Casa Nova Fine Beverages

Casa Nova Fine Beverages grows grapes at Bear River, in the Bear River appellation of Nova Scotia.

Where it sits

Casa Nova Fine Beverages is at Bear River, and its fruit falls inside Bear River, one of the recognised growing areas of Nova Scotia. What a geographic claim means on a label differs by province — the Canadian wineries page sets out how.

What it grows

The winery works with Muscat, Riesling, De Chaunac, L’Acadie, Lucie Kuhlman and Petite Pearl.

Where a grape has a page here, it covers how that variety behaves in Canadian conditions: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches, and where it is planted.

Visiting

Open Daily from May Long Weekend until the end of October. Hours: 11am to 6pm.

Also in Nova Scotia: Domaine de Grand Pré, Gaspereau Vineyards. The full list is on the Nova Scotia page.
