Nova Scotia Wine Growing Regions
Since Nova Scotia does not produce Vitis Vinifera grapes or VQA wines. The areas in which grapes are grown are referred to as Growing Areas and not VA (Viticultural Areas).
There are two areas in Nova Scotia that lend themselves to grape growing they are:
- the coast along the Northumberland Strait
- the Annapolis Valley
Northumberland Strait
The Northumberland Strait, has the
warmest salt waters north of the Carolinas, it is warmer in the
summer months than many other coastal areas, this stored heat from the
water keeps the land warmer in the fall.
The Annapolis Valley
The Annapolis Valley is located between
an escarpment on the north mountains to the south creating a sheltered
area that boasts the warmest temperatures, and the longest growing
season in Nova Scotia.
