Hi! I'm Stephanie, a proud Nova Scotia enthusiast and wine lover, as well as your tasting guide, driver & all around coordinator. With over five years in the Nova Scotia wine industry, I’m thrilled to share my passion with you on tour—and get to know you along the way! My journey began on the waters of Halifax Harbour, where I introduced guests to our incredible local wines from aboard a sailboat, showcasing the city from a whole new perspective. Since then, my love for Nova Scotia and all things local has only grown. I bring this enthusiasm to every tour—ensuring your coffee, snacks, meals, and wines come from trusted local producers. Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in wine education, from studying wine-making and viticulture, to working hands-on in vineyards and cellars across the province. I’ve guided guests through the vines, led tastings on land and water, and tasted a lot of wine—all so I can help you discover the best the Annapolis Valley has to offer. Whether you're new to wine or a seasoned taster, I'm here to make your tour fun, relaxed, and unforgettable.

Overview of your Halifax tour

Embark on a journey of Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley on a private tour just outside Halifax. As I strive for in all of my tours, I want to provide you with an unforgettable experience, and a chance to explore exquisite wineries with expert guidance. I'd be happy to accommodate your favorite kinds of wine for your tastings & make sure to bring you to the best places to do so. However if wine isn't your preference, I could adapt to your personal taste & take you to a local brewery, cidery or distillery instead! Just let me know & I'd be happy to customize this tour. The wineries in the Annapolis Valley are incredible though: they offer a delicious, personal experience & stunning views. They've actually won national & international awards. On this tour, you'll learn of - & taste! - the only wine appellation in North America, Tidal Bay. I'd love to guide you exploring a vineyard, providing you an in-depth breakdown of Nova Scotia's growing season, & take lovely photos of you to commemorate your visit.

Your Halifax tour itinerary

-I will pick you up at our pre-determined location and head to the first of the 3 wineries we'll be visiting. -As we drive on, I will contextualize you on some of Nova Scotia's history & culture, and you'll even be able to get a glimpse of the highest tides in the world along our route! -On arrival to our first winery, you'll enjoy a tasting of 3 wines. -After the tasting, I will take you on a guided visit to the vineyard, but of course you'll have time to explore on your own. -At our second stop, you will be able to enjoy a leisurely lunch, accompanied by a glass of wine or further variety at your request, of course. -Then at our third winery, you'll have a third tasting of 3 more wines, and again have the option of being led on a guided visit by me or simply opt to walk around freely. -And to end the day, we will depart back to Halifax for the end of our tour, where you'll be dropped off at an agreed location.
