Lightfoot & Wolfville - Nova Scotia, Canada
Wines rooted in the deep connection between the people and the place.
Seventh generation farmers Michael and Jocelyn Lightfoot started Lightfoot & Wolfville as a way to diversify their family’s farm in Nova Scotia. Their philosophy has always been to work in harmony with nature and produce pure wines that are deeply connected to the people and place, an ethos celebrated in the winery’s name.
The Lightfoot family follows a holistic approach to farming and adheres to organic and biodynamic principles. Their vineyards are situated in the emerging Annapolis Valley, known for its unpredictable cool climate and close proximity to the shores of Minas Basin and the world’s highest tides, which moderates the temperature and protects their vines in the winter and extends the growing season.
In this distinctive microclimate, Lightfoot & Wolfville successfully cultivate both hybrid and classic vinifera grape varieties. The result is a collection of well-balanced, flavourful wines crafted with minimal intervention to ensure an authentic expression of terroir.
