Evangeline Trail Tour

The Annapolis Valley and upper Bay of Fundy of Nova Scotia's Evangeline Trail boast some of the best soils & climatic conditions in eastern Canada. .The region is recognized as the 3rd most important fruit growing area in Canada, and is noted for its orchards and vineyards. Yet the fertile soils and mild climate have not happened by chance, but are the result of an intimate relationship between earth history, geology,tides and ecology, a unique set of circumstances that were as important to the French Acadians settlers of the 1600s, as they are to the vineyards and wineries of the 21st century.

Join us on this unique adventure through time as we explore the evolution of this land, discover the history and culture of the Acadians and the story of Evangeline at Grand Pre National Historic Site, and sample the wines of the region at a local winery.
