Located on Canada's Atlantic Coast, Nova Scotia's wine industry is springing up on the west side of the peninsula in the Annapolis Valley, and currently inhabited by a growing number of wineries, 22 grape growers, and 250 acres of grapes - mostly French hybrid with a few acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

While the classic wines from Nova Scotia are making strides in gaining international respect, the colder North Atlantic climate has naturally lead to producing world class icewines, as well.
