Berwick, Nova Scotia

Berwick, Nova Scotia, has deep roots – many of the families who inhabit the stately homes and sprawling apple farms have lived here for generations – which give this close-knit community of 2,282 its own unique sense of tradition.

Located in the lovely Annapolis Valley, Berwick has made a name for itself as the Apple Capital of Nova Scotia. The area's gentle hills are dotted with an endless number of bright apple orchards, which you can visit to pick your own. For more apple excitement, be sure to attend Berwick's main annual event – the Annapolis Valley Apple Blossom Festival! Enjoy high tea with the Queen Annapolisa candidates; watch the Queen's official crowning; dance up a storm at the Queen's Ball; whip up your favorite apple treat for the Apple Blossom Dessert Contest; and watch two exciting parades. The event has been held annually since 1933!

Beauty is definitely a signature of the Annapolis Valley region. The town itself features elm-lined streets fronting historic buildings and homes. Not far from Berwick is the glorious Bay of Fundy. A natural wonder, the bay is a great place to spot marine life, including whales, seals, and porpoises. And the Annapolis Valley also has a growing wine industry. Many local wineries, including Sainte-Famille Wines in nearby Windsor, offer tours, tastings, and special events. Of course, in order to enjoy all these attractions, you need good weather. Fortunately, the Annapolis Valley region gets more sunshine than the rest of Nova Scotia, and the climate is quite mild.

No wonder so many families have stayed in Berwick for generation after generation … life here is a pleasure!
