Society for American Wines - Halifax Chapter

Halifax Chapter

Halifax, NS The Halifax, Nova Scotia Chapter of the Society for American Wines (SAW) meets several times during the year to explore the wines of the United States through educational and fun tastings, special events, and fine dinners.

We offer tastings of carefully selected wines with commentary (sometimes by the winery representatives or wine makers themselves) and encourage the involvement of members. These tastings often involve dinners at local restaurants or clubs. Thus, the close ties between food and wine are maintained and both are enhanced. In this way, good wine is not only associated with good food but the union takes on a social character.

Upcoming events:

Aug 22nd - Annual Picnic at the Bedford Basin Yacht Club
September - Annual General Meeting

Please note: Our event cancellation policy is a minimum of 72 hours notice
or the member and guest will be responsible for full payment.

California Wine Fair

California wines For some, the high point of our season is the annual California Wine Fair. At a convenient location in Halifax, the industry tastes during the afternoon, while the public is invited to compare wines from forty plus wineries. The atmosphere is relaxed, the scene appropriate for discussion and evaluation. The wines, the company and some attractive light food make the evening memorable. Come and explore with us the remarkable diversity of high-quality Californian Wines, many of them unavailable in Nova Scotia. Join us and take advantage of an opportunity to expand your knowledge and increase your enjoyment of fine wines.
