Did you know that Bear River is considered the birthplace of wine in Nova Scotia?

In 1611, just five years after the founding of The Order of Good Cheer, Louis Hebert, an apothecary at The Habitation in Port Royal, planted a hillside vineyard along Bear River.

This pioneering act helped lay the groundwork for one of the oldest new-world wine-growing regions, anchoring Nova Scotia’s reputation for quality wine making that continues to this day.

Today, the Bear River area is home to two award-winning wineries that carry on this tradition of celebrating local bounty. Visitors can learn about Nova Scotia’s 400-year-long food and drink heritage, stroll through rolling vineyards, and enjoy innovative wine making practices—including the province’s only gravity-fed winery.

Raise a glass to the long lineage of feast and friendship that began with The Order of Good Cheer, and discover how this spirit of celebration continues to shape Nova Scotia’s vibrant wine scene.

Why is Digby the Scallop Capital of the World?

Scallops were first commercially harvested in Digby in the 1920's and we became pioneers at it. We are known for having the largest scallop fleet, one that is prominently displayed when you visit our waterfront.

Perhaps the biggest reason why we're the Scallop Capital of the World though, is because of the Bay of Fundy itself.

Our waters are prime for scallops. The high tides, cold ocean temperatures and nutrient dense waters of the Bay of Fundy create the perfect environment for our large, juicy, and tasty scallops.

Not to mention, it's kind of our thing now. So we tend to do them very well!

How do you like your scallops? Pan seared? Deep fried? Right out of the shell?

Want to see something 200 million years in the making?

Balancing Rock, also known as Nature’s Time Post, is a 20 foot high basalt rock formation that was created millions of years ago.

Legend has it that back in the day, fishermen would try to use their mighty boats to yank it down. Luckily or us, no one ever did.

Balancing Rock is at the end of a 30 minute hike through the beautiful landscape of Long Island.

At the end of it, you are also treated to beautiful views of St. Mary’s Bay.
