About

Wine Kings was established in 2013 and is the leading craft wine making and home brewing store of the South Shore!

Mike & Nadine

Mike & Nadine both grew up in small communities on the East Coast of Canada in Nova Scotia. Nadine has had business ownership experience for 40 years now as owner of “At Nadine’s” hair salon. Mike had worked for nearly 30 years at Mersey Paper Company before it shut down in 2012, but the timing was perfect... At that time, the government was just then beginning to allow "Ferment On Premises” businesses to open up in the province. Mike, Nadine and some friends acted fast and Wine Kings Inc. was established.

Seven years later, Mike and Nadine are sole owners of Wine Kings. The business is well known throughout Southwestern Nova Scotia as the top destination of supplies for the home wine, beer and spirit maker. Wine Kings also offers “Ferment on Premise” for those that do not wish to make their wine at home.

When asked what their favourite wines are, Nadine will tell you she loves the Classic Italian Pinot Grigio and the Reserve California Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend. Mike will tell you that his is the Private Reserve California Zinfandel.

We Give Where We Live

Wine Kings proudly helps to raise funds for the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation. Our customers have the option to round-up their purchase amount to the nearest dollar or even provide a donation of their choice if they feel compelled to do so.

The TELUS Friendly Future Foundation was founded in 2018 and is an independent registered charity. The charity's mission is to help create a friendlier future for Canadians through community, provincial and national charitable grants. Thanks to the generosity of TELUS, the charity's founding donor, all administrative expenses are covered and therefore 100% of donations go directly to charity.

The TELUS Friendly Future Foundation funds health & technology focused charitable programs in communities across Canada. Funding priorities include supporting vulnerable populations through access to digital connectivity. Building healthier communities by supporting public health initiatives and providing immediate care to communities needing critical relief.
