Petite Rivière Vineyards

Visited here on a Wednesday afternoon in September and was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the wines. I tried 10 different wines including 3 whites, 5 reds, 1 rose and 1 fortified.Left with a mixed case. So far my favourite is the 2017 Kissing Brook red blend. Interestingly, I found a 2012 vintage in a NSLC near me. Curious to see how it's aged.

Great staff, place, vine tasting, food and tour. But some facilities can be improved

The only Nova Scotian red wines that I will drink come from this winery. They produce rich bold smoky reds that go fantastic with char broiled red meat. Typically we go there twice a year and purchase a boxes worth of diffrent reds. We dont buy any reds from the NSLC any more.I find their whites a little pale in flavour, to my tastes.They have a really neat blueberry wine that is delightfully full bodied and not at all fruity like you'd expect.There experimental wines are always interesting if not delightful.The winery is well layed out and the tour is fun. It amazes me how few barrels of wine they have ageing at any one time, given how much wine they sell.They have little events over the summer which are fun, I attended their sliders and cider" event this summer. It was well priced and we got to relax on their dog friendly patio on a nice warm summer day."

What an extremely disappointing experience…when we arrived, the hostess was on the phone and the place was empty. We strolled around looking at the artwork, waiting…and after 10 minutes, she motioned “the one minute” signal as she continued to talk on the phone.After another 5 minutes went by it became awkward, as the hostess was having a social conversation on the phone A gentleman arrived and made a purchase as she just kept talking without any word made to tge gentleman….as another 5 minutes went by…we felt silly for waiting too long and simply left…and…and she was still on the phone.Don’t bother with the drive to Petite Rivière, if you have the time visit the wineries around Wolfville …you won’t be disappointed with the first class service they offer you as soon as you enter the door.

Great wine, stunning view, wonderful staff, picnics encouraged, and dog friendly!We spent several hours here on a sunny Tuesday afternoon just sitting on the patio with our pup, enjoying the view, tasting all the wines, then having a glass of our chosen favourites. They don't serve food, but we had a few charcuterie-type snacks in the car which the staff (who were extremely friendly) said we were more than welcome to bring up and enjoy with the wine! Could not have asked for a better time.

My wife and I visited the vineyard during the summer of 2017 and we very much enjoyed our experience. The scenery was nice and the tasting was pleasant. We bought a bottle of the Churches point 2013" and at 11.5% thought it would be a good wine to age. I opened it tonight

We photographed a wedding here and were absolutely stoked about the beautiful vista from the vineyard, dance party on the terrace and just such a gorgeous setting for everyone to celebrate.

Visited in July 2019 and loved the shop, wines and cider! If going around, make sure you stop here! :-)

Sweet little vineyard with a tasting room, shop and seating overlooking the vines. Lovely Chardonnay.

Very charming location with a beautiful view! However, the wine is not good at all. We tried the 5 wine sampler, which certainly would be a good deal if the wine were palatable, and were quite disappointed. I was also disappointed that the tastings were provided in plastic glasses; beyond the obvious waste, they were blowing all over the table once empty.I will not be returning, nor purchasing their wines.
