The Landscape of Grand Pr
For culture lovers, the Landscape of Grand Pr is Nova Scotia's newest UNESCO World Heritage Site in the picturesque Annapolis Valley. Acres of immaculately tended farmland pay homage to the dyke system first built by 17th century Acadian settlers on land reclaimed from the sea. The area is the scenic setting for American poet Henry Wadsworth LongfellowÕs narrative poem Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie. Learn about the Acadian Deportation at the Grand Pr National Historic Site which is located within the Landscape of Grand Pr. Today this landscape is bordered by lush farmland and prolific vineyards producing award-winning wines. Wine tours and tastings, local farm markets, and restaurants provide the delicious opportunity to combine a fascinating cultural and culinary experience.
