Located on Canada's Atlantic Coast, Nova Scotia's wine industry is springing up in the Annapolis Valley.

Two dozen grape growers, and 250 acres of grapes - grow mostly French hybrid with a few acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

In addition to Annapolis Valley, most of Nova Scotia's 30 wineries are also located along the coast in the Malagash Peninsula, and LaHave River Valley.

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.
