There are a lot of people behind a piece of local cheese 🧀
At Fox Hill Cheese House, what happens on the farm is only part of the story. There are the local retailers who put their products on the shelf, the employees who keep things moving, and the communities that have supported them along the way.
Because buying local food doesn’t just connect you to what’s on your plate. It connects you to the people who made it possible.
Here’s to the people and partnerships along the Cheese Trail.

Wolfville has changed a lot since 1995. Paddy’s has been brewing beer through all of it 🍻
Nearly three decades later, it’s still a local staple, pouring everything from the crowd-favourite Celtic Cream Ale to Blueberry Ale, malty Raven Ale and juicy TBA IPA.
So next time you’re in Wolfville, pull up a seat, grab a pint and raise a glass to a little piece of Valley beer history.

There’s more to a great winery experience than what’s in your glass 🍷
At Grand Pré Winery, service means more than just a warm welcome. It’s knowing your guests, reading the room and making the experience feel right for the person in front of you.
In 2024, that approach earned the team Taste of Nova Scotia’s Service of the Year Award - a pretty special recognition for a team that takes so much pride in what they do.
Because when the people behind the experience genuinely care about the place, the guests and each other, you can feel it ✨

Your lunch break called. It wants a lobster roll. 🦞
Whether you’re escaping the office for an hour or spending the day exploring downtown Halifax, Waterfront Warehouse is making a pretty convincing case for a proper sit-down lunch.
Fresh lobster, mayo and celery piled into a lobster roll, plus a whole menu of East Coast seafood if you’re making an afternoon of it.
For the locals: consider this your sign to actually take your lunch break.
For the visitors: add it to the Halifax food itinerary.
And for everyone: don’t forget the Lobster Trail stamp.

The hardest part is deciding which bottle comes home with you 👀
Gin person? Rum? Whisky? Or are you walking out with the liqueur you absolutely did not plan on buying?
At Ironworks Distillery in Lunenburg, the shelves are full of small-batch spirits made with local ingredients, which makes “just picking one” a little ambitious.
Our advice? Try a few, find your favourite, then grab a Good Cheer Trail stamp while you’re at it.
What are you reaching for first: gin, rum, whisky or liqueur?
