3 weeks agoMy visit to Peller Estates Winery and Restaurant was an absolute delight! Thanks to the beautiful weather, simply being there was a wonderful experience in itself. The wines were delicious, and our guide, Johnny, was exceptionally professional and friendly, making the tasting experience truly informative and enjoyable. A particular highlight was the opportunity to sample ice wine in a dedicated special area – that really stood out! Don't forget, the tasting glass you're given is yours to keep after the tour, so make sure to take it home as a souvenir. If you're looking to explore expansive vineyards, enjoy delicious wines, and see a pristine winery, I highly recommend Peller Estates. It's a fantastic place for wine lovers and those looking for a beautiful day out.

a week agoI just want to say I had the best table on the whole patio. ❤️ It was my birthday and I really wanted something special. We had the little pool right in front of us and a view to the vineyards. The best! The only thing that is a little sad, but this will not reflect in 5 stars that I want to leave is that after a 3 course meal for 90$ per person I left a little hungry. And I am a small, 45 kg girl. And we also had a starter additional to the 3 course meal. But maybe it was just me that day. 🙈 All I wanted for my birthday is to get out of the city and have dinner with a nice view and the restaurant delivered that 100%! Thank you!!!

3 months agoVisited Peller Estates last week with my family and it was absolutely incredible. The building and grounds are incredibly well maintained and immaculate. I recommend visiting in the spring and very likely in the fall. The waitresses were incredibly patient and knowledgeable about the menu and helped family members make amendments to the menu based on allergies. From what I observed you can even enjoy your meal outside and enjoy the absolutely breathtaking and great wine smelling environment. World class architecture. There are even walking paths around the Estate to explore. The food was absolutely delicious and highly recommend everything you see. We didn't do any drinking, but would absolutely try a few of the specials next time I'm up. If you're visiting the Niagara Falls Region or Niagara on the lake wine area, you need to swing by! Also 100% wheelchair accessible and family friendly. Plenty of parking.

3 weeks agoWas here for a wine tasting tour a couple weeks ago and it was an amazing experience. Our tour guide, Chelsea was knowledgeable about the region, different types of wine and the winemaking process, she was also really funny and made the whole experience super fun. We could take our time in each of the different areas of the tour to take photos, walk around a bit, etc. My favourite part was the -10° room experience to try the ice wine (while booking it says to bring a jacket but they do have a lot of jackets outside the room for you to wear) and being able to touch the grapes on the grapevine. For $45/p, the experience is totally worth it, you get to try four different types of wine and learn so much. You also get a 20% off coupon to use at their on property store. The property is also beautiful if you want to stay after and explore the restaurant and bars.

a week agoWe did the “greatest winery tour” with Liz and had a great experience! After visiting more than a hundred wineries over the years, we still learned new insights on our tour with Liz. It was well paced, the pours were substantial, and the sampling of wines was great! She was funny and kind and made a great tour for our group.
