For larger groups, we have group dining and private event offerings available. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions at admin@lightfootandwolfville.com or 902-542-7774.

about

Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyards, situated in the heart of the Annapolis Valley, is a family-owned farm winery dedicated to organic and biodynamic practices. In addition to nurturing 40 acres of grapevines for wine production, Lightfoot & Wolfville operates as a working farm, cultivating ingredients for the winery’s farm-to-table culinary program. The menu is seasonally focused with a coastal influence, highlighting flavours that best complement the estate's cool climate wines. Throughout the summer months, the kitchen centres around an outdoor wood-fired pizza oven, served adjacent to the vineyard, al fresco style, with breathtaking views of Cape Blomidon and the Minas Basin. In the fall, indoor seating provides a cozy atmosphere, while the open-air patios are available on pleasant days. Recognized by Canada's 100 Best as a "Best Destination Restaurant" (2023), Lightfoot & Wolfville is a must-visit destination for guests looking to connect with the unique terroir of Nova Scotia.

FAQ

Yes. We welcome well-behaved, on-leash dogs to our serviced patio dining area. As this is an open-air patio, it is open on good weather days only, so we are unable to accommodate advance reservations in this area. On fair weather days, patio walk-ins will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, in line with our restaurant hours. Please note that due to Nova Scotia Public Health regulations, only service dogs are allowed inside the hospitality facility or under the marquee tent. When you arrive at our hospitality facility, please send one of your party members inside the main entrance to check in with our concierge team about availability on the patio.

Yes! Our license allows us to welcome all ages to the property. We are family friendly and offer a kid's menu in our restaurant. Please indicate in your reservation notes if your family will require a highchair.

No. Our restaurant service is dine-in only. We are not able to accommodate take-out orders, unfortunately.

Yes, we always have menu options that are vegan or can be made vegan upon request.

Our hand-made pizza dough is naturally vegan and we can modify our pizzas to the best of our ability. For our vegan guests, we typically suggest a tomato or olive oil base pizza with a selection of fresh seasonal vegetables.

In terms of ingredients and processing aids, all of our wines are 100% vegan-friendly and contain no animal by-products. We use clay bentonite for fining. However, we are a certified biodynamic farm winery, which means that we do raise livestock for meat consumption and our livestock play a role in our winegrowing practices, as part of the self-sufficient biodynamic ethos. For instance, the manure of our livestock (cattle, sheep) form the basis of our compost program, which goes back to our vineyards and gardens as fertilizer. During harvest season, our pigs forage on pomace after pressing to help minimize waste.

Yes. In addition to Lightfoot & Wolfville wines, our beverage menu contains local craft beer, cider, cocktails, coffee and non-alcoholic options.

For parties of 11-30 guests, we offer reservations for a set menu, family style group dining experience.
