Vignobles du Nouveau-Brunswick
When most people think of Canadian wine, New Brunswick doesn't immediately come to mind — and that's exactly what makes discovering it so rewarding.
Cette province est une région viticole émergente unique en son genre au pays, façonnée par l’air côtier frais de la baie de Fundy, les sols d’argile rouge près du détroit de Northumberland, les vallées creusées par le fleuve Saint-Jean et la détermination inébranlable de vignerons convaincus que, lorsqu’on aime suffisamment quelque chose, on trouve toujours le moyen de le faire prospérer.
Façonnée par l’air frais de la baie de Fundy, les sols d’argile rouge, les vallées du fleuve Saint-Jean et la détermination de ses vignerons, la province développe une culture viticole bien à elle. On y cultive des cépages résistants au froid, comme le Marquette, le Frontenac et l’Osceola Muscat, en plus de produire une grande variété de vins de fruits à base de bleuets, de pommes, de poires et de cerises.
Ici, le vin est avant tout une histoire de passion. Plusieurs vignobles sont des entreprises familiales où la personne qui a planté les vignes est souvent celle qui vous accueille pour une dégustation. Chaque bouteille raconte les défis du climat, les récoltes marquantes et les années d’essais nécessaires pour trouver les cépages qui s’épanouissent dans le terroir néo-brunswickois.
Les vins d’ici sont offerts dans les succursales d’ANBL, dans certaines épiceries et directement chez les producteurs, où vous attendent visites, dégustations et expériences saisonnières.
Avant de vous déplacer : Many NB wineries operate seasonally or by appointment, and hours vary significantly. Always check the winery's website or social media before visiting, especially outside of summer months.
Region 1: Greater Moncton & Southeast NB
Pump House Brewery
5 Orange Ln, Moncton
607 Main St, Shediac
Heures :
Moncton: Sunday-Thursday 11:30am-11:00pm & Friday-Saturday 11:30am-12:00am
Shediac: Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm & Friday-Saturday 11am-12am
Their story: Founded by a husband-and-wife duo, Pump House poured its very first pint in downtown Moncton in 1999. Just six years in, they earned the title of "Canadian Brewery of the Year" at the Canadian Brewing Awards — a nod to what locals already knew. After 21 years, the Fraser family passed the torch to three local long-time friends, keeping the spirit of the brewery firmly rooted in the community it was built for. Most recently, the team expanded to Shediac, bringing the Pump House experience to the shore.
Ce qui les distingue : Pump House is famous for its Blueberry Ale — a Maritime staple that's become one of the most recognizable craft beers in the region. Their Crafty Radler has earned them a truly global reputation, picking up world-class recognition and a loyal following well beyond New Brunswick's borders. Pair your pint with something from the kitchen — the wood-fired oven pizzas are a fan favourite, and the full restaurant menu makes Pump House just as much a food destination as it is a craft beer one.
Pump House Fill Station
131 Mill Road, Moncton, NB
Heures :
Sunday-Tuesday 12:00pm-10:00 pm
Wednesday-Thursday 12:00pm-11:00pm
Friday-Saturday 12:00pm-12:00am
Their story: While the downtown location focuses on a full restaurant and brewpub experience, the Fill Station was designed with something different in mind — a laid-back taproom and community hub where locals can slow down and connect closer to the source.
Ce qui les distingue : Fresh brewery-direct growler fills and experimental small-batch releases that you won't find anywhere else — this is where craft lovers come to taste what's happening right at the heart of the brewery.
Flying Boats Brewing
700 Malenfant Blvd, Dieppe
Heures :
Thursday-Saturday 12:00pm-10:00 pm
Sunday 12:00pm-8:00pm
Monday-Wednesday 3:00pm-9:00 pm
Their story: Flying Boats gets its name from the massive commercial "flying boats" — Pan American transatlantic seaplanes that used Shediac Bay as a vital refueling hub during the golden age of aviation in the 1930s and 40s. Today, they keep that spirit of adventure alive by naming their brews after historic aircraft, trains, and ships connected to the Maritimes. Every pint comes with a little piece of history.
What They’re Known For:
With 20+ beers on rotation, Flying Boats has something for everyone — from the tropical and hazy Juice Box Ale and the hop-forward Dixie Clipper IPA, to the rich Red Cap Peanut Butter Stout and the tart Off the Rails Sour. Their taproom at 700 Malenfant Blvd in Dieppe is a destination in itself — a lively, welcoming space where you can watch the brewers work through the glass. Flying Boats has also made a serious name for themselves beyond traditional craft beer, with their Fly Craft non-alcoholic line and JetPop ready-to-drink coolers — the NA options are so well-crafted, you'd never know the difference.
CAVOK Brewing Co.
250 Dieppe Blvd, Dieppe, NB
Hours:
Sunday-Tuesday 12:00pm-10:00pm
Wednesday-Saturday 12:00pm-12:00am
Their story: CAVOK Brewing Co. (pronounced "Cav-Oh-Kay") was born from a shared passion between two air traffic controllers and longtime friends, Serge Nadeau and Serge Basque, who turned their homebrewing hobby into a full-scale craft brewery in Dieppe in 2016. The name is pulled straight from their world — an aviation acronym meaning "Ceiling and Visibility OK" — and that same clarity and precision carries through into every beer they brew.
What They’re Known For: CAVOK is known for their aviation-themed taproom and a rotating lineup of exceptionally well-crafted beers that cover every style. Their signature Léger Corner Honey Blonde Ale is a fan favourite — sweet, floral, and smooth — while the East Coast Pirates West Coast IPA brings a bold, hop-forward punch. For something unique, the Baie Sur L'Amer Raspberry Sour and the Foxtrot 33 Oatmeal Stout show just how wide their range really goes. CAVOK also offers a golf simulator at their taproom, making it a one-of-a-kind spot to grab a pint and swing a club under the same roof. And come summer, don't miss their seasonal pop-up at Aboiteau Beach — a stunning patio location that's absolutely worth the trip.
Magnetic Hill Winery
Loose Wire Winery
860, ch. Front Mountain, Moncton
Heures :
Du lundi au mercredi : 12 h à 20 h
Du jeudi au samedi : 12 h à 22 h
Dimanche : 12 h à 20 h
Leur histoire : Magnetic Hill Winery began operations in 2005 out of a restored 1867 homestead perched on a ridge overlooking Moncton. The Everett family started out making fruit wines, and over time began experimenting with grape varieties that could actually survive New Brunswick's soil and winters — a slow process of trial and error that's grown the estate into the largest winery in New Brunswick. Today it's a huge tasting room with a patio overlooking the city, an on-site guesthouse, a full event space for weddings and private bookings, and vineyard tours, with products now sold across the Maritimes and into Ontario.
Loose Wire Winery est établi au même endroit, mais demeure un projet distinct. Lancé par Zach Everett, vigneron de deuxième génération, ce projet en petits lots vise à repousser les possibilités offertes par les cépages maritimes. Un espace qui lui sera entièrement consacré, situé à environ un kilomètre du domaine principal, est toujours en préparation.
Ce qui les distingue : Magnetic Hill covers just about every style of wine you could ask for — fruit wines, dessert wines, and traditional method sparkling, alongside their well-known rhubarb-infused selections. One of their bestsellers, the OC Osceola by the Sea, leans right into grapes grown by New Brunswick's coastal terroir. Tastings, flights, and charcuterie round out the experience. Loose Wire, meanwhile, has already picked up award recognition of its own with a small-batch, experimental lineup that's quickly building a name for pushing what NB wine can be. Find their products at the winery, ANBL and select other agency stores.
Verger Belliveau Orchard (Crooked Wine)
1209 Rue Principale, Memramcook
Heures :
On-Farm Store & Café:
tous les jours, de 10 h à 18 h (Saison : de la mi-août à la fin octobre)
U-Pick Operations:
tous les jours, de 10 h à 17 h (Saison : après la fête du Travail, en septembre, jusqu’à la fin octobre, si la météo le permet)
Leur histoire : The orchard's roots go back to 1932, when Sébastien Bourgeois returned from the U.S. during the Depression with a mission to revive his home village. He and a small group of locals planted the first 100 McIntosh and Cortland apple trees along the Petitcodiac River Valley — land that's been farmed by Acadian families for over two centuries. That apple-growing legacy is exactly what led them into winemaking: alongside their well-known ciders, they started turning their own hand-picked pears, apples, and blueberries into a small lineup of fruit wines under the Crooked label.
Ce qui les distingue : Their Crooked wine line, made from fruit grown right on the property — including a pear wine, a blueberry wine, a sparkling apple wine, and the Massé. Beyond the wine, the orchard is also a popular U-pick destination with a farm store and café offering ciders, juices, and other local products.
110, rue Principale, Memramcook
Heures :
Lundi et mardi : fermé
Du mercredi au samedi : de 12 h à 20 h
Dimanche : de 12 h à 17 h
Their Story: Crow & Vine is owned and run by Christo and Eugene, a husband-and-husband team who emigrated from South Africa in 2021, spent three years in Vancouver, and then traded the West Coast for the East. They opened the doors in July 2024 on a 6-acre vineyard planted with cold-climate varietals, producing 4,000–5,000 litres of wine a year — small in scale, big on character. Their approach is simple: take the wine seriously, but not themselves.
What They’re Known For: A few standout small-batch pours, like the crowd-favourite Juicy Lucy and the bone-dry Petitcodiac Blanc, but the real draw is the whole afternoon — grab a pizza or a charcuterie board, settle onto the patio overlooking the vines, and make a day of it. Vineyard tours are available too, and for those who want to stay the night, Crow & Vine offers two private wine-barrel accommodations, each with its own wood-fired hot tub overlooking the property.
239, ch. Babineau, Saint-André-LeBlanc
Hours:
Monday–Thursday 9am–7pm
Vendredi : de 9 h à 17 h
Samedi et dimanche : de 9 h à 19 h
Leur histoire : Vinerie DesFruits started in 2017 with a fruit orchard planted near Cap-Pelé, built around the bet that cold-hardy berries could do what traditional grapes can't in this climate. The estate grows blackcurrant, red and white currants, honeyberries, saskatoon berries, and cherries, with every step from orchard to bottle happening on-site.
What They’re Known For: Hand-bottled, award-winning fruit wines, mistelles, and dessert crèmes — including local favourites like the Crème de camerise (haskap) and Vin de gadelle blanche (white currant). Visitors can also walk the orchard and pick their own honeyberries, redcurrants, and blackcurrants in season.
940 Route 495, Mundleville
Heures :
Du lundi au jeudi : de 10 h à 17 h
Vendredi et samedi : de 10 h à 19 h
Dimanche : de 10 h à 17 h
Leur histoire : Founded in 2005 by Alan Hudson on land his family had already called home for 20 years, Richibucto River became the northernmost vineyard of its size in the Maritimes. A brutal winter in 2009 wiped out much of the crop, forcing the family to rebuild from scratch. Today it's a 22-acre riverside vineyard growing more than 20 varieties of hybrid grapes, with Alan's son Derek now leading winemaking, daughter Brittany running sales and marketing, and the rest of the family pitching in.
What They’re Known For: Estate-grown, hand-harvested wines made entirely on-site — including their gold-medal Maréchal Foch, alongside L'Acadie Blanc, Osceola Muscat, and Frontenac. There's also a patio menu for those who want to make a full afternoon of a visit.

Leur histoire : Alan Gillis opened Gillis of Belleisle in 2003 on a hillside at the head of Belleisle Bay, about an hour's drive from Saint John, Moncton, or Fredericton. Rather than stick with safer options, he tore out the existing vines and experimented with hybrid grapes until he found ones that could actually handle the New Brunswick climate.
What They’re Known For: Their double-gold award-winning Amarone-style Premium Red, along with a lineup of hybrid grape wines built to pair with local food.
4, Blvd. Sunset, McLeod Hill
Heures :
L’hydromellerie fonctionne principalement comme une microproduction saisonnière. Ses produits sont offerts dans certains marchés régionaux et auprès de partenaires spécialisés en produits artisanaux.
Leur histoire : Sunset Heights was licensed in October 2013 by husband-and-wife duo John Way and Deb Wilson. John handles mead-making — he's been brewing for over 25 years and eventually caught the mead revival — while Deb runs the apiary, managing the bee colonies that supply the honey behind every batch. It's a true two-person operation: John jokes that when Deb talks bees, he says "yes, ma'am," and when he talks mead, she mostly just lets him have it.
What They’re Known For: Small-batch, seasonal meads across two lines — the still Sunset Heights meads, including the Honeycone hopped cyser and Sunset Blues blueberry melomel, and the carbonated Pollen Angels session meads. The meadery has picked up six medals at the Mazer Cup, including a full sweep of the Session Sweet category in 2016.

Heures :
De juin à octobre : tous les jours, de 10 h à 17 h 30
Winter Hours (January-April) By Appointment
Leur histoire : Ed Mantell's family were wine producers in Europe before immigrating to Canada in 1947, and winemaking was always a family affair — Ed learned the craft from his father growing up. Decades later, with help from New Brunswick's Department of Agriculture, Ed took to growing wild blueberries on his own property in Albert County and turned them into wine. Waterside opened in July 2006 as the county's first cottage winery, with his wife Linda handling the business and sales side from the on-site store.
What They’re Known For: Blueberry and rhubarb wines in dry, sweet, semi-sweet, and sparkling styles — all fermented, filtered, and bottled on-site. The winery also picked up back-to-back Best Red Wine awards at the Savour Food & Wine competition in 2008 and 2009, and it's just 10 minutes from Fundy National Park.

Leur histoire : Matt and Angela Guptill established Happy Knight Wines in early 2011 on land at the head of Belleisle Bay in Hatfield Point, originally settled in 1784 — eight generations later, it's still the only piece of Loyalist-granted land in the area held by the founding family. To get the winemaking right, they partnered with Dominic Rivard, a fruit-wine specialist who's worked with producers across Canada and internationally.
What They’re Known For: A lineup of 100% Maritime-grown fruit wines and mead, including the Black Currant, Cranberry, Apple, Crème de Cassis, and Black Mead — a honey mead infused with organic black currants.

Leur histoire : Noaska is a wine label launched by the Coopérative forestière du Nord-Ouest, a co-op based in Clair that's been marketing fruits and maple products since 2010. Looking to build something new around the haskap berry — a small, vitamin-rich fruit that thrives in the Upper Saint John River Valley — the co-op brought in oenologist Dominic Rivard, who's worked on wine projects around the world, to develop the lineup. Their first wine, the Baker Buck, was bottled in October 2022 under the bilingual mantra "Good by nature" (Bon de nature).
What They’re Known For: Une gamme grandissante de vins de fruits certifiés casher, végétaliens et sans gluten, élaborés autour de la camerise. Chaque cuvée porte le nom d’un animal de la région. Les visiteurs peuvent découvrir les installations et déguster les vins sur place, à Clair.
