Slightly disappointing.
We visited three vineyards. We had lunch at the first vineyard, the food was good, the wine was not, which was disappointing for a wine tour. The next stop was much more enjoyable. Their wine was very good and we got a lovely tour of the property. The last vineyard we visited was very good as well. Great views and very good wine. Robin, our tour guide for the day was very pleasant. He gave us a good (but long) intro into wines. Suggestions moving forward: find a replacement for the first vineyard. Shorten the time between stops, we had a lot of time to kill at both the first and second stops.

Wine in Nova Scotia? Why not! You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Great day wine tasting with a terrific, personable guide. Robin was engaging, knowledgeable & it was his 65th birthday on the day of my tour. His family surprised him & we all had a great time. Wonderful example of Nova Scotia friendliness. The 3 wine estates were gorgeous, informative & all three had their own unique character. I learned a lot about the east coast wine industry.

Fantastic winery tour day!
Our guide Robin was an extremely knowledgeable sommelier who also provided interesting history facts about Halifax and the Annapolis Valkey. Our driver was also fun and informative. The wineries were beautiful, the staff were friendly and fun, and lunch was fantastic! A great day that went by fast!

Fun wine tour
Overall the tour was good. Rick was friendly & knowledgeable. It was a small group, so it was easy to get to know the other people.
The driver was a super nice person, but she was extremely nervous about driving in the rain. Her driving was fair at best. She was unsure of herself.
Lunch was excellent!
