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

Discover the charm of Wolfville with me! Wolfville is an historic site, with Acadian & Mi'kmaw history intertwined with modern day shopping. Tour stops can include UNESCO World Heritage site of Grand Pre, where we can take in the stunning views & history. Wolfville is also the home of Acadia University, founded in 1838, which displays stunning old architecture to take in. On this tour, you'll get to marvel at the world's highest tides on the Wolfville Waterfront and have the chance to discover diverse shopping venues, from outdoor stores, to charming clothing boutiques & even an incredible cheese shop. Options will be discussed based on your preferences. We'll have a tasting at one of the wineries near the town of Wolfville & have lunch at a second winery - the options are Lightfoot & Wolfville, Mercator Vineyards & Domaine de Grand Pre Winery and will be chosen based on your favourite wine styles! We'll also visit a local cidery which produces award winning cider from our Nova Scotia apples!
