“Tidal Bay is a maritime appellative blend of genius creation, a terroir specific concept so specific to Annapolis Valley/Bay of Fundy/Minas Basin vineyards in Nova Scotia.”
Michael Godel, 2021
“Benjamin Bridge, Blanc de Blancs 2004. Disgorged 2012. Put this up against any Great Champagne. Anytime. Incredible depth and vibrancy.”
Veronique Rivest
Master Sommelier, 2018“Somewhere at the intersection of the adages that ‘good things come in small packages’ and ‘great wines come from fringe places’, you’ll find Nova Scotia’s wine industry.”
Treve Ring
Wine Enthusiast Magazine, June 2017“True regional wine & food match: L’Acadie & NS lobster. One of the very best in the country!”
Veronique Rivest
Master Sommelier, 2018“Canada’s next great wine region is Nova Scotia.”
Melanie Patten
The Canadian Press, March 2016“Talk long enough to just about any passionate winemaker and there’s a strong probability you’ll hear the word ’terroir’ in your conversation. In Nova Scotia’s small but impressive wine industry, there’s an equally evocative and uniquely local term for much the same thing: Tidal Bay.”
Beppi Crosariol
Globe and Mail, October 2015“I predict that Tidal Bay will become Nova Scotia’s calling card, like Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand or Malbec in Argentina or Shiraz in Australia.”
Tony Aspler
June 2015“Shocker: Nova Scotia is an emerging wine region that produces naturally sparkling and crisp whites that win awards internationally.”
The Guardian (United Kingdom)
September 2017“What really makes a wine fine? The root is: it’s not a sure thing…and there’s some impressive sparkling wine coming from insanely cool Nova Scotia, of all places…”
Matt Kramer
Wine Spectator, March 2016
