The Nova Scotia Fall Wine Festival is just around the corner and there are some great ways to enjoy the festival and stretch the summer fun even longer!
The Perfect Pairings Progressive Dinner and Nova Scotia Wine Tour is back for a third time for one date only on September 18th. Go North Tours presents an educational evening of pairing Nova Scotia food and wine while enjoying a private winery tour and a sumptuous three course meal at three wineries in the Annapolis Valley.
On Sunday, August 22 from 10 am to 3 pm, come out to the Dartmouth Incredible Picnic at Alderney Landing for all kinds of great food. Local food will be available from numerous vendors, including Taste members: jane’s on the common, Just Us! and our own Taste of Nova Scotia booth.
Stay and enjoy the festivities or get your picnic fixings and hitch a ride on the Sandcastle Festival Express bus from the picnic to Clam Harbour ($2.00 one way or $4 round trip)!

Guest Post by White Point Beach Resort
White Point is known for it’s magnificent white sand beach, the bunnies and yes, the food prepared by Executive Chef Alan Crosby and his team and served up by Sommelier Dan Tanner and his dining room team. Both hit the streets, or at least the floor of the Bridgewater location of the Nova Scotia Liquor Corportation on Thursday Aug. 12th.
The NSLC and Taste of Nova Scotia invited us to pair up a little White Point with wines from Argentina to showcase how well food & wine go together. From 4 – 7pm, it was a tasting festival for sure as the aromas filled the store and carried into the parking lot! So what were were sampling you ask…. more…
