Domaine du Nival is a small organic vineyard making natural wines with native yeasts and no fining or filtering: the Vidal sparkling Ces petits imprévus, Pinot noir Les Entêtés, Gamaret Un de ces quatre, Matière à discussion, and low-alcohol canned piquettes (Eau-de-vin) finished with wild-apple juice, sold in small online releases.
Domaine du Nival's bottled wines, including its sparkling Vidal (HTS 2204.10.00, "Sparkling grape wine"), can no longer ship to the US: the US import ban on listed Canadian alcohol took effect September 29, 2026, after a 50% Section 338 duty from August 22, 2026. The vineyard's own where-to-buy page says its wines can be found on the US market, in New York and Chicago, through the agency Vom Boden.Source: nival.ca, Sep 29, 2026
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
Made in Canada
The vineyard is at 424 rang Bord de l'eau Ouest in Saint-Louis, on the Yamaska, where it has planted 3 hectares of vines since 2013; its apples come from "Près d’une centaine de pommiers disséminés sur le bord de la Yamaska" harvested since 2019, and its wines are made on site with indigenous yeasts.

Nous sommes un petit vignoble familial et nous avons fait le choix d'une viticulture à échelle humaine. Notre production est par conséquent limitée et nos vins et cidre sont souvent difficile à trouver.
