LIGHTFOOT & WOLFVILLE | WOLFVILLE OR NAPA VALLEY?

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being given a private tour of Lightfoot & Wolfville Vineyard, similar to the one that a bride and groom would receive should they wish to have this beautiful location as their wedding venue. I remember the first time I visited the vineyard, I thought to myself, “is this Wolfville or Napa Valley?”, it took my breath away.

Family-owned by 8th generation Annapolis Valley farmers, their farm-to-table philosophy celebrates local cuisine by forming partnerships with regional producers and artisans. The grounds are exquisite, and the entire property overlooks the Minas Basin, in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia. The view is like no other, and provides the most spectacular sunset with clear view of the western sky.

The facility itself is modern and rustic with a warm organic feel. It is the perfect backdrop to any wedding, as you would require minimal decor. Lightfoot & Wolfville can accommodate 80-240 guests for a wedding, and the major bonus is that their rental fee includes the locally hand made Halifax Harvest Tables, chiavari chairs, linens, dishware and stemware, so there is no need to rent these things, which is an extremely helpful and cost effective feature. It is a one stop shop for weddings, rain or shine. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgable, it is just like being among family.

The possibilities are endless at Lightfoot & Wolfville, and your wedding will be in very good hands. If you would like to see the space to see how it would fit into your wedding vision, you can request a full wedding package and tour HERE.
