Acadian Shore: Black River Dam, Le Caveau Winery Lunch, Grand Pre National Historical Site

Please join us for a scenic tour of the Nova Scotia Valley Region. This area is well known for its agricultural produce, world renowned wines, and historic Acadian culture. 

Acadian settlers utilized dykes to transform the landscape from Fundy Bay salt marshes into productive farmlands which have led to the valley’s present day purposes. 

Our tour will include an operating modern power dam, a luncheon at a local vineyard and a cultural tour with a focus on the geotechnical development of the area before returning to the province’s capital city, Halifax.
