region.
We had a fabulous day with Wine and Vine. Stephanie is an amazing host and guide. She’s so knowledgeable and interesting and is lovely to spend the day with. She took us to Benjamin Bridge for their Bubbles and Bites tasting and then to Grand Pre for more great wine. From the moment we were picked up until drop off, we were treated to excellent hospitality and a first class tour. I highly recommend Wine and Vine Tours.
Hi Sarah! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself.
We had a great time. Stephanie was there to meet us right on time. We went to three wineries. We had a great lunch at the second winery. The tastings were very good. We didn’t kill rushed at all. Everything was very nice.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Our wine and Lobster experience was amazing from beginning to end! Stephanie was wonderful! Her attention to detail was greatly appreciated as she accommodated not only our various dietary restrictions in the drinks and snacks she provided, but also in our wine preferences and the places we wanted to see. The whole thing was impeccably organized and scheduled. Stephanie was very knowledgeable of the wine industry and the region and gracefully answered our many many questions. Definitely the highlight of our visitor's trip!
I'm so glad you had such a great experience!
Our Tour Guide Stephanie did a great job! She was very informative about the history of the entire region, as well as being an expert on the wines that we sampled. The entire family had a wonderful experience.
Hi Eddie, it was my pleasure showing you and your family around!
