Bear River Vineyards

Welcome to Bear River Vineyards! Housed within our winery is a well appointed guest room, offering all the amenities needed for a relaxing experience. It includes a queen bed, a beautiful ensuite with heated flooring, and is equipped with a compact fridge and microwave. Free WiFi and satellite TV also included.
Comes complete with a stunning view of the vineyard and, of course, a complimentary bottle of our wine. We are the only winery in Nova Scotia offering the experience of staying in the winery, not just on the property, and we include a private tour and tasting with your visit.
Guests are also welcome to enjoy the property at their leisure. Beyond the 5 acre vineyard our property extends to the river, where we have 400 feet of water front. Almost as picturesque as the view of the vineyard!
Open seasonally from mid-June to mid-September.

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!

Great experience
There's nothing not to love about Bear River Vineyards. The winery is very scenic and tucked into an interesting spot that is off the beaten track and yet very close to many spots worth touring. Our hosts were gracious and accommodating an have created lovely wines. The accommodations are very comfortable and cozy. Loved having the winery to ourselves after the tasting room closed.

Beautiful room with a view
We totally enjoyed our two night stay! The room was tastefully decorated, clean and well equipped. The view of the grape orchard is spectacular and there are beautiful chairs to sit and enjoy the view. We didn’t get a chance to experience a wine tasting due to our schedule but we will most definitely be back. Very enjoyable stay!

Excellent cozy accommodations!
Wonderful place to stay… Darren and Susan are super friendly hosts who made us feel right at home. Convenient parking and extremely clean accommodations with a comfortable bed and good shower. Close to the little town of Bear River, and only about 20 minute ride to the quaint little town of Digby. We got a free bottle of excellent wine, and a very detailed tour of the winery and it’s operations from Darren. He’s a super kind, friendly, and a gracious person! We highly recommend and will definitely stay there again! It has been the highlight of our month long trip! Thanks Darren and Susan for everything!

Hosts were very welcoming and we felt at home. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The property was fantastic, we enjoyed every minute we were there. The local pizza place is a definite gem, and you won't be disappointed. We received a wine tasting and tour and were so pleased to learn some history about the property and their wines. We can't wait to plan our next trip with Bear River as the main destination.
