L Acadie Vineyards

About the Owners

L’Acadie Vineyards is a family-owned and operated winery that was founded in 2004 by Bruce Ewert and his wife Pauline Scott. Following a successful wine-making career in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, Bruce trekked across the country with his wife and three kids under seven, along with their beloved Newfoundland dog, to chase their new dream in Nova Scotia. 

The family purchased a 30-acre property in Gaspereau, mainly for its exceptional rocky and well-drained soil, which they knew had the potential to grow grapes for what would become L’Acadie Vineyard’s world-class sparkling wine.

About L’Acadie Vineyards 

L’Acadie Vineyards crafted the first-ever traditional method sparkling wine from grapes grown in Nova Scotian soil. Traditional method sparkling wine is made in the same way as champagne; the bubbles are created during a bottle fermentation that occurs in the same bottle that the wine is sold. 

L’Acadie Vineyards was the first certified organic winery and vineyard in Nova Scotia. After having successfully completed the certification process in October 2021, they also became the first biocyclic vegan operation in North America.
