Peller Estates Winery And Restaurant

My wife and I stopped in at Peller Estates on our January 2025 NOTL trip to do a tour. We wanted to experience one of the “big name” wineries on our trip after doing a bunch of smaller wineries. Chelsea was an absolute star of a tour guide! She had such an effective style of presenting that made the tour so much fun and her wit was hilarious. She made the tour experience top notch. The tour itself was neat- you walk around the vineyard, see the barrel cellar, then end in the ice box (which is like negative something Celsius) to try their ice wine. I’m glad we did the tour at Peller Estates and it was definitely memorable- many thanks to Chelsea!

Visited Peller Estates winery on a weekday in November and was not very busy . Booked Greatest winery tour for 4 and tour started on time with guide giving in depth explanations about the wines to be tried. Tour lasted about 45 minutes and ended with visit to ice cave. Nice “igloo” style room with plenty of ice wine and nice decor. We continued to wine store/bar and tried additional wines as part of the Wine Club. Very much enjoyed everything.

Excellent winery to enjoy a tour at! All of their tour hosts are very knowledgeable and teach you the history of the family, estate, and wine in a fun and engaging way. You're usually welcomed with a glass of their popular sparkling wine, you'll meet everyone else on the tour and learn a little bit about each other which makes it more personable. Then you'll go down through the cellar to see the aging wine in oak barrels, out into the vineyard to see the current state of growing grapes, and then finally finish with a chilly visit into their walk-in, ice wine room. Warm jackets are provided but it wouldn't hurt to bring earmuffs/gloves of your own. It's remarkable inside - definitely a one of a kind experience that we haven't seen anywhere else. You'll try around 4-5 different wines over the course of the tour and they're very happy to provide an extra glass if one was your favourite. We went as a couple but I'd recommend this for solo wine enjoyers and larger groups alike.

We had a wonderful experience at this winery! The 5-course tasting menu paired with their selection of wines was delicious. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and paired perfectly with the wines, enhancing the overall experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the meal. The only slight drawback was that the service was a bit slow at times, but the quality of the food and wine made up for the wait. Overall, highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable culinary experience.

Originally booked a table for 4 at the restaurant and when my friends decided to join me, I called to add 3 more ppl to my booking (2-3 days prior to the date). The restaurant staff told me that there was nothing available and couldn’t do that. I said I could do earlier or later than my original time booked. So she took a minute and then came back to tell me that yeah could arrange table for 7ppl at 12 instead of 12:30pm. So I was thankful for the lady’s help. Then we went there and we were the only party in the main dining room until 1:30pm (and then another table for 2 came in)…. 🤔. I thought that was just funny. If one wants to order the tasting menu, then the entire group must order the same. Given my teens and some friends didn’t want to eat so much, we decided to go for a-la-cart. Some dishes were ok and some were less (my friend got a lobster linguini and a bunch of pasta was stuck together uncooked - not quite acceptable for this type of restaurant but anyways we didn’t complain). If you like presentation and nice amber, then it was above average. If you need very good service (they couldn’t split the bill for us, and when we told them it was for the occasion of my friend’s son’s birthday, the waitress brought some sparkling wine for us and we told her that oh, but the birthday boy is not old enough to drink, so she just poured the adults a glass which we were happy about, and eventually no offer of any dessert or anything for the birthday boy but we were quite full by then and so didn’t order any desserts) and a more cosy setting, then there are better alternatives in the area (my favourite is still Vineland, just my own opinion).

I visited the Winery on Oct.12nd for the greatest wineray tour. Our guide is Cam, he is very nice and knowledge able. The tour was around 1 hour, I tasted 4 types of wines. The highlight was the cold room at the end of the tour. I tasted the ice wine in the cold room and it is a great place for photoes. I was able to learn quite a lot of knowledge about wine with this tour. I like it a lot.

Went there for a university trip and we got a package of a bit wine tasting + the company’s presentation. At the end we had a taste of ice wine in a -10 Celsius room. The foods was okay, the wines were not good if you compared them with wines from Europe or US. The weather was nice so we also went outside to look at some grapes vines.

Peller Estates is definitely a must see and experience place. The atmosphere, the views and of course the wine selections are spot on. This was our favorite winery. The only bummer is I was just on the site days after my visit to have wine delivered and I just realized that children 3 and over there is a fee for the 45 minute wine tour. I asked Peter (I think that was his name) the concierge about my two yr old being free and was told I would still need to pay for her. Kind of weird. Had a great time with Chelsea on the tour, thank you so much!

Finally made it back after 10+ years. And nothing has changed! My wife and I came with my folks to enjoy this place and they don't disappoint. Walked inside and it was as I remembered it. We were lead to our reservation with their friendly service team member. They're on the ball and friendly. The ambiance is very quiet and great for chats. Food is very good and as I remembered it. They do use very good ingredients that are locally sourced. Overall great experience!

So COOL. We wanted to try a winery or two in our way back from Niagara Falls and this spot did NOT disappoint! Such a beautiful vineyard, and well layed out. You can walk in at any time for a wine tasting (space permitting) or to eat at either their restaurant (a 3 course meal style spot) or wine garden with a "Wine by the glass" bar. Ent of open space to take pictures or lounge around sit. Your wine and in a great evening, a beautiful sunset. The girls weren't as present to deal with as I've encountered around Canada. They seems bothered with questions and over the day, but we had no issues overall. The tour though was the highlight of our visit. Our tour guide Danny was THE best. Factual, honest, funny and just a pleasure to be around. The toy takes about an hour and they take you through the vineyard, the barrel fleet and the -10 degree freezer where they keep the Ice wine. You get to sample about 4 different wines and are taken through the wine making process and the history of the estates. Make sure to make reservations for everything (but you can walk in for the tastings) and parking is free. It's definitely a must try!

Reserved the greatest winery tour for my party. We were visiting Niagara Falls and did a little day trip to Niagara on the Lake to taste some wines as the area is famous for producing icewine. The staff were all very helpful and knowledgeable about the estate and wines. The 45 minute walking tour included 4 glasses of wine when we went as well as a souvenir stemless wineglass that we tried all our wines in. The tour started with a glass of sparkling wine near the check-in area. Then a walk to their wine cellar where we had a glass of white wine. After a quick peek at the grape vines (it was winter when I went) we came back in to try a red wine. It was great learn about the sustainability measures the local wine industry is taking. Like they're using the by-product as fertilizer and moved away from corks. We finished the experience by going into the 10below ice room/bar to sample their icewine. The room was super cool experience. There's grapes frozen into the wall along with the wine cycle etched into the wall. It was a great place to end the tour. My party and I enjoyed learning about wine, sampling different wines and loved the experience.

The ambience is absolutely spectacular. The service was as good as it gets. The presentation of the dishes was dazzling. Four of the five dishes were perfectly done. The fifth dish, was disappointing. The selection is a little bit limited, but what they have is extremely well done, and the experience, overall, was delightful.

Continues to be one of the most enjoyable upscale dining experiences in NOTL. Extremely well trained professional servers who are accommodating without being pretentious. Food is always presented with detailed verbal descriptions for each course, beautifully plated, and made with flavorful high quality ingredients. Come to Peller if you want an experience; look elsewhere if you want quick nourishment. A special place!

What a great experience!!! Enjoyed some cocktails and a charcuterie board after our wine tasting and it was gorgeous to just sit outside and enjoy the views of the vineyard. Our waitress was nice but seemed a bit forgotten as she didn't come check on us until it was time to pay the bill. I would still visit again on my next visit to Niagara.

Just a short 25 mins from Niagara Falls is this beautiful winery! We pre-purchased a spot on their tour (highly recommend to do ahead as many times were sold out). The tour takes you through areas of the gorgeous outdoor lawn and vines before going underground into the cellar then ending in the ice room that's -10 degrees celsius. We enjoyed the rose, Sauvignon blanc, meritage and ice wine. Our tour was lead by Gaurang. He was sweet and personable. He shared many interesting facts about the wine and region! The wine itself was very good. Although very different than the California varietals we're used to, we enjoyed getting to try these local wines and to learn about the process it takes to make them!

If you are into a semi classy winery experience without feeling like you don't belong, I would recommend Peller Estates! This estate is beautiful! Instagram-worthy rows and rows of well pruned vineyard as well as scenic outdoor areas for wining and dining. I would also recommend their wine tasting tour. I didn't feel like an outcast even though I had a toddler present. The tour guide was entertaining and charismatic! He allowed time for photo ops. Don't skip out of the ice room! It is an experience! Lost my Tiffany bracelet along the tour but I still don't have any regrets.

We left after TEN minutes. Four of us wanted a wine tasting, but the servers ignored us while serving others. Very disappointed. Still - it had nice architecture

We had the five course tasting menu + lobster linguini. My apologies for not capturing them all. Next time, I'll probably just order the lobster linguini a la carte because it was incredible. The servers were very friendly and the pacing was perfect.

First time here with my husband as a mini getaway. Our server was so helpful and amazing. She made our dinner more enjoyable !!! We got the $110 5 course tasting menu and add the additional lobster linguine $35 since it is their signature dish. We did the 5 courses wine pairing $65. Very impressed with the salad, lamb chops, and the dessert. The way the mix the sauce and dressing totally bring the dish to the next level. The sauce for the Lobster linguine was amazinggggggg. I wish they use the paradelle or thick fat pasta though. The texture of their pasta doesn't seem to match the dish too well. We went to wine tour before dinner and I am not a big drinker. I wouldn't get the wine paring next time ( it was more for the experience). Definitely will go back again!

We loved it here! The grounds are gorgeous. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable. We loved the tasting tour and the lunch the chef made for our good was delicious. We also saw their ice room which was super cool! This is a family winery that own a few of the surrounding wineries. Beautiful place. Try the sparkling wine it was delicious, we bought two bottles!

Amazing food, superb service and great ambiance. Don't forget to try the ice wine and pair it with the local cheeses, jam and some crackers.

They do some nice wines and ice wines as well. You can pick up some other treats in the wine/gift store. They also have a restaurant. It's a beautiful place and I would want to come back for some in-depth tastings. They have plenty of parking just go and check it out.

My partner and I visited this place to celebrate our anniversary. Peller Estates had a lovely patio for the wine tasting experience. You get to sip on 3 choices of wine from either their standard flight or premium flight. They offered a complementary rosé as well. The server we had for this experience was very knowledgable. We had a chance to walk around their outdoor space before heading into their restaurant. The server we had was very attentive and answered our questions about the entrees. We had the Oysters, Beef Striploin, Pork Tenderloin with Risotto and the Apple Crumble for dessert. The Oysters were fresh and their red wine vinaigrette complements them greatly. The Beef Striploin was cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious. The Pork Tenderloin was wrapped with bacon. It was juicy and tender. It was paired with the risotto which was rich and creamy and was slightly al dente. Overall had a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this winery for those looking to sip on some wines and relax.

Came here in late September on a trip. We got the chocolate and cheese board, while overlooking the sunset. it was very pretty. We purchased a number of bottles to bring home. The staff was very attentive and were very knowledgeable when we asked many questions about bringing alcohol back to NY from Canada.

This is a beautiful winery with lots of choices for tours, tastings, and meals. We decided to do the tasting, which is 3 wines for $25. There are about 12 wines from which to choose and there were 3-4 small snacks you could buy. They first gave us a sparkling wine as a freebie, and it was ok. They then took our wine order and said the pours would be similar to the free pour. That wasn't true at all. I think doing this tasting is overpriced. I forgot to take a picture of the pours, but it is maybe 2 mouthfuls. The wines were decent, and I especially liked the Cab Franc. If I were to do this again, I would go and get a glass of wine and enjoy a light lunch.

Had a perfect afternoon here. The estate and grounds are beautiful with wonderful staff. We did a tour which was such a highlight! It consistent of 4 wine tasters: a sparkling, white, red, and ice wine all with accompanying information about the wine and property. You start outside then walk to the barrel room before putting on provided jackets to enter the ice room for the ice wine. We had lunch at the terrace which is more of a light meal/snack option, but was wonderful. Have nothing bad to say about Peller Estates.

This was our favorite of three wineries in Niagara. The tour was informative and interesting, and our guide was top notch. Friendly, engaging, but not taking it too seriously. The icewine cellar is neat if nothing else; icewine is definitely an acquired taste. The outdoor space is beautiful, and there is a casual dining option available besides the more expensive, recommendations required choice. The gift shop has some snacks and you could DIY a picnic out of it.

This restaurant is as exquisite as the grounds. The ambiance is elegant and sophisticated but it relaxes you with its kind and gracious staff and management. This is a place where you give in to the seven course meal with total trust. It is more than worth the price for an on-point culinary kaleidoscope of flavors that embrace the region and the season. You can taste the care in the clean flavor profiles. Only word to the wise is that if you are a periodic drinker, share the wine pairing to drink lightly through each course and tip heavily for the accommodation. - enjoy!

This place is AMAZING! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and amazing! Oh did I mentioned food! Unbelievable delicious and wine is to die for! Please come enjoy your afternoon here!

AMAZINGGGG such a cool experience!! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the wine was also great. The ice wine was delicious and was the best part of the tour.

Peller never fails my expectations!!! 5 course meal is never the same from the last I had. The difference between the past and this time would be the bread choices there's only 2 over 3-4. The butter is just sea salt butter over infused butter. In the pass my favourite was their ice wine infused whipped butter, sun dried tomato butter... The old menu use to have a choice of 5 or 7 course meal. This time there's just 5 course meal and choice of adding lobster linguine, or other choices for additional cost. I usually enjoy hot soup but this time they served a cold squash soup, something that's different and I haven't had before. Oh the other thing that I don't understand is why their smoke salmon can taste so good. The taste is just perfect not too salty like ones that u get outside.

This is my favorite winery in the Niagara on the Lakes region. They have the best tasting ice wines! If going here be sure to book your tour in advance otherwise you will miss our. We did the greatest winery tour and it was fantastic. The highlight of the tour is when you go into the ice cave to sample wines. If you not interested in a tour there is a large back patio with some of the most amazing views of the winery where you can sit back relax enjoy some fantastic wines and great food.

What a beautiful winery!!! We stopped here for lunch before having a full day of tasting and it was yummy! The staff was friendly and even treated us since we were celebrating a birthday.

Elegance...That's the first word I thought of when I walked into the Peller Estates Winery and Restaurant. If only the food I ordered lived up to it, so I would rate the food 4/5. For the "To Share" appetizer, I had selection of Canadian Chesses, Peller Preserves with Private Reserve Baco Noir 2019. It was really good, I could eat cheese and drink wine everyday, but good things are to be taken in moderation. For first course, I had the Peller daily soup, which was the buttersquash soup, tastes okay, but I find the black pepper overpowering, BUT, they were happy to whip up some salad with no extra charge. And for my main course, I had the Ontario Lamb Saddle which was paired with baby carrots, dijon mustard, and potatoe goat cheese puree. It was quite delicious and fatty, so it might depend on your taste preferences (however, for me, I wasn't too pleased). The customer service was spot on. Very professional, friendly, and accomodating. Bonus: Parking is free. Oh! I saw a group of people arrive in a helicopter....I wonder if I can set up something for when next I visit. Hmmmm lol

This winery was absolutely amazing. We scheduled a tour into their cellar. Our tour host was wonderful. Very professional and knowledgeable. Our favorite part of the tour was definitely the ice wine bar which we learned a great deal about how they make ice wine, and the importance of it to their region. Of the wineries in the Niagara region, this definitely was one of our favorites. Every wine we tried was fabulous, and the estate which the winery sits is beautifully located. By the end of the vacation we had wished that we spent an extra week so that we could bike around, and really soak in the experience. If you're in the region this is a must go winery.

This was my first time at a winery and the dining experience was fantastic and indeed very fancy. I came here with my boyfriend's family for labour day and we went with the tasting menu coupled with wine pairing and a cheese charcuterie with the signature lobster linguine on the side. Together this makes it a seven course meal with 5 different wines to try. Since this is my first experience, I did find that it was quite pricey but the quality is definitely there. Every course was bursting with complex flavors that I was not used to. Since this is a tasting menu, dishes may vary depending on chefs choice for the day. For the first course, we got tomato with watermelon and mozzarella on top of a pesto basil sauce. This was super refreshing and paired well with the rose provided. The second course was a peach tomato soup. The third course was a fish dish (which I can't remember the name of). I do wish the fish was slightly more tender but overall still delicious. Then we went into the main course which was ribeye on top of lentils. This was legit the most tender delicious steak I've ever had in my life. I could have eaten a whole plate of it. Lastly, the dessert was a dacquoise with fresh peaches and it was oh soo yummy. Best way to end the meal and paired with a perfectly sweet ice wine. Of course we also had the cheese charcuterie (which was a bit lacking on the cheese amount and cheese variety) and the linguine (delicious!). Overall, amazing service and amazing food but more reserved for special occasions.

*Restaurant Review* We were a group of 10 celebrating 3 birthdays. We got ushered to a private room in the back with our own personal entrance/exit to the courtyard area overlooking the grape vines. Our server was amazing and I wish I remembered her name. For the table, we shared the cheese/charcuterie boards and oysters. Between us two, we had the heirloom tomato salad, lamb shank and the signature lobster linguine (first course size). The linguine was my absolute favourite dish. The lamb shank was slightly underwhelming due to flavour. We mentioned birthdays through our Openable reservation and our host even asked who was celebrating a birthday, however it was not acknowledged at the end of our meal. Just a note, work things out with your server if you would like to celebrate the special occasion.

Walked in to the winery and the two people at the front were no help and rude. We busted wanted to have a wine tasting and had no reservation. The guy at the bar sent us to the terrace and the hostess told us to come back in 15 minutes with five tables empty right in the open. We came back and she seated us only to get no server for 15 more minutes. Finally ordered a flight and the red flight was awful. Will never return.

I enjoyed my experience here for a special family occasion from the beginning to end. From arriving at the beautiful estate and walking into the beautiful elegant dining room, to the amazing service and friendly, humble (not pretentious as one may think such a high end fancy place may dictate) servers, to the food selection and quality, the delicious wine, and finally the estate itself after dinner where we walked around and took fun jumping group family pics against the beautiful backdrop. To my bf, he felt the main course portions were on the small side for the price that we pay; to me it was still fine as I consider the beautiful estate, the fancy experience (fancy and welcoming, accommodating, non pretentious) , the food quality and superb service. It was the perfect place to go for a special family occasion.

Peller Estates Winery and Restaurant is a craft estate winery and restaurant that opened in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada in 2001. It was founded by John Peller: President and CEO of Andrew Peller Limited. The story of the Peller family begins with John's grandfather Andrew Peller, who immigrated to Canada from Hungary in 1927 with just five dollars in his pocket. Years later, he would plant his first vineyards in British Columbia. By 1961, the elder Peller had opened successful wineries in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia. In 1966, Andrew's son Dr. Joseph Peller left his career in medicine to join the family business. Joseph's son John entered the business in 1989 and by 1995 he would take over the whole company. After more than six years in planning, an estate winery opened in Niagara-on-the-Lake which reflected the dreams and vision of Andrew Peller. The head winemaker is Katie Dickieson and the head chef at the restaurant is Jason Parsons. My wife and I visited Peller Estates in April 2016. We were on a sightseeing trip to Niagara Falls for four days. Several people had told us to head north and check out Niagara-on-the-Lake for its huge winery scene. We dedicated a day for visiting wineries and breweries and Peller was our seventh stop of the day. The grounds and the main building were very impressive and are located conveniently next to another estate winery: Two Sisters Vineyards. The interior of the main building was just beautiful. We had a basic wine tasting inside the tasting room, but we were most looking forward to our dinner reservation at the restaurant. We had dinner on the earlier side, so we had the whole dining room to ourselves. To start out, we were served a complimentary plate of Chicken Liver Pâté on Potato. For our entrées, my wife had the Butternut Squash & Goat Cheese Tortellini and I had the Ontario Lamb Loin. The presentation was beautiful; almost too good to eat. Our food paired well with our wine selections: my wife had Riesling and I had the Cabernet Franc. This was a truly exceptional and memorable dining experience! We also purchased some wines to take home. We can't wait to return some day!

Pretty spot! Gorgeous estate with a winery, tasting room and a restaurant on site. I came for wine tasting and it was quite fun. Busy, sunny and fun. Before coming here, I haven't tried their wine, which was what prompted the visit. Their wine is quite good. I enjoyed their reds, rose brut and then some. They have a lot of different rose. Good for anytime / summer time drinking. Tasting flights were pretty good. You can get anything from their ice wine, reserve ice wine to cab franc, Baco noir ( their red), Pinot Grigio to a merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and cuvée roses. I got their ice wine reserve signature series ( $105 per bottle I believe ) and cuvées rose ($35+). Outdoor tastings are around half hour. It's better anyway since the inside is ok but outside is gorgeous. They also have an Inn : Riverbend inn that you can stay in. Perfect spot for weddings or events or getaway with girls. The restaurant look great too but I didn't get to dine in. They do have takeout packages for two! Overall, I came for the views but enjoyed the wine! Ice wine and cuvées here are great. I'm sure their other wines are too but I didn't get to sample too much. Next time!

Stopped in for a lite bite before exploring Niagara Falls. We had the Charcuterie and cheese platter and the peach and greens salad. Everything was very tasty and service was great.

Outside seating was lovely. Our waitress was new and didn't know the wines very well but we still had a great tasting. The view was pleasant. The gift shop is nice to browse. My favorite wine was the Boco!

(Note that this review applies to the Terrace Wine Bar. We did not eat at the main restaurant.) As my wife an I ultimately found out from the manager, the casual outdoor dining space at Peller Estates has recently gone through a bit of a re-imagining. The "Barrel House Grill" mentioned in the 2019 NY Times "36 Hours" piece is no more, having been replaced by the "Terrace Wine Bar." As Douglas Adams would say, this has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. The food was very inconsistent. The burrata appetizer was pretty good. My wife's salad was ok, but certainly wasn't large enough for a lunch salad. My chicken breast sandwich, on the other hand, was an abomination. In such a beautiful surrounding, I did not expect to be served what was clearly a frozen, food-service chicken patty with one piece of wilting lettuce, a slice of flavorless tomato, and no actual flavor anywhere on the bun. With very greasy french fries. The staff was nice enough. The manager explained the recent concept shift and its accompanying bumps in the road, and tried to make it up to us with a free bottle of wine. But regardless, the food quality was poor and this review is deserved. I will also comment on the pricing. I was shocked that the smallest tastes of the wine *from this vineyard* were on the order of $15 (CAD... about $11-12 USD). This was while eating lunch. To pick up a glass from the "tasting" section of the patio would have been $19 CAD (including a souvenir glass that I didn't really want). The tasting patio's flights didn't appear to be available at the Terrace. I'm used to vineyards understanding that a large part of their raison d'être is to let people sample the wines in the hopes of enticing them to buy a full bottle. The pricing structure here was not conducive to that. Not only is that bad business sense (we ordered one glass of wine and didn't buy a bottle), but it detracts from the fun experience that a vineyard lunch can be. In sum, the main restaurant *might* be good, but if you're looking for a casual outdoor lunch and some wine tasting, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

Wonderful winery. We took the wine tour and learned a lot about the local wines and how ice wine was made. They have an ice lounge and an elegant and cozy taste room.

I had the pleasure of spending my birthday in Ontario and we stopped her on our way back from Niagara Falls. The food was wonderful. Our server was amazing and I just love the ambience the next time I am back in Canada we will absolutely be having lunch there again.

This is quite a stunning winery to be at as it's absolutely humongous and the Decour inside is quite impressive. However the wine tasting experience in their plane room upstairs was absolutely boring. The server didn't even have that much knowledge of the wines that we tasted and we were all presented with our four glasses of our selections all at once. They could learn a few things from other wineries on how to present a better experience. Outside they have a restaurant/bar that looks pretty cool.

Enjoyed my time in this winery. We all got drinks (mimosa) in a hot summer morning and we all loved it , what a scene and environment.

Wine tour: loved it! Guide was so informative in giving the history of peller family, local climates and geography, and best wine drinking practices. I definitely learned a lot and enjoyed tasting the 4 wines he presented. In particular, the ice wine and rose were my favourites. Restaurant: beautiful dishes by Chef Jason. Food was amazing as expected. The only downside I want to mention is that some of our dishes were not clean and of course this is not ideal for fine dining and during covid times.

Every single person, place, and thing about this experience was 5 stars. I had scheduled a winery tour for Sunday afternoon on their website, but when it became painfully obvious that the massive delays with my flights to Buffalo (close to 50 minutes away from Peller) would result in me missing my scheduled tour; I wrote the winery an email asking if they would consider rescheduling me. They got back to my email pretty quickly with a pleasant and courteous yes. So I went up early Monday morning for my tour and was greeted at the front entrance by a very friendly woman who told me that I would be the only one on the tour and that it would start right up the steps in just a few minutes. Ling was my tour guide that day, and what a tour guide she was. She started the tour out with a taste of some bubbly and took me upstairs to a room that overlooks the front of the estate, a barrel cellar, and the main attraction (The Ice Room) a freezer that is lined with furniture, a bar, walls, and hanging ornaments all made out of ice. But let's back up. Ling, super knowledgeable, very open to questions and conversation, and willing and ready photographer was just a pleasure to be with that day. You can tell that she really has a good grasp on the process, the company, and the history of the winery. Big props to her. So yes, back to 10 Below (Celsius thank g-d). The walk in freezer that they've made into an ice lounge. The reason why this is here is to experience the temperature that the workers harvest grapes in, at night, by hand to make the ice wine. So next time you gawkin' at that price of ice wine... remember, those workers ain't goin into a freezer for ten minutes and having a glass of ice wine at an ice bar... they workin' in that biz! But yes... the 10 below room is awesome and I have some wonderful pictures that came out of it. Can we also talk about that gift shop... man! Now that's a gift shop! They have everything you could ever need out of a wine gift shop, AND it is super clean and organized. They have all sorts of gadgets, decorations, servingware, xmas things, and more. They also do tastings at a bar in the gift shop... so there's that. I was in a hurry so I couldn't check out the restaurant, but the food looks incredible. If you're going on a wine tour up in this region of Canada, I'd for sure recommend Peller Estates. I'd love to go back up there myself truth be told!

Visited for our honeymoon and did the tour. Awesome experience! We learned a lot about winemaking and got to taste 4 of the wines. Outstanding views and very cool areas that we got to explore. The wine was great and our tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable. We will be back!

I've had both lunches and dinner at Peller. Food is overpriced, service is good. Same decor as they've had for 15 years I think. There are other places at this price point that I would choose first. Including the other Peller properties. Oaklands or Trius are both better. Two Sisters, Treadwell are also better. Celebrity chef is the draw here but honestly not worth it.

What a beautiful winery,! Lovely scenery, amazing five star restaurant, cool guided tour and awesome ice room experience. All that with along with delicious wine tasting do I need to say more

If you're looking for an amazing dining experience with incredible food and outstanding service, look no further than Peller Winery! The five course meal included pork belly starter, pork croquettes, red tomato soup, salmon in a risotto, and incredible beef. The staff were friendly and the manager went above and beyond to make our experience special. The only negative was that the washrooms were in disrepair, with broken coat hangers and soap dispensers. However, this did not detract from the overall wonderful experience.

Winery charges for tastings 19.99 and received a glass. Restaurant has certain times of seatings so we could not get a table. Outdoor area is a good place for pictures or to finish your wine. Others attended this winery on a tour and had a nice package price for multiple wineries and tastings.

The place was beautiful, definitely can have weddings and parties here. We did a wine tour and it was awesome learning about everything here and tasting different wines. The ice room with the ice wine was my favorite it was so cool and the ice wine was delicious, probably my favorite. There's also a restaurant here too. Really nice place, friendly employees and service here is great.

We went for the restaurant. It was very commercial. A very busy and bustling spot. Maybe great for someone who is just embarking on their wine discovery journey. But for the seasoned sommelier it is a bit too much. We managed to eat at the terrace bistro/bar. The food was nice. The service was meh. I can't complain about the number of heaters however; they aren't cheap and hence the very busy location. The wines were average. Presentation gets full marks however!
