Lightfoot & Wolfville is a Demeter-certified biodynamic farm-winery located in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia on Canada’s Atlantic coast. The name of the winery - “Lightfoot & Wolfville” - represents the connection of people and place (Lightfoot is our surname and Wolfville being the name of the town), a relationship that is at the heart of everything we do. While our journey in wine growing first began in 2009 with the initial planting of grapevines, our family’s farming roots go back eight generations in the Annapolis Valley - four generations on our current home farm land where the winery sits today. Our focus is on cool-climate wines that speak of their origin, including traditional method sparkling wines, aromatic whites, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In addition to nurturing nearly 40 acres of grapevines for wine production, we operate as a working biodynamic farm that also grows ingredients for the winery’s farm-to-table restaurant, including heirloom vegetables, herbs, grass-fed Highland beef, Southdown lamb and Mangalitsa pork. Aiming to achieve self-sufficiency as much as possible, forage for the livestock is also grown on-site and waste materials such as grape pomace and livestock manure are composted and fed back to the soil. Our winery hospitality facility, opened in 2017, features a wine shop, tasting room and full-service event venue where we serve our wines alongside local in-season ingredients, connecting guests with the unique terroir of Nova Scotia.

Like the building of a historical Saltbox house, brewing small batches of quality beer is a deeply rooted expression of heritage and craftmanship found in Nova Scotia. In those days, most brewing and drinking was done in the home. The resurgence of craft brewing marks a renaissance of the kind of local brewing that took place before the industrial revolution – when making beer was a standard household chore as integral as baking bread.

At Saltbox Brewing Company, we celebrate the development of the skills and artistry required to create fresh, full-flavoured beer for consumption by the local community. Our motto: “Think social, and drink local.”

We take great pride in creating unique, and wonderful craft beer, cider and RTDs made with high quality ingredients.

Craft distilling is a rich Steinhart family tradition over 300 years in the making. Thomas Steinhart still remembers coming of age in rural Germany, where he spent many happy hours helping his grandfather stoke the wood-fired still. Though the fire has long since extinguished and the family farm has been sold, the joy of using natural ingredients to craft superb spirits is still ablaze in Thomas’ memory. Thomas Steinhart is a bold personality, with a flair for rebellion and living life on his own terms. Now, after travelling the world for work, Thomas is ready to settle down on his farm in Antigonish, NS, and revive his family’s heritage by launching Steinhart Distillery. When coming to Steinhart Distillery you will have the option to experience a tour of the distillery and taste some of our famous products. We have a wide range of cocktails on our menu; anywhere from gin and tonics to our special sweetheart drink. Not only do you get to experience our friendly staff but you get to enjoy our beautiful view of the northumberland straight. Come on out and give us a try.

We are a small batch craft distillery located in Annapolis Royal, NS.

Wander our garden, boozy popsicle in hand or—for the somewhat abstemious—a rose petal ice-cream.

Walk the labyrinth, enjoy the views of the Minas Basin, then stop into the shop to sample innovative concoctions from Spicy Cucumber and Dill to Damson Plum and Basil. Licensed for over ten years, we hand-craft liqueurs to add a fresh twist to your cocktail, enliven a sparkling wine, or elevate a simple desert to something scrumptious.
