Blomidon Inn, above, is a fomer<br />
sea captain’s mansion in Wolfville.<br />
Below, adventurers try boat jumping<br />
in Halls Harbour.<br />
in Halifax<br />
where students<br />
shell<br />
out $10 for a<br />
smoothie. So<br />
my daughter<br />
Julia, a<br />
Dalhousie<br />
student, was<br />
also quite<br />
curious to<br />
meet the<br />
man behind<br />
the famous<br />
stores. Luckily<br />
for us Pete<br />
was at the<br />
vineyard,<br />
greeting<br />
visitors and<br />
offering tastings<br />
while we<br />
all enjoyed<br />
the beautiful<br />
vistas. His<br />
Phone Box<br />
label is very<br />
popular and<br />
delicious.<br />
Plus, he offers<br />
all visitors a<br />
free call to<br />
anywhere<br />
in the world<br />
from his British<br />
red phone box in the vineyard! “It’s a<br />
labour of love,” he enthuses happily as he<br />
views the estate and sips a crisp blueberry<br />
wine. “It was an old field and an old barn.<br />
It’s come a long way in a short time. To be<br />
part of that excitement, to get people to try<br />
and accept Nova Scotian wines, is really<br />
making me happy,” he says.<br />
Nova Scotians are experts at making<br />
others feel happy too. A warm welcome<br />
awaits — just bring a hearty appetite and a<br />
thirst for fun, scenery and good times.<br />
