The best wines from Nova Scotia in Canada

Nova Scotia is an idyllic Canadian region in the east but with conditions that are not very favorable for wine growing. With less than twenty wineries and more than 200 hectares of vineyards it is a tiny wine region.

The vines in Nova Scotia are mainly in the sheltered valleys or along the coast of the adjacent bay. Only there is the cold climate somewhat suitable for wine growing, the rest of Nova Scotia is too cold. In Nova Scotia, wine is mainly made from early-ripening grapes from hybrid vines such as Vidal, Seyval Blanc, L’Acadie, Marechal Foch and De Chaunac. Like Quebec, this wine region has no appellation system.
