Tastings are free of their cider, wine and cellos and there's lots to try from dry to VERY sweet. While we prefer more dry ciders and wines, there are some interesting choices here for folks who aren't necessarily wine drinkers. If wine isn't really your thing, this is likely a good place to start your intro. Sweeter wines and ciders which will appeal to the novice. Their white wine was quite nice even though we're not white wine drinkers. It's very much like a Tidal Bay (Nova Scotia's flagship wine) and really good chilled. The rhubarb wine was surprisingly refreshing and nice on a hot summer day. The shop has lots of selection but the cider in plastic bottles was quite a turn off and in poor taste so we opted to have a glass each on the patio which has a great view but could use some work. Classier furniture and maybe some umbrellas would spruce the place up a bit. The staff was super friendly and the grounds are really peaceful. A little bonus is the owners have a decent selection of thrift items for a really great price throughout the shop. You can find some really unique dinner and glassware to bring home. Overall, this place has some really great potential but just needs a bit more attention. The yellow house on the hill is still a great spot to stop in and we'll be sure to check back again.

With many new flavours, the brand spanking new location is on acres and acres of their farmland right off Highway/Trunk 1; big black building, you can't miss it! The cider is what you come for. It's on tap or try a flight if you're not ready to commit to an entire glass. Bringing the kids? No problem, there's an ice cream take out window out back and doughnuts are available Thursday to Sunday. LOTS of room for them to run around the muddy fields (for now) or over into the sunflower patch. Sit outside on the back deck or under the picnic shelter. There's also seating inside if you're not into the Valley heat/humidity. There's lots of work still going on here but this is also a wonderful market with fresh produce and lots to offer. Free parking on site but this place gets packed quickly and parking spots are tougher to find. Looks like there will be a lot more expansion here as they only just opened to the public a week ago. Bottoms up!

Easy to miss and kind of tricky to get to because their address shows as Digby on their social…read moremedia but they're actually in Smith's Cove. LOTS of selection for beers on tap and to go. Free parking right outside and a beautiful outdoor seating area with a fire pit and picnic benches. If it's too chilly, sit in the heated veranda attached to the brewery. But don't come when it's busy; there are only three tables inside the veranda and one in the brewery. No food just yet but they're planning food trucks for the summer. They've got chips to go with your beer.

This is a great spot and it's always busy which speaks for itself as a review…read more We've been here both when it's quiet (once) and when it's busy and the service has always been impeccable. I'd say that's the best thing going here. The only thing that could use a bit of some working on is the food. We got the nachos and it would be great to have more jalapeños and maybe real nacho chips instead of Tostitos. If you're getting the half order, you better be sharing because it's beyond sufficient for two people. The beer is great here and there's always a great selection. Stay for a pint to enjoy the great service and take some beer home to enjoy the great taste!

More of the linoleum and cheap chair interior type but that's the idea. Eating in I went for the famous Digby scallops wrapped in bacon with sweet potato fries. Of course, they were perfect. I also ordered a cooked lobster to go and picked out a 3.5 pound monster. The claw alone had enough meat to satisfy lesser men.

I have tried both types of clams, both are juicy and chewy. Tried both fish n chips n breaded sole, both are great. Normal fish n chips has light batter is does not taste flour-ish. Very nice n light. Their calamari is the nicest I have ever had so far. Its a pity I can't buy seafood when I left Digby. I did pack breaded scallops for my ferry back to Saint John though. This is a MUST TRY seafood when you are in Digby. Great service, Great taste, LOW price. (They do close early, 7pm / 8pm dep on season)

I've always found Joann and Terry to be welcoming (but when busy I understand; not easy running a multi-faceted shop single-handedly!).

The inside of the shop is interesting, but feels a little bit musty and dusty. There was a small selection of chocolates and a few cakes out.

Not a lot of seating so be prepared to take your coffee and snacks to go. If you're lucky enough to grab a seat inside, head to the till towards the back to order. Once your order is in, grab a seat and the friendly staff will bring your order to you. So nice to see some new places open up in this great unsuspecting town. Lunch is really busy so be prepared to wait a little longer than you'd expect if you're from the big city. Worth the stop and lots more to see in this great town!

This place is a refreshing addition to the number of restaurants in Kentville. The food is phenomenal. The owner who are super friendly and welcoming, makes sure to have local produce and food items included in their menu, like the locally grown delicious mushrooms, or locally raised beef/pork. Not your typical taqueria but great atmosphere, delicious food. You can have your pick of taco, quesadilla, burrito, in a bowl, or salad, or even in a bag of chips! Every dish is different as you can choose whatever protein and toppings you'd like. Their homemade sauces/salsas are also very good along with the local nova Scotian hot sauces available to add to your taco/burrito/quesadilla for that added extra zing. Aside from the food, they also have a very good drink menu. Real good thirst-quenching margaritas that you can get in different flavors as well. They have also partnered with a local brewery to come up with their own brew - the mexican lager. Every visitor we get, I make sure to bring them to this place and everyone always says they love the food. If you are in kings county, make sure you stop by and get your fill of their delicious food!

The space is small with limited seating, but there is also a small bar top and a great patio right on Main Street (Highway 1). Love the variety of options and super happy and friendly staff. There's an all day breakfast and even a taco paddle (8 tacos of your choice for $50) which is great for sharing with friends to make it super affordable! The bar menu is amazing with so many local options as well as 0% choices. Order food and drinks at the counter - no table service. Love that the space is accessible and easy to get in and out of. Parking right out front on Main Street or the large grocery store parking lot right next door.
