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.

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!

This was such a beautiful setting very private with amazing views..our hosts were such lovely people and they made us feel welcome from start to finish. Our room had everything we needed and it was spotlessly clean. We really enjoyed our 3 day visit and would love to visit again in the fall season. We would not hesitate to highly recommend this unique property and the owners Dean and Sue to other travelers. You will not be disappointed.

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.

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!

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!

Awesome Stay
This is a small family-run vineyard. The owners were amazing to talk to and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the vineyard and wine making facility. The wines that they produce were first-rate and we bought a number of bottles to bring home as they are not available at the NSLC, only available onsite or through the website. There is no restaurant onsite which provides incentive to visit the local area. We ate one night in Digby and the other night in Bear River itself. Great weekend and the owners are excellent.

Wonderful place to get away from it all. Room was excellent and the winery is amazing. The owners, Darren and Susan go out of their way to make sure you are happy. Wine tasting and tour were fabulous and informative. Local and up and coming artist Gregory also works in the winery. One of their wines has his artwork on one of the labels. Everyone at the Vineyard is amazing. We stayed for two nights and will definitely be back. Great location to get to other places around Digby. The winery is 10 miles away from Digby but when you are at the winery, it feels like you are a hundred miles away. Quiet and breathtaking views.

fantastic
Outstanding - it’s a small, self-contained room, but exactly as shown in the listing. Sue and Darren could not have been nicer. Since they’re right on the property communication was very easy. The vineyards are beautiful and the setting is wonderful. Be sure to make use of the chairs situated in the orchard beneath the 2 great oaks - a wonderful place to sip wine on (for us) a very hot day. Sue did our tasting and was excellent - we really liked their whites and the roses, but didn’t taste the reds or do the vineyard tour with Darren (because of the heat we declined). Our number one find from Bear River was the botanical gardens at Annapolis Royale - don’t miss them! Second was Frank and Dora’s retro burger and shake place down the road - a trip in itself. Finally you cannot really count on the village of Bear River for dinner (at least in our experience) - go to Digby for the scallops. A great time!
