About this property

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.

Nos hôtes parlent bien le Français. L’environnement du vignoble est magnifique avec le coucher de soleil en cadeau. La chambre est grande, bien équipée. Frigo et mico-ondes. Salle de bain confortable. Hôtes très accueillant. On peut souper dehors dans le vignoble en apportant notre lunch. La visite et la dégustation valent le prix. Vraiment magnifique.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Darren Carey

Host profile image
We are from Nova Scotia but had followed career paths across Canada until finding this unique opportunity to follow our dreams home. We purchased Bear River Vineyards in 2017, but the winery has operated since 2005 and the first vines were planted in 1993. We are a small, family run, business that focuses on guest experience.

Why they chose this property

The guest room was on VRBO under previous ownership and received 5-star reviews. When ownership transitioned, the slate was wiped clean for VRBO reviews, but our Facebook page highlights the guest experience you can expect at Bear River Vineyards. Stunning views, and the charm of a "cottage winery" in beautiful Bear River, Nova Scotia.

What makes this property unique

No other winery in Nova Scotia, and very few elsewhere, offers the experience of staying in a guest room that is situated within the winery itself. This unique experience includes a private tour by the owner and the privacy of enjoying sunsets alone in the vineyard.
