Along stormy Nova Scotia coast, a winery born of difficult soil

Even in a place known for beautiful, stormy seas, the Minas Basin on the eastern part of the Bay of Fundy stands out.

The highest tide ever recorded took place here, and the ferocious currents include the Dory Rips, three unstoppable rip tides slamming into each other with abandon like nowhere else in the world.
