Across great green ďŹ elds and valleys, I travelled for this ale...

SET FORTH ON CANADA’S FIRST WINERY, CRAFT BREWERY, DISTILLERY AND CIDERY TRAIL. Discover new favourites as you explore the Nova Scotia Good Cheer Trail. Sample locally produced wine, beer and spirits from 49 locations across the province. Meet passionate Nova Scotian artisans and taste perfectly paired local cuisine with your drink. From Yarmouth to Cape Breton, the trail weaves through stunning landscapes, heritage sites, beaches, farmlands and cities.

We invite you to hit the trail, raise a glass, and feed your passion with the very best sights, sounds and tastes that Nova Scotia has to offer.

NOVA SCOTIA IS NO STRANGER TO GOOD CHEER The Good Cheer Trail celebrates Nova Scotia’s rich culinary history dating back to 1606, when Samuel de Champlain established the Order of Good Cheer in Port-Royal.

As possibly one of the first gastronomic societies in North America, the Order of Good Cheer raised the spirits of early settlers and set the tone for centuries of good Nova Scotian food, drink and fun.

We’re proud to carry on Champlain’s legacy with the Nova Scotia Good Cheer Trail – a culinary adventure unlike any other!
