Animals, an integral part of life at Crown Jewel, provide unique companions for many of our adventures. Indulge in an introductory or advanced course in horse driving. Hike with a llama companion or command a team of sled dogs and explore the wilderness that is Crown Jewel. Let us offer you a unique glimpse into how life was lived in an era almost forgotten, when animals were necessary for both companionship and survival. Kayak the Baddeck River.

| FOOD/LIQUOR |
|---|
| Flavours is a unique culinary destination that is to be discovered within a panorama of mountains, forest, river, and fields - the natural backdrop to a warming cuisine rooted in simplicity, connecting you directly to the source. We depend on the excellence of the raw materials, the rhythm of the seasonal crops, and a simple style of preparation that permits the natural flavours of the food to come through. From your first glimpse of our tranquil grazing pastures and their tenants, to the meandering Baddeck River and the rolling hills of the Valley beyond, the seasons' ever-changing palette soothes and delights. Sourcing ingredients from both our own farmlands and those of the surrounding region, our Chef puts together menu items that change daily, allowing you the opportunity to sample the best of what is locally available. He will then customize your experience into an adventure in food, reflecting your personal tastes. |
