a month 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 agoMy family and I visited this winery in early April. My sister and I participated in the wine/taste tour. Cam was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job. He was very knowledgeable and at the same time kept it very lively and fun. All the wines were very tasty and the dessert/ice wine was so sweet. The grounds and building are stunning as well.

a month agoOur second time visiting Canada, celebrating our 2 year Wedding Anniversary! We visited Pellar Estate for lunch in celebration of our union. Our over all experience was indeed enjoyable. Our server was very professional, attentive, knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The quality of food was exceptional, well executed and presented. I would rate this memorable experience a 10/10. Taking this opportunity to thank the staff who made this all possible. Will most certainly be back, to partake in another great dinning experience. Best regards, Nick 🇯🇲 and Danny 🇺🇸

2 months agoThis was the best winery I visited in the region. I was able to see the cellars, see the vineyards, and hear some explanations about the production process. I visited the 🧊Icewine bar - it was a great experience, although I really recommend that you taste your icewine at a temperature that is not too cold. Icewine, like all wine, needs a pleasant temperature of around 12°C so that you can feel all the aromas and appreciate the quality. I also recommend that you take some time to do a small tasting after your visit, so that you have the incredible opportunity to try the Oak Vidal and the Cabernet Franc Icewine, which are spectacular. I really liked the quality of the Icewine produced here, the aroma is persistent and the acidity is balanced.

a month agoWe had a fantastic experience at Peller Estates Winery in Niagara Falls! We did the wine tasting and tour, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Cam, was absolutely amazing — incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He made the entire experience both educational and entertaining, offering great insight into the winery’s history and winemaking process. The wines were excellent, especially the red varieties, which stood out as our favorites. Each tasting was thoughtfully selected, and it’s clear that a lot of passion and care go into their production. One of the most unique and memorable parts of the tour was the Icewine Room — an experience you definitely don’t want to miss! We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area — and if possible, request Cam as your guide. He made the experience truly unforgettable.
