Wining and Dining with the Luckett Family

‘Pete’ is a name synonymous with fine fare in Nova Scotia. His culinary explorations began as a stall owner in Nottingham, England at the age of 14, and led him around the world before he chose to settle in the Maritimes. Here he formed one of Atlantic Canada’s best known and loved brands: Pete’s. “Pete’s”is a multi-million dollar retail and wholesale operation with locations in Saint John, Moncton, Bedford and Halifax. Whether it’s new business challenges, or displaying perfect produce, Pete keeps it fresh!

Pete launched a brand new adventure on July 1st, 2011. Following years of planning, Luckett Vineyards was opened for business- bottling unique varieties of wine that thrive in Gaspereau Valley’s special maritime micro-climate. Always looking with an entrepreneurial eye towards new adventures, he sees the vineyard as a true calling.
