“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!”

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.

Tony Aspler

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…”
