Gaspereau Vineyards

Gaspereau Vineyards grows grapes at Gaspereau, in the Gaspereau Valley appellation of Nova Scotia. It dates its founding to 1997.

Where it sits

Gaspereau Vineyards is at Gaspereau, and its fruit falls inside Gaspereau Valley, 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 Marquette, Seyval Blanc, Riesling, Vidal, L’Acadie, Lucie Kuhlmann, New York Muscat and Petite Milo.

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.

Vineyard area: 50 acres.

Visiting

open with seasonal hours from May 16th to September 7th

Also in Nova Scotia: Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards, Luckett Vineyards. The full list is on the Nova Scotia page.
