Beausoleil Farmstead Winery & Cidery - Port Williams, Nova Scotia

Ellen Hart

Another amazing addition to the Port Williams loop. How did this gem stay off my radar for so long
Setting aside the amazing wines and ciders (ooooo that Hopped Chard got me for life), be prepared for welcoming and knowledgeable staff and beautiful views of rolling farmland.
I swear every guest that entered had their day get a bit better as they walked in. That’s the true charm of Beausoleil.
The owners are truly excited about their product and now I am too!!
Two faves from my tasting are the Hopped Chard and Reverie.
If you haven't visited, please do so immediately and with friends.

A totally enjoyable experience! Melanie and Jake’s passion for their craft shows in both the wines and their beautifully designed and maintained property. Our tastings of wine and wine/cider blends were delicious.
Don’t hesitate to stop here…. especially if you can stay a while in the amazing guest house!!

I recently visited this spot with a small group of friends as part of a wine tour for my birthday. It was such a fun experience.

From the moment we walked in, I knew it would be a great time. The location is perfectly nestled in the Valley and has bright lighting. It is owned by a husband and wife duo, that creatively coined it Beausoleil. The beverages brings together two magical experiences with a fusion of cider and wine. Not only were the drinks crisp but also extremely refreshing. I would say they make the perfect summer drinks (whether you are at home, on a patio or out with friends).

The spot is quaint, which in my opinion makes it perfect for small, intimate groups. When we first arrived, we were warmly greetings by the smiling face of Jake, one of the owners. He was nothing short of friendly, professional and welcoming. He took us on a short welcome journey down memory lane, as he educated us on how it all began. He was an absolute treat. He even threw in a few jokes. Then we wandered into the winery, where we met his lovely wife, Melanie. She was equally as welcoming, very nice and professional. It was clear that this lovely wine-der was her brain child. Just like a mother, she boasted about her wines/ciders and shared her experiences about the market. She shared why each wine was her 'favorite' and special for its own reasons. She answered every question we had, and it was evident how passionate she was the entire time. They both made the experience feel so homely that it was really hard for us to leave without carrying tons of wine with us as a reminder of the experience.

If you are ever in the Valley, please check them out! You will not regret it. The wine is crisp, refreshing and the perfect balance of sweetness; and if you aren't sure how to pair, let Melanie and Jake help you out! There's also an AirBNB attached alongside the building. It is absolutely breathtaking and ideal so guests are never too far away from the fun!

Thanks again Melanie and Jake for such a lovely visit!! You both made my birthday that much more special.

Well worth the stop! It takes a little more planning to fit into an itinerary, with the reduced hours, but this is because this wonderful place is run by a husband/wife duo who work very hard to make delicious products. We loved everything we tried, and really enjoyed talking with the owners.
My favorite was the sangria cider!

Wonderful winery! So inclusive. Wheelchair accessible. Owner and team were gracious hosts and we had the most amazing time. LGBT+ super friendly. As a member of a mixed race and queer friendly group we had an amazing time and we're treated like family. I would highly recommend visiting this vineyard. Fantastic experience!!!

This is must visit location on any valley visit! Melanie and Jake are two of the most incredible people and offer an amazing mix of flavours to sample. Stop by, you won’t be disappointed and most likely will take a few bottles home!

We visited Beausoleil on a whim and we are so glad we did, we met the owners who were incredibly friendly, knowledgable and enthusiastic about their vinous ciders. The mix of wine and ciders is something we’ve never experienced and it was glorious! The farm has such a beautiful setting and we wouldn’t hesitate to visit again- don’t miss!
