About the winery

Situated in the Annapolis Valley, Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards is one of Nova Scotia’s newest wineries, officially opening to the public in the summer of 2017. Owned and operated by the Lightfoot family who have been farming in the Annapolis Valley for eight generations, Lightfoot & Wolfville provides a truly unique farm winery experience. Embracing organic and biodynamic agriculture, this estate nurtures not only 35 acres of vineyard, but also raises heritage breed livestock, and grows its own produce for the winery kitchen. With close proximity to the Minas Basin and the world’s highest tides, cool breezes and excellent temperature moderation help create wines of great distinction. The focus is on elegant, balanced wines that speak of their origin including award-winning Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, aromatic whites such as Riesling and sparkling wines. The new hospitality centre features a retail boutique, tasting room, wood-fired pizza oven, and patio where guests can enjoy stunning views of Cape Blomidon. The opulent underground barrel cellar and marquee tent among the vines provide the perfect backdrop for weddings and special events.
