Gaspereau Vineyards tasting room

The first winery to establish in the Valley, Gaspereau Vineyards is situated on the edge of a picturesque, 50-acre vineyard that was formerly the site of a dairy farm and apple orchard. The team is a small-but-passionate crew dedicated to providing guests with a complete and personal Nova Scotia wine experience. Husband-and-wife owners Carl and Donna Sparkes have been dedicated to creating terror-driven award-winning wines in Nova Scotia since 2012. Enjoy daily wine tastings, vineyard tours, locally-inspired charcuterie pairings, and shopping at the winery boutique.

Meet the Winemaker

Nova Scotia-born Gina Haverstock first made a name for herself in the wine world at Jost Vineyards. A Bachelor of Science graduate with plans to become a doctor, Gina took a job at Jost Vineyards in the summer of 2000 and was soon captivated by wines. Upon completion of her studies, Gina worked at wineries in Germany, Austria, France, and New Zealand. She returned to Nova Scotia in 2006 to become Gaspereau Vineyards’ head winemaker. Her wines, particularly her Riesling and aromatic whites, have received international awards and accolades. Gina takes great care to transfer the essence of Nova Scotia’s extraordinary terroir into truly outstanding wines.

Vine pruning has begun🍇 The primary goal of pr Vine pruning has begun🍇

The primary goal of pruning is to maximize the amount of one-year-old wood on each grapevine without encouraging the plant to produce so many grape clusters that it lacks the energy and nutrients to fully ripen them.
