Literally on the side of the road, there is limited parking beside the red barn. A beautiful spot and one of Nova Scotia's oldest wineries. Take a tour and do the tastings (3 for $5 or $8 depending on which you choose). The wine here is really good and the views are absolutely breathtaking out back. This is a nice place to pack a picnic and enjoy the incredible landscape or take a romantic walk through the vineyard and enjoy the day. Worth the trip for the view and the wine!

While the location is beautiful and the staff were wonderful, this isn't our favourite winery in the province. We did a tasting which was awkwardly presented in shot glasses which we found quite tacky. Nothing in the tasting really stood out and we didn't end up buying a bottle of anything because the tastings are set. You can't really choose off the menu because not everything is available to try. We came for the annual Christmas in Petite, so it was quite busy and many wines weren't available which was a bummer. It would have been nice to select our own options to sample as there is a cost, so not sure we'll make the trip down from the Valley unless it's another annual event. The terrace is really lovely but the furniture could use some updating. Some cute bistro sets would be nice instead of overly bulky chairs and benches that are tough to move. Service was great and friendly so no complaints there. Overall, still worth visiting for location and the scenery, but as wine drinkers, this is pretty low on our list of faves simply because there wasn't much to try that we were interested in.

The grapes are all from the local area vineyards. Pretty nice product for a young wine making region. Also they make some very nice ciders, both dry, sweet and fruit added styles.

This winery is unlike any other I've been to. Yes, there are some grapes, but this winery is really…read morea working fruit farm and so the wines actually reflect that. As Heather, lovely owner, says "grape is just another fruit". Their award winning Blueberry wine is extremely popular with Maritimers, and while I like it, there are a few others I prefer. Their Honey Moon - doesn't it even sound fantastic - is fermented honey - think Harry Potter or King Arthur and mead. And is it potent, you ask? Well yes indeed. Tastes great with Indian curries and Plowman's lunches. And if either of those don't appeal to you there are strawberry, rhubarb, pear, even kiwis all grown in the Annapolis Valley or on their very own farm. I also spent a lovely hour or so picking my own blueberries. The Upick is only during blueberry season -August to October. Don't worry though, you can buy the wines at NSLC any time of year.

Now our kibble, is a Canadian product and for the life of the dog we could not find it readily... Ended up doing an in depth search and this place had our kibble... Do to the question of a wine making company having kibble I emailed this place. Day later I got a responce and low and behold they had the kibble! The owners were great in responce with me traveling with limited internet and even placed a bag aside for us. They had a wide selection of the Innova line of kibble... the owners of this business are definately dog lovers... Our kibble for the #15 bag was $38... pricey, but then isn't everything in Canada. In the US I usually pay $27. The owners are great. We were there first thing so parking was ample... They take credit cards. Dog is happy... I'm happy...

Coming from Northern California Wine Country, we were excited to try the local wine and we were not disappointed! The tasting room is located in a beautiful old church, which was relocated from another located. The story of the move, which includes a float down a river, is documented on the walls of a side room. This, along with several paintings and the stained glass windows, gives visitors plenty to explore while enjoying a tasting. We enjoyed all the wine we tasted, most of which were white. I'm a fan of big bold reds, but have to give a big shout out to Avondale Sky's Lady Slipper rose', as well as their ice wine. Both were fabulous. Avondale Sky Winery is worth a visit! I only wish we had tried their restaurant.
