Happy First Week of Summer!

Summer is officially here and we want you to discover something new, plan your next adventure, and connect with the incredible Taste of Nova Scotia members who make our province so special. From quaint evening events and wine tastings to pop-up dinners and coastal escapes, we’re serving up fresh ideas to help you eat, sip, and explore your way through Nova Scotia.

Benjamin Bridge invites you to personalize your glass of Wild Rock Sangria. Join them on Friday, June 20, from 3 to 6 p.m at the winery. Step into the private tasting room to choose from ripe citrus slices, juicy berries, and sparkling water. Then, take your creation to the wine terrace to enjoy. For an extra twist, head to the terrace on Saturday and Sunday to cool off with their refreshing sangria slushies.

Tidal Bay Bash- Jost Vineyards & Seagrape Cafe

Mark your calendars and raise a glass — the Tidal Bay Wine Bash is back at Jost Vineyards & Seagrape Cafe on June 28 from 1–5 p.m.! Celebrate Nova Scotia’s signature white wine with an unforgettable afternoon of coastal charm, live music, and, of course, crisp, refreshing glasses of Tidal Bay.


Summer Adventure Snacks – Made with Local

Looking for a tasty local snack to fuel your summer adventures? Whether you’re hiking the Highlands, road-tripping the South Shore, or soaking up sun at the beach, Made with Local bars are the ultimate locally-crafted companion. They’re gluten-free, sweetened only with Nova Scotian honey, and feature homegrown fruits.


Support Local

By eating out at local restaurants, you’re not only supporting those restaurants but also the local producers and suppliers they purchase from. When you support local, more of your money stays in the province and circulates back through Nova Scotia’s economy.
