The Bear River location was absolutely beautiful. The aspect from the suite and the winery terrace over the valley to the slope beyond looks all the world like Burgundy. The suite is in the winery building, a converted 19th century dairy barn, and has lots of antique charm and beautifully aged wood. It was comfortably well equipped with a very comfortable bed and the hootingbofborls at night. Hosts Darren and Su were very hospitable without being at all intrusive, giving an informative tour of the winery and vineyard followed by a tasting of their delicious wines. A great base to explore the surrounding region and attractions like Port Royal, Digby, and Annapolis Royal.

This was a beautiful place to relax in peace and quiet! A fantastic view, Darren and Sue are excellent hosts and the wine is spectacular! Take them up on the offer for the tour, they are passionate about their vineyard and their wine. You can't beat a glass of wine under the Oak Tree in the center of the vineyard.

Bear River Vineyard and Winery is another hidden treasure and Nova Scotia gem. Darren and Sue are very welcoming host snd hostess that mafe you feel immediately at home. The grounds were very enchanting and we had the freedom to enjoy every inch of this property. Our accomdations embodied warmth, character, and charm. Our entire weekend was serene and rejuvenating and exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect blend of relaxation and inspiration. A private tour by Darren and complimentary bottle of wine was an added bonus. Bear River itself is small but quaint. The people so friendly. We took day trips to Digby and the Annapolus Royal both offering great food, wonderful people and lots to see and do. It is a must stop and explore. Our sincerest thanks to Darren and Sue for an ecceptional getaway weekend. We will definitely return to this little NS gem.

Tranquility

A beautiful perch on the too of a steep valley with stunning views of the vineyard cascading down the valley slope. So lovely to sit out witnessing the sunset and hearing silence intermingled with bird calls. The room was spacious, well appointed and beautiful oak details. The bathroom was delightfully spacious! The old barn/winerey set up was tastefully designed. A lovely stay in Bear River!

Relaxing Hideaway

Darren & Su were fantastic hosts!!! The guided tour was very informative. The chance to see a couple whose hearts directed them into the year round business of winemaking is endearing. The room was spotless. They were responsive to our questions and requests. Nothing quite like being able to order pizza and watch the sunset with a bottle of wine.

More than expected

Bear River Winery was an amazing getaway. The room had all the amenities we needed, the view was unmatched, the wine was better than the larger wineries in NS, and Darren was a fabulous host! There are many unique features to this winery I wasn’t aware of until Darren gave us a tour. And the town of Bear River was a lovely place too. I highly recommend a stay at Bear River Winery. We will be back next year!

Peaceful stay at a beautiful small winery.

Bear Creek Vineyard was perfect for a short stay in the Digby - Annapolis Royal area. We were greeted by our host Daren as though we were old friends and received a personal tour of this unique, charming winery. Our tasting experience on the terrace overlooking the beautiful vineyard and valley was heavenly. Our guest room was very clean, comfortable and nicely appointed. I would recommend this as a great couple’s getaway. Also, the wine is very good too!
