# Wine and Dine


The wineries around Wolfville are wonderful. We ventured to several wineries located in the Grand Pre/ Gasperau region. We started the morning at Gaspereau, had a picnic snacklebox lunch and played a few games of washer toss. Drove a small ways down the Road to Benjamin Bridge, then off to Acadie for some sparkling. We then travelled to Luckett with its famous telephone booth and headed back closer to Wolfville. We stopped at Lightfoot, spent time on the deck at Mercator and finally arrived at Grand Pre where we sat on the deck for the tasting and headed in to their fantastic restaurant, Le Caveau for an exquisite meal. After dinner we went back to the Micro Boutique apartments for the night. Overall I highly recommend doing your own wine tour, however you must be mindful of having a designated driver.
