Mercator Vineyards is distinctive for its authentic heritage and welcoming in its relaxed and simple focus on old world-style wines. We are devoted to growing exceptional grapes and making extraordinary, limited-edition wines that express our terroir. Situated on a bluff above the historic Acadian dykelands, the winery sits at the point where the Cornwallis River enters the tidal bay of the Minas
Basin. Our unique coastal terroir overlooks the Bay of Fundy where the world’s highest tides influence our vineyard’s soil and generate our temperature-moderating tidal winds. The vineyards are located just to the east of the town of Wolfville, Nova Scotia and adjacent to the Grand-Pré National Historic site. Named for the pioneering cartographer whose groundbreaking world map made way for the first agrarian settlements in the area, Mercator wines challenge our perceptions of “local” wine by taking us into a world of premium, estate-select and cellared wines that rival the best the world has to offer. Come enjoy a wine flight with small bites in our restored farmhouse, linger over a bottle of reserve wine and watch the eagles from the deck, or choose a selection of our pantry fixings and head out on our bikes along the Harvest Moon Trail. Immerse yourself in the timeless tranquility and warmth of our region and experience some of Nova Scotia’s finest, award-winning wines.
