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!

Bear River Winery VRBO Nova Scotia

The Bear River Winery VRBO is situated in a beautiful valley overlooking the Bear River near Digby Nova Scotia. In addition to the very pleasing setting, the location is perfect for a couple who want to relax or get out to explore the Bay of Fundy side of Nova Scotia. As a bonus, the wines are excellent, and the hosts are friendly, gracious and very helpful. We would definitely stay at this property again.

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.

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!

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.

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!
