Select Nova Scotia 2011 Local Food Hero -Chef Michael Howell, Tempest - more info

From around the world to the heart of the Annapolis Valley - evocative of faraway places and fond memories, glorious meals and great companions. To challenge your senses. Tempest was created to be a refuge from the storm - a haven to indulge in earthly pleasures.

Carefully selected wines from our province and all corners of the globe. Ingredients sourced locally and presented with artistic flair in an environment designed to complement the dining experience. Sustainable choices. Personal relationships with suppliers and producers.  This is Tempest.

"...There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple: Good things will strive to dwell within it..."     Shakespeare, The Tempest

We welcome you to join us in beautiful Wolfville, NS for lunch and dinner. We are less than one hour from Metro Halifax.  Whether in our contemporary  dining room or under the elms on our quiet patio, far from the madding crowd. Chef Michael Howell and Mary Harwell look forward to seeing you soon.
