GRAPES

Grape growing for wine production has been in Nova Scotia for centuries in some form, but in the last 20 years there has been a major expansion in the acreage.  As a new area for wine production there is potential to create unique products, as well as some challenges to manage the crop. With more than 15 wineries around the province, the goal is to make a high quality product and for wine, quality starts in the vineyard. In this section of our website, you will find information on the factors which have to be considered before the establishment of a vineyard, climatic conditions in the province, varieties recommended for Nova Scotia conditions, essentials of pest management and information on production costs.
