While out for a jaunt in the beautiful Nova Scotia countryside we happened upon this beautiful little place. While one of our junior team members was more interested in trying to catch frogs in the little pond by the vines, Mr. and Mrs. Trail Blaisers went inside for a taste. And we liked what we found. We returned home with a bottle of the Riesling. Bear River also makes a Chardonnay, Baco Noir and Pinot Noir.

From the winery website: Bear River is a maritime climate paradox. There is calm air, exceptional summer sun and no fog. These conditions create a vineyard climate found in few areas of eastern Canada. The vineyard environment and aspect in Bear River ripens eight varieties of vinifera. Well drained glacial soil and steeply sloping rows, warmed by the inland flow of the sea creates an ideal vineyard climate.
