Enjoying mouth-watering local food is easy in the Annapolis Valley. Whatever your food preferences, you'll find them here—from fine dining to food carts, and from Hall's Harbour lobster to farm-fresh produce. Many restaurants build their specialties around fresh local ingredients. Don't forget to visit our world-class wineries, microbreweries, cideries and distilleries.

Farmers' markets

Our weekly farmers' markets are a food lover's dream:

  • Wolfville Farmers' Market, with the option to order online through WFM2Go. There's a market store as well.
  • Kentville Farmers' Market
  • Avon Community Farmers' Market, Windsor
  • Annapolis Royal Farmers' and Traders Market
  • North Mountain Market, Harbourville
  • Hants County Exhibition (Thursday Market), Windsor

Commercial farm markets, open daily, dot the landscape. They feature not only their own fruit, vegetables and baking but also a wide selection of goods from local producers and artisans. In the fall season, several of them offer family activities such as apple u-picks, pumpkin-decorating contests, and even elaborate corn mazes.

Restaurants

A café breakfast with locally roasted, fair trade coffee and warm-from-the-oven blueberry muffins. A quick bite of lunch—maybe a savoury crepe or a lobster roll? Or an evening of fine dining on locally raised beef, pork or chicken. The Annapolis Valley has it all including many vegetarian options, and our fresh-caught seafood is outstanding.

Start your culinary exploration with Taste of Nova Scotia's Eat, Drink, and Explore the Bay of Fundy and Annapolis Valley.

Several of our vineyards have award-winning indoor and outdoor restaurants. Be sure to try the European-style Le Caveau at Domaine de Grand Pré, Crush Pad Bistro at Luckett Vineyards with its spectacular view, and the open-air restaurant at Lightfoot and Wolfville.

Wineries

The Annapolis Valley is the centre of Atlantic Canada's wine region, and our wines win national and international awards. In 2010, Nova Scotia launched its own wine appellation. Known as Tidal Bay, the appellation showcases a vibrant and refreshing white wine compatible with our coastal terroir along the Bay of Fundy.

We have 12 wineries in the eastern end of the Valley, most near Wolfville, and 3 in the west near Bear River. Our climate and soil conditions favour crisp whites and satisfying reds. We're growing an international reputation for traditional-method sparkling wines that compare favourably with those of the Champagne region of France. The Wolfville Magic Winery Bus takes you on a double-decker hop-on, hop-off excursion to visit five local wineries.

Microbreweries, cideries and distilleries

Microbreweries, cideries and distilleries in Nova Scotia are creating top-quality products, often with superb local ingredients. You'll find them on the Craft Beer, Cider and Spirits Map for the Annapolis Valley.

We acknowledge that we are in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People.  This territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) People first signed with the British Crown in 1725.  The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

We also acknowledge that people of African descent have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years, and we honour and offer gratitude to those ancestors of African descent who came before us to this land.
