See docs for directions. "Eileanan Breagha" (Gaelic for" beautiful islands") is Nova Scotia's most Northern estate winery with 192 acres situated on Marble Mountain, spanning from a mountaintop lake to the shore of Lake Bras D'or. The southeast exposure and salt water lake provide climate moderation creating a longer growing season from spring into late autumn. Additionally, the marble and limestone in the soil provides unique terroir fueling the approximately 15,000 vines with 15 varieties of grapes. Once the grapes are harvested, wine is produced on site in the 36X36 Red Barn, which also serves as a storage and sales facility. Eileanan Breagha produces 5 wines and is sold in the NSLC. A second barn (40X26'7) houses the farm equipment, tractors and has a workshop with storage. Under construction is the tasting room (18.5x36), positioned on the mountain to soak in the magnificent panoramic views of the Bras D'or islands and ready to unlock the future of the vineyard. Immediate plans include an interactive experience of the winery, with opportunity to purchase products and enjoy picnics & tours of the property. Long term growth could see expansion of overgrown old pastures, cottages/yurts, trails, and docks, to name a few ideas. The main house has been updated over time and is currently used as a residence. As the winery expands it could be converted to a gift shop, office, short term rental or caretaker's residence. See listing for dimensions.
