Our vineyards are planted on the steeply sloped valley walls above Bear River, a tidal estuary that flows into the Annapolis Basin. Mostly south-facing, they overlook the stunning vistas of the valley in a sun-drenched amphitheatre. It is believed that vines were first planted in Bear River by French settlers in 1611.
The winery is housed in a masterfully renovated bank barn that was built in 1883. The unique four-and-a-half-storey design of the barn allows for a primarily gravity-fed winemaking process. The main level of the winery houses the tasting bar and wine shop. From its soaring beamed ceiling to the herringbone slate floor, it is the perfect place to enjoy our 100% estate-grown and -bottled wines while surrounded by understated elegance.
Tastings available from 11am to 6pm daily, June to September and 11am to 6pm Thursday through Sunday until October 31.
We offer vineyard and winery tours on request.
