WINE PROGRAM

When it comes to our wine list, our intent was simple: create a small and succinct wine list with a focus on classic varietals and regions as well as new discoveries from around the world.  Most importantly, a program that highlights wines that are well priced, well matched to the cuisine, and taste great!

Whether you’re a collector or just wine-curious, our wine list’s easygoing style makes trying something new feel effortless. We love encouraging guests to explore a little—maybe even step outside your comfort zone with a glass you’ve never had before. It’s all part of the fun.

We are proud to be recognized with the 2025 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence—a great honor for our team and a win for wine lovers here in Lewes, Delaware.

MORE ABOUT OUR WINES

New to the list is a phenomenal Chardonnay from Slovenia called Medved. It’s expressive, elegant, creamy and perfect with any of our seafood dishes.

We’ve also incorporated a few interesting wines from Italy such as Susumanniello, which comes from the southern region of Puglia and is similar to Primitivo, also known as Zinfandel.

And don’t even get us started with Natural wines that are still fermenting in the bottle. We have a couple in the list and they are fascinating!

We’ve chosen all wines carefully to make sure they are well received as well as wines that our guests might not typically encounter.

WHAT’S NEXT?

At Lewes Oyster House, our staff is always eager to learn and pass along the knowledge to our guests. We are always tasting new wines and incorporating our favorites onto the list. So far all of them have been well received!
