We welcome winter. When the forecast calls for colder, that’s when we turn up the heat on fun – indoors and out. Nova Scotia’s moderate temperatures create the perfect climate for enjoying the great outdoors twelve months of the year.
From snowshoeing to surfing to seeing bald eagles feeding, the outdoor action is at its finest. And whether your preferred indoor sport is poker or shoe-shopping, we’ve got a winter package for that too.
Take a tour of the winter action waiting for you from wining and dining to slipping and sliding.

 | Whether you can quote Shakespeare or just the Simpsons version of Hamlet, the cultural offerings paired with mid-winter food and wine festivals like the province-wide Ice Wine Festival are the perfect complement to a romantic getaway. Experience ice-wines with a winter vineyard tour by day then head to a red hot restaurant for dinner before a show. Sounds like love to us. |

 | Our winter waves are just the beginning for a rollercoaster of adventure in the winter months. Take a surf lesson on the South Shore then head for the hills – like Martock, Wentworth, Ben Eion or Cape Smokey and strap on the skis. Throw in a day of dog-sledding, snowshoeing, eagle-watching or sleigh riding and you’ve done winter up right. |

The best shopping in the east offers up boutiques and eclectic shops in extraordinary retail districts like Spring Garden Road, Argyle and Barrington Streets and the Hydrostone.
