Dolce Tempo Journey from the Bay of Fundy to Historic Lunenburg
One of Earth's most welcoming places. Where folks invite you to linger awhile. Rocky shores with sweeping coastal views await. Local wines and unbelievably fresh produce and seafood reveal their harvesters' love of the land and ocean. Can a weeklong trip add years to your life? In Nova Scotia, down trails less traveled, it's easy to believe it.
Highlights
- Country roads and coastal lanes make for idyllic walking, with captivating moments in colorful fishing villages, amid dramatic seascapes and along the forested shore of the wild Bay of Fundy
- There’s no place quite like Nova Scotia, known for friendly locals who become instant friends, a seafaring history that still feels ever so alive, and iconic sea stacks and basalt pinnacles
- Relax in a registered historic hotel and an elegant retreat located minutes from downtown in World-Heritage Lunenburg
- Discover a slow-food movement that rivals the world’s most renowned and enjoy dinners like fresh-caught lobster and elevated cuisine paired with crisp Nova Scotian white wines
