I will make some recommendations
Gaspereau Winery or Jost Winery both are very interesting
The Cabot Trail is spectacular anytime. There are some nice beaches too in Port Hood area just off the trail that make a great stop.
Fortress of Louisburg is great if you like history.
Glenora Distillery near Mabou is a very interesting stop.
Halifax Farmers Market
Did you order the Doers and Dreamers Guide? Check on the NS tourism website to see how to order it. It will lay out for you the drives by area and show you all there is to offer!

I'd like to understand where you are from in order to better contrast what you know with what Nova Scotia can offer.
Nova Scotia's finest appeal just might lie in the fact that it isn't on the way to anywhere, and thus it isn't overrun by society. Even the biggest roads there away from the cities are like "country roads".
Lots of magnificent water and scenery and it makes for a good trip because it is somewhere special, and probably not someplace that you're likely to just happen through at a later date.
This forum can be quite informative about Nova Scotia, and I'm sure you can learn all you need to know here. Maybe click on my name and then scan down the list that results, for threads about Nova Scotia.
(be sure to "view next 25" at the bottom of the each page until you find more info)

August would be a great time to visit. Here are some ideas from our trip, which included Halifax, the Annapolis Valley, and the South Shore:

DH and I loved our two weeks in Nova Scotia last August. (I know, doing a trip report here is still on my list.) We rented a car and stayed in Lunenberg, Wolfville, Pictou, Baddeck, Neil's Harbour, and Halifax. Highlights were hiking on Cape Breton, walking around the beautiful little towns like Lunenberg, and doing a Bird Island boat ride. We also loved the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. We were under-whelmed by the Bay of Fundy and we chose not to go to Louisburg on this trip.
