Your road trip gains traction today as you’ll check out of your Halifax hotel and say goodbye to this special sliver of Nova Scotia. You won’t be leaving the province quite yet, however, but will, instead, switch coasts to make your way into the Annapolis Valley, where agricultural communities meet the world’s highest tides. Here, you’ll visit the Grand-Pré National Historic Site, a UNESCO designation that interprets Acadian settlement and the engineered dykelands that shaped this landscape. From here, you’ll continue in your journey, witnessing some of the Fundy area's best viewpoints. Then, as you’re now in Nova Scotia’s wine country, you’ll have plenty of chances to check out an assortment of local wineries known for producing top-tier Tidal Bay wines. Why not settle in for a tasting or, better yet, pick up a bottle as a hyper-local souvenir? Whenever you’re ready, you’ll finish the day’s journey in Wolfville, where you’ll check in to your next hotel. Tonight you’re on your own to explore this small town, where farm culture, farm-to-table food, and the pull of the nearby coast intermingle.
