Wine & Dine: Luckett Vineyards

Luckett Vineyards resides in the Gaspereau Valley overlooking some of the most stunning views in the area. Sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of wine accompanied with a delicious meal on the patio, try some samples inside or stroll through the vines to the red phone box. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and will ensure that your time there is memorable. Pete Luckett, entrepreneur extraordinaire, can often be found in the store conversing with customers. I’ve always been impressed with Luckett’s work ethic and his ability to create a pleasant and exciting environment for all customers.

There’s a large selection of wine on the menu with something for everyone. Why not try the Phone Box Red, Rosetta or Tidal Bay? There are many options both red and white to satisfy your palate. As far as the food goes… it’s delicious. I have a lot of dietary restrictions and it can be really discouraging and challenging to eat out, however, the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating. I can even eat the sandwiches there (bonus)! They have a tasty gluten-free, dairy-free bread that can be substituted in their sandwiches. My favourites are ‘The Churchill’ and ‘Valley Panini’ (pictured below) sandwiches. But for those with less restrictive diets, the sliders looked amazing (and tasted great too, according to my mom) as well as the cheese and bread boards.

Don’t leave without venturing through the vines to the red phone box. Snap that iconic photograph and call a loved one. Take in the breathtaking views and stop into the store before you leave. Feel free to sample some (more) wine and try the olives too. I also swear by their olive oil and always have a bottle on the go in my kitchen. Last but not least, don’t forget to buy some wine to take home.
