Throughout the 1600's, French settlers farmed the land in the Gaspereau Valley, cultivating the ancient, mineral-rich, sea-bed soil.

Customers and international judges say that they can taste a hint of saline in our organic vegan wines.

The earth – terroir- is essential to the flavour of grapes and the wines that come from them. Terroir is what ultimately gives every wine its body, its character, its sense of place. We make the best organic vegan wines in Canada, Nova Scotia terroir wines.

The roots of our vines reach deep into the sea-bed soil, giving complex mineral flavours to our food-friendly wines.
Our hillside vineyard drains through schist, slate and sandstone to keep roots dry and warm. This gives us concentrated flavours and ripeness.
We actively promote a healthy, natural ecosystem with no animal inputs for flavourful vegan wine. We also avoid pesticides for truly organic wine with natural clean flavour and finish.
We tend our soil’s natural microbial health which results in better, truer Nova Scotia terroir wine flavours.

Here is news on a collaboration with Saint Mary’s University to better understand our microbial terroir,

Simply Ideal

“Arcadia” was the unspoiled, pastoral home of the Greek god Pan, the name means refuge, or idyllic place. L’Acadie Vineyards is named after that, our ideal home after travelling, studying, and working around the world. An idyllic place for our family, our passion, and grapes for our customers’ favourite fine, fragrant, crisp and elegant wines.

The perfect grape from the ideal terroir deserves a meticulous process of old world care.

Method

L’Acadie Vineyards sparkling wines are Traditional Method and Charmat Method, both produced with natural secondary fermentation for persistent bubbles.

Traditional Method sparkling wine is the process of natural fermentation in the bottle and aging – the same bottle you buy. Learn about our Sparkling Wine Club
Charmat Method sparkling wine creamy bubbles are from natural fermentation in specialized charmat tanks imported from northern Italy. Learn more about our Joie de Vivre Club
Our grapes are carefully handpicked and pressed whole cluster, in keeping with this method.
The art of blending with an experienced winemaker palate to foresee future development
We age our traditional method sparkling wines in the bottle on yeast sediment for complex toasty flavours recognized in the world’s most loved sparkling wines.
We are Nova Scotia’s premier producer of sparkling wine, blending tradition and innovation to showcase our unique terroir.
Our wines are hand-riddled, and hand disgorged to remove sediment, preserving the natural, clean flavour of our organic vegan wines.
