The best wines in the world seem to come from temperate, warm places like France, Italy, New Zealand, Australia, South America and California. It sometimes comes as a surprise to people, then, that Canada—often associated with cold, harsh weather patterns—has a booming wine industry that has been producing world-class vintages for decades. Canadian wine has garnered the country international recognition as a producer of fine, award-winning vino.
In the early 17th century, a group of French colonists ventured from France to the northern coastal regions of North America. In 1604, the group established the first permanent French settlement in North America at Port-Royal, in present-day Nova Scotia. The area eventually became known as Acadia, and the people and their decedents known as Acadians.
Nova
Scotia is known throughout the world for being a land that combines
rugged marine landscapes with proud heritage and urban sophistication. Nova
Scotia is the second smallest province in Canada, but what it lacks in geographical
area, it makes up for in rich history, abounding culture and maritime hospitality.
The province is divided into 12 different tourism sections, which are easily
navigated by following the primary scenic travelways, known as the region's
'Trail'.
The bays and waterways surrounding the Maritime provinces comprise nutrient-rich feeding grounds for an impressive variety of marine life. These conditions lure over a dozen species of migrating marine mammals to the world-renowned Bay of Fundy and the waters off Cape Breton. Human fascination with whales is best satisfied by an array of whale viewing opportunities provided by certified operators and tour guides.
