Cape Breton in fall is usually a time to take in the foliage. Unfortunately, Hurricane Fiona all but swept the beautiful display away. But thankfully, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy our beloved island this autumn. For example, one of Nova Scotia’s most rewarding pastimes is cider-making. We love it so much that Cabot Shores has a travel package dedicated to this unique hobby.
Apples to Cider in Nova Scotia
Cider-making is a cultural endeavor many outdoor enthusiasts should try. Not only does it give you another reason to pick delectable apples, but you’ll also learn a valuable skill along the way. And at Cabot Shores, we have an onsite orchard, so you won’t have to travel far or deal with hauling apples around.
What to Expect From Your Nova Scotia Cider-Making Experience

Cider-making at Cabot Shores is one of our many unforgettable Cape Breton experiences. You spend three days and two nights amid scenic beauty and idyllic wilderness. We’ll provide dinner for two each night and a healthy breakfast every morning. We’ll teach you how to use the cider press, and you’ll be able to take some of this delicious beverage home with you. Just be sure to bring enough bottles with you to store it!
