Lady of the Vine — Restaurant in Ogunquit

Lady of the Vine captures both the sophistication of fine wine culture and the relaxed elegance of coastal Maine.

From the moment you arrive, proprietor Donna Ali creates an atmosphere of genuine warmth and hospitality. Her passion for wine is electrifying and her knowledge runs impressively deep to include nuanced descriptions of specific vintages.

The service excellence extends beyond the proprietor herself. Team member Heather demonstrated exceptional attentiveness throughout our visit, anticipating needs and ensuring every detail was perfectly executed.

There was something particularly satisfying about sipping her Sperella while the ocean breeze drifts through the outdoor patio.
