With your Good Cheer Trail Passport in hand you’ll be able to chart you own route as you taste your way through Nova Scotia. Trail participants will offer an exciting mix of tours, tastings and special events. Whether you’re interested in trying the latest vintage of Tidal Bay, meeting an award winning brewmaster or sampling a single malt whisky straight from the barrel, the Good Cheer Trail has you covered.

History

Samuel de Champlain started the Order of Good Cheer in Port Royal, Nova Scotia in 1606. It is considered the oldest social club in North America. The purpose was to provide good food, drink and good times for the men during colonization. The Nova Scotia Good Cheer Trail continues that long tradition of hospitality and pride for the bounty of Nova Scotia.

Explore Responsibly

Good Cheer Trail explorers are encouraged to enjoy the trail responsibly with a designated driver, by booking an organized tour through Grape Escapes or Go North Tours or by hopping on the Wolfville Magic Winery Bus.

Launch

Launching in partnership with Nova Scotia Tourism Agency (NSTA), Atlantic Provinces Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and Taste of Nova Scotia, the trail will officially kick-off on June 1, 2015. www.GoodCheerTrail.com
