I highly suggest taking a lazy drive through Wolfville and the Valley on a nice day in Autumn. The vibrant
Fox Hill Cheese House
Fox Hill Cheese House is never a disappointment for cheese. They sell at the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market and you can buy it on-site. They sell not only their cheese on-site, but as well other companies.

Grand Pre Winery
The store for the Grand Pre winery is gorgeous. They have taste testing available for the wines before you buy them. They not only sell wine, but other wine accessories as well. The Pomme d'Or is always a fall-back for me; it's sweet and not overbearing.

Moulin Rouge
The Moulin Rouge is a sweet but decent wine. It would make a great Sangria. The only downside I had with it is that at the bottom it had solids floating about.
Sparkling Peach
This was a very delightful sparkling wine. I was very happy that it wasn't overly sweet. It had a delicious taste of peach without tasting like peach drink. I mixed in rose syrup to make a sparkling rose drink; it was delicious! It mixes very well with other flavors.
Sparkling Blueberry
I love blueberries and I loved this wine. It was fantastic. I didn't try meddling other flavors in with it; it held its own very well
Sparkling Maple
The Sparkling Maple would have been better as a desert wine. It tasted too much like maple syrup to be really enjoyed as a sparkling wine.
Acadia Blanc
This was the only wine I didn't like. It had distinct fruit flavors but just didn't taste too well mixed together. To top it off, I came down with a massive headache after drinking one glass the two times I tried it.
