The Winery Association of Nova Scotia was formed in 2002 and works to build awareness of the Wines of Nova Scotia brand, serve as a voice for wineries, and work closely with all government levels to grow the industry and expand market opportunities for the sale of Nova Scotia wine. In 2020, the association rebranded to Wine Growers Nova Scotia (WGNS) to align with Wine Growers Canada and other wine regions across the country.
WGNS is committed to building excellence throughout every aspect of the industry, forging partnerships, attracting potential investors and catapulting Nova Scotia wine onto the world stage.
