Domaine de Grand Pré Winery
At Domaine de Grand Pré, we take great pride in making the finest Nova Scotian wines. We have worked hard to develop special Nova Scotian wines that are unlike any others in the region and whose crisp flavour comes from using only 100 per cent Nova Scotian grapes. We have created unique varieties that are suited to the Maritime region. We grow specialty grapes that were developed for Nova Scotia climate and landscape. The results are apparent in our array of award-winning vintages, which wine lovers across Canada and around the world appreciate.
Luckett Vineyards – Gaspereau Valley
Luckett Vineyards is excited to be making headway with exciting varietals well suited to the area’s special growing conditions. The unique tidal airflow from the Bay of Fundy provides mild temperatures year-round, preventing late frosts in the spring and early frosts in the fall. In addition to providing a generous micro-climate, the dramatic land formations allow spectacular vistas.
Nestled in the hillsides of Nova Scotia’s enchanting Gaspereau Valley, the winery is beautifully positioned to take advantage of a fertile terroir, and enjoys stunning views overlooking the Minas Basin and Blomidon.
Gaspereau Vineyards – Gaspereau Valley
The first winery to establish in the valley, Gaspereau Vineyards is situated on the edge of a picturesque, 35-acre vineyard. Best known for outstanding Rieslings, Gaspereau Vineyards specializes in fruit-forward, terroir driven whites, and earthy, robust red wines. In the vineyard, cellar and boutique, the Gaspereau team is dedicated to providing guests with a complete and personal Nova Scotian wine experience from grape to glass.
