The Sanft & Southwell family opened Lunenburg County Winery on their commercial blueberry farm in 1993. It’s a lively, friendly winery located on the beautiful South Shore of Nova Scotia, surrounded by Acadian forest on a glacial drumlin, shirted by the Lahave River near Indian Falls.

Meet the Winemaker
Winemaker and farmer Daniel Sanft grew up in Vancouver enjoying life by the Pacific Ocean until meeting his wife, who brought him home to the Atlantic Ocean. A love of farming and winemaking has filled his days for the past 40 years. Dan is a well-read, well-travelled, and primarily self-trained man with a lifetime of hands-on experience. He is an invaluable, one-of-a-kind pioneer of Nova Scotia winemaking. Dan believes in 100% Nova Scotia-grown fruit and estate grape wines (100% Lunenburg County grapes). He has won many awards and medals for his winemaking over the years.
