Muwin Estate Wines makes Bulwark craft ciders from a five-apple Annapolis Valley blend (Original, Blush, Orchard Peach, Blood Orange, Strawberry Rhubarb, Wild Blackberry and a Bulwark Ice Cider), along with Muwin fruit wines such as Wild Blueberry and Cranberry and sparkling Fruitsecco. It pours them at its Bulwark Cider House on Dresden Row in Halifax.
Over the years, Muwin has successfully exported its products to various markets including the United States, Germany, UK, China, South Korea, and Taiwan.Source: muwinestate.com
Bulwark's packaged cider (HTS 2206.00.15, "Cider, fermented, whether still or sparkling") and Muwin's packaged fruit wines 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 company says it has sold there before: "Over the years, Muwin has successfully exported its products to various markets including the United States, Germany, UK, China, South Korea, and Taiwan."
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.
