Description
A cultivated experience for the mind, body and soil! Wolfville is the fastest-growing community in Nova Scotia. Here people find the perfect mix of small-town livability and urban energy. Of old-fashioned values and new-fangled ideas. Of heritage homes and knowledge-based businesses. Of peace and stimulation.
Only an hour from Halifax, Wolfville is an historic town that’s proud of its enlightened views on sustainability and diversity. We became the country’s first Fair Trade town. With care and deliberation, we’ve created the community we want to live in.
Which, of course, had to include lots of opportunity for good food and drink too.
There’s nothing like a crunchy Honey crisp plucked right off the tree - but that’s not all on offer these days. Organic produce. Spring lamb. Lobster still shaking off seawater. Our many fine eateries can score the best ingredients right from the source. If you like your food slow and your wine nouveau, Wolfville’s the place to be.
And speaking of wine, we’re the hub of l’Acadie blanc country. Seven vineyards now encircle the town. There’s no need to hop on a plane for a wine tour any more. Just get on your bike.
Lots of people do. That’s because we balance our love of the finer things in life with our love of the great outdoors. Maybe it has something to do with the 3500 students who arrive at Acadia each fall, but there’s a youthful feel here. People of all ages can be seen running, hiking, biking, skiing or - when the tide’s right - sliding down mud flats on their bellies.
But joie de vivre isn’t all the university brings to Wolfville. Acadia also contributes to the town’s vibrant cultural scene. Music, art, theatre, cinema, sport – Wolfville punches way above its weight in all these areas. No wonder our area hotels, motels, historic inns and B&Bs bustle with cultural tourists from Halifax to Helsinki.
The university’s business and science faculties are also creative catalysts for Wolfville’s entrepreneurs. Their support and expertise energize our business sector.
Town and gown. Urban and rural. Hard work and good fun. In perfect balance. In the perfect place. At the perfect time. Wolfville. Just perfection.

Old Burying Ground on Main Street Repairs to the Old Burying Ground wall will commence on Tuesday, May 16th, 2017. The plan is to remove the wall one section at a time and store the stones on site avoiding the gravesites. As part of the reconstruction two trees behind the western section of the wall will be removed. These trees will not survive the reconstruction and their roots are at least partially responsible for the deterioration of the wall. New trees will be planted in the area but a safe distance from the wall once work is completed. Construction is expected to take 8 weeks and this section of the sidewalk will be closed to pedestrian traffic to allow the contractor room to work and protect the public. The contractor is well aware of the historical significance of the site and will make every effort to respect the property and not disturb any of the gravesites. The public can access the burying ground during construction from Clock Park.
