About the winery

Planters Ridge is an artisanal winery housed in a newly renovated 150 year-old heritage timber frame. Our name was selected to reflect the history of the land on which we are situated. The farm is part of an original land grant offered to the New England Planter families in 1760, by the Lieutenant Governor after the Acadian Expulsion. Through the cultivation of grapevines we are able to preserve the rich farming heritage of the property. Our terroir serves as the inspiration for the wines we produce and we welcome connoisseurs and new wine drinkers alike to experience the beauty of the Annapolis Valley from our stunning vantage point in Port Williams. Enjoy the views from our patio or nestle into a chair beside the fire in our tasting room and embrace a slower pace of life with a glass of truly great Nova Scotian wine. Our rich history is embedded in our message, our brand and our story. We invite you to taste the tradition and passion in every bottle.
