Your wine glass called; it wants a glass of Bear River’s Tidal Bay 🥂

Come for the cheese. Stay to meet the cows 🐄🧀
A stop at That Dutchman’s Cheese Farm in Upper Economy is a whole experience. Wander the farm, meet the animals, take in the views, then head to the shop to choose which locally made cheese is coming home with you.
Consider your Cheese Trail stamp the bonus.
What are you reaching for first at the cheese counter?

Why pick one when you can try them all? 🍎
Crisp, dry, tart, fruity. A cider flight at Maritime Express Cider Co. is an easy way to find your favourite.
Made with 100% Annapolis Valley apples and poured right in downtown Kentville, it’s about as local as it gets.
Add this one to your next road trip and don’t forget your Good Cheer Trail stamp.

Consider this your sign to plan a road trip around cheese 🧀
In June, we hit the Nova Scotia Cheese Trail to meet the makers, taste our way through local cheeses, and get a closer look at the people and places behind them.
Turns out, the best part of a food road trip isn’t just what you eat. It’s getting to know where it came from.
