Once an apple orchard, the vineyards, planted in 1996, thrive on the ideal south-facing slope. A successful harvest in 1999 established the Gaspereau Valley as an ultimate grape growing region. Successive plantings and bountiful harvest led to the much anticipated opening of Gaspereau Vineyards as a winery in 2004. The winery opened this spring to celebrate its fifth season.
