Postcard-Perfect Wineries

Somewhat surprisingly, Nova Scotia has a number of thriving wineries. They are all on the smaller side, but are really scenic and were definitely worth the visit on my vacation.

First, I visited Gaspereau Vineyards - which is located in a beautiful valley on a winding country road. The wine shop was housed in a classic big red barn and the whole vineyard was postcard-perfect. It was one of those places that makes you want to quit your day job, move to a foreign country, and open your own vineyard!


Then we visited Domaine de Grand Pré, which was a somewhat more chic winery with a gourmet restaurant on-site and outdoor space for weddings and other events. I took a tour there through the beautiful rows of grape vines and enjoyed a wine tasting afterward. Their ice wine, harvested in late December, was truly fantastic!
