Ceilidh in Baddeck and Wolfville wine tour

Last night, Trevor, I finally had tickets for the Celtic  music at the hall across the street from our Airbnb called the Baddeck gathering Ceilidh. This event has been running nightly for many years and the people who are a husband and wife duo with their friend have been playing every Thursday night for more than 20 years. The average age of the event was 75 and then there was Trevor and I it was pretty funny. We enjoyed the music though they played for about two hours with a short 15 minute intermission where they gave us all tea they even had decaf and oat cakes.

This morning, of course we stopped ordered our day at our favourite bakery. I’ve got a bagel and I got some berry scones. Trevor also bought a T-shirt.

Most of the day was driving today it was over four hours to get from Baddeck to Wolfville. Wilville is in the Annapolis Valley. The Annapolis Valley is wine country The guy at the bakery this morning had recommended that we must try The Noodle Guy which is a restaurant where they make all of their own noodles

We got a tagliatelle pasta with sausage and feta and ravioli with caramelized onions. We like both of them, but we both really liked the ravioli.

We were a little bit confused about our itinerary for tomorrow so we stopped by the Wolfville visitor centre and talk to a guy who marked a few things on the map for us. Honestly, we didn’t have much time before our wine tour and I think we may have walked out more confused than we started. We quickly got changed in a bathroom because we couldn’t check into our hotel and our wine tour guy was picking us up at 2 PM We pulled into our hotel parking lot at about 1:55 PM and immediately jumped into the van with our driver for our wine tour. We had booked for him to take us to three different wineries and he did a great tour of the area along the way we went all through Wilville and he told us all about the different restaurants and areas, and then he did tours of a lot of history on the way to and from each winery.

The first winery was called Lightfoot  we got two flights here so we got to try six types of wines

Then we went to Luick winery where we tried eight different kinds of wines they also had a brand new just came out today nonalcoholic wine, and they gave us a try of that and it was quite nice maybe not quite like wine, but it was delicious

And finally, we ended at Benjamin Bridge where we had upgraded to a charcuterie board and guided sparkling wine tour. The lady that ran it was quite good and informative, and the charcuterie board was delicious. by this time in the tour, I was pretty wind out and I just had her pour small sips for me because I did not want to be going home absolutely drunk

We stopped at a little chocolate shop on our way back and got a small treat and then we got back to our hotel to check in at about 6:15 PM. It’s a great hotel called hotel will fill which has apartment style units. We really weren’t hungry and we decided that we’d rather just stay in tonight. We eat some chocolate and we looked at the map for our day tomorrow Jeremy our tour guide had given us even more ideas of things to do and we had to figure out how to fit it all into the day so we spent about an hour researching things and figuring out our day for tomorrow. I had a shower and washed my hair and now we’re just lounging and will probably head to bed early.
