A Kentville cidery and restaurant in the old Cornwallis Inn railway hotel, making railway-named ciders from Annapolis Valley apples: The Flying Bluenose (dry), The Dayliner (semi-sweet), Train Hopper, Conductor Cranberry, seasonal cans such as Snowed In and Spicy Pineapple, and a cider piquette.
Maritime Express Cider Company's packaged cider (HTS 2206.00.15, "Cider, fermented, whether still or sparkling") 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. We found no public source on whether the cidery sold in the US; its shop ships within Canada.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 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.
