Eileanan Bréagha

Located in scenic Cape Breton Island, Eileanan Breagha Vineyards is Nova Scotia’s northernmost winery. Translated to Scottish Gaelic, Eileanan Breagha means ‘beautiful island.’ Its name is a homage to the founder’s Gaelic heritage and the picturesque views that can be enjoyed from the winery.

Eileanan Breagha Vineyards sits on over 200 acres in the Marble Mountain region that runs along the Bras D’Or Lake of Cape Breton Island. Grapes have been grown on the property since 1993. In 2012, Ken MacLellan purchased the vineyard and established Eileanan Breagha as Cape Breton’s first winery.

Meet the Winemaker

Ken MacLellan’s deep desire to connect with the land that he grew up on motivated him to purchase Eileanan Breagha Vineyards in 2012.  At the same time, he also enrolled in the Winemaking Certificate Program at the prestigious UC Davis in California. With a background in instrumentation, Ken is constantly experimenting. Whether it be planting new varietals, producing unique blends of grapes, or creating new styles of wines, Ken is always pushing the limits to produce award-winning wines at Eileanan Breagha Vineyards.

Add @grandpre 's Riesling to your Nova Scotia Wine Add @grandpre 's Riesling to your Nova Scotia Wine Wish List🥂

There are few varieties that reflect the terroir better than Riesling. This medium-sweet white wine exhibits intense pear and citrus fruit aromas such as Bergamot Orange and Lime. Riesling's naturally high acidity and pronounced fruit flavours also lend this great wine potential to age gracefully.

Riesling is a versatile wine and can be paired with white fish or pork and a wide selection of different cheeses. Because of its pronounced sugar-acid balance, it can also stand up to spicy Asian dishes.

The location of the province's first vineyard was The location of the province's first vineyard was Bear River. The location had been chosen for its benign microclimate, which was both warmed and cooled by the twice-a-day flushing of the Bay of Fundy tides into and out of the Annapolis Basin and upstream to Bear River.
