Van was very comfortable and for us being a party of 2 JD got all 6 of us engaged within the trip. Wineries were fantastic.

3.Private Wine Tours from Halifax

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 24 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $256

Private Halifax wine tour to the Annapolis Valley with door-to-door pickup, three tastings, and a host who tailors stops to your style.

“We had an excellent time with Stephanie on this wine tour. She picked us up right at the dock where our cruise ship dropped us off. She was great about communication before hand, making sure she catered our experience to our needs. We were able to do tastings at three wineries and stop for lunch at one of them. We had to make a slight change to our trip because the cruise ship had to leave Halifax a little earlier than originally planned but it was no problem for Stephanie to adjust our schedules. I would highly recommend this tour.”
