More informations about the region of Nova Scotia
Nova Scotia is one of Canada’s maritime provinces, located halfway between the equator and the North Pole. While the region is not as famous for its wines as Ontario and British Columbia, there is a flourishing wine industry based largely on Sparkling wines and crisp white wines made from Grape varieties such as Vidal, Seyval Blanc, and the province's signature L'Arcadie Blanc variety. Nova Scotia is surrounded by three bodies of water, with the Atlantic Ocean to the South, the Bay of Fundy in the northwest and the Gulf of St Lawrence in the north. If it were an island it would be around the same area as Tasmania and almost the same relative latitude.
