Nova Scotia's
Signature Wine
Tidal Bay is more than a wine—it’s an expression of Nova Scotia.
As North America’s first regional appellation wine, every bottle is made exclusively from 100% Nova Scotia-grown grapes and must meet rigorous production standards before earning the Tidal Bay name.
Bright, aromatic, and refreshingly crisp, Tidal Bay was created to reflect our coastal terroir and pairs beautifully with Atlantic seafood, local cuisine, and moments shared around the table.
