Nova Scotia is a small but growing wine region located on the east coast of Canada. The region has a cool climate, which is well-suited to the production of crisp, aromatic white wines and light-bodied red wines. The history of winemaking in Nova Scotia dates back to the early 17th century, when French settlers first planted vines in the region. However, it was not until the late 20th century that the region began to establish itself as a serious wine-producing area.
The main grapes grown in Nova Scotia are hybrid varieties such as L'Acadie Blanc, Seyval Blanc, and Baco Noir. These grapes are well-suited to the region's cool climate and are used to produce a range of white, red, and sparkling wines. Nova Scotia is particularly known for its crisp, aromatic white wines, which are often made from L'Acadie Blanc and Seyval Blanc grapes.

Nova Scotia is home to the Tidal Bay appellation, which is the first appellation in North America to be defined by the winemaking process rather than by geography. To be labeled as a Tidal Bay wine, the wine must be made from specific grape varieties and meet strict quality standards.
