Casa Nova has been indulging in local fruits and has created numerous ciders using Nova Scotia heritage apples, said to be planted in 1606 when the earliest European settlers arrived. Within the same year, Order of Good Cheer was established in Port Royal, NS in by Samuel de Champlain. History tells us that early settlers and local Mi’kmaq would spend their days gathering foods to produce an evening’s feast, celebrated with music, friends and cheer. Casa Nova owners Karen and Brendan Enright were inspired by the order and continue to honour the origins of the east coast kitchen party with everything they do!

It was a cool, brisk morning at White Point following the 11th annual On The Rocks Sip, Swirl & Savour event in support of Ducks Unlimited!

Owners Karen and Brendan braved the fierce winds and stormy weather to get to Liverpool to spend the evening fundraising in support of Duck's Unlimited! 

​After an incredible evening with great friends, food & drinks, the event raised $2,100 towards Ducks Unlimited’s grade 4 wetland learning program!!

We're so happy we we're able to take part in the event and look forward to next year!

In spring 2018, we released our very first wine, Red Carpet! The red wine is a beautifully fruitful wine that you'll definitely wanting to roll out for all occasions! After Red Carpet, we launched Buddy's Craft Cider and  1606 Good Cheer Cider! The delicious ciders are a blend of heritage apples grown right here in the Annapolis Valley!

After that, during the summer of 2018 we launched three Cellos! We now offer Blueberry, Strawberry and Rhubarb Cellos. For those who don't know, Cello is a fortified wine that presents like a liqueur or dessert wine.  All three varieties are perfect for sipping on, or pairing with your favourite treat.

We had so much fun making Buddy's Cider and 1606, we decided to keep 'em coming! During the summer, we released our newest addition to the Buddy family, Blueberry Buddys! The rich sweet taste of our Nova Scotian blueberries with heritage apple was such a hit, we decided to make Casa Nova Cherry Cider, which we released in September 2018. 

All of the fruit we use in all of our beverages are of the finest quality, sourced from only Nova Scotian producers.

Keep an eye out for news of our new ones coming up!
