Discover more about Tidal Bay: News, Events and Recipes for the top-selling Tidal Bay wine: Jost Tidal Bay.  

Officially launched in June 2012, Tidal Bay is the first wine appellation for Nova Scotia. A crisp, aromatic white wine, it displays the unique characteristics of our cool climate region and pairs perfectly with the local seafood we’re known for. The name Tidal Bay was inspired by the influence of the sea on all of the wineries located across the province. Although all Tidal Bay wines must follow the same set of standards, each wine is slightly different from one another, and wineries are able to uniquely express their individuality within their Tidal Bay wines. To obtain the Tidal Bay designation, all wines must be made from specific grape varieties, include 100% Nova Scotia grown grapes, follow a strict set of standards and be approved every year by an independent blind tasting

Our wines are an expression of our vibrant & nourishing coastal terroir

It is a well-established truth that one of the foundational guides to food & wine pairing is what grows together goes together. This is no less true when it comes to our wines and our historically rich, world-class cuisine. Our portfolio of wines is well suited to our culinary traditions. Our cool climate serves to produce wines which are high in acidity while generally lower in tannin. Where oak is used, it is done so to support our wines and not mask them. Our wine styles are fresh, lively and aromatic. Here in Atlantic Canada we are known for our fresh seafood. Our wines are the perfect accompaniment. Try our Jost Tidal Bay with a traditional lobster supper or mouth-watering sautéed
