Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards

Lightfoot & Wolfville is a family-owned estate winery on the edge of Wolfville in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. Co-founders Jocelyn and Michael Lightfoot began planting vines in 2009 after an extensive study of the land, releasing their first wines under the estate name in 2015. Michael is a seventh-generation Annapolis Valley farmer and the third generation to work the property on which the winery now stands.

Its 40 acres of vines are divided between the Lightfoot Home Farm and Oak Island Vineyard at Avonport, two sites influenced by the immense tides and saltwater breezes of the Minas Basin. The estate is certified organic by Ecocert and biodynamic by Demeter. Winemaking follows a minimal-intervention approach.
