Mercator Vineyards

Mercator Vineyards grows grapes at Wolfville, in the Gaspereau Valley appellation of Nova Scotia.

Where it sits

Mercator Vineyards is at Wolfville, 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, Chardonnay and Muscat.

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

Our winery is closed for the season!

Also in Nova Scotia: Planters Ridge Winery, 1365 Church Street Vineyard & Winery. The full list is on the Nova Scotia page.
