About
Peller Estates has been crafting quality wines for Canadians for over 50 years. Whether poured around the dinner table at home, or enjoyed during an immersive wine and culinary experience at our award-winning Niagara-on-the-Lake winey, there is no greater honour than when our wines are shared with family and friends. Peller Estates' full range of Private Reserve whites, reds and sweet wines by Winemaker Katie Dickieson are always rich and approachable, while the Signature Series features age-worthy reds, award-winning Icewines and the unique Ice Cuvee sparkling wines, sweetened with a touch of Icewine. Experience wine country at the ultimate wine and food lover’s playground with tours and seminars throughout the day, including Niagara’s only igloo-like lounge where you’ll taste Icewine at -10C. Partake in a barrel cellar dinner, fine dining in the Winery Restaurant with Executive Chef Jason Parsons, or casual patio dining at Terrace Wine Bar. We look forward to welcoming you!

- Cy GToronto, Canada36 contributionsExperience the best of Ice WineI've visited this winery many times and I'm overdue for a review. I visited here for the full tour, the wine and cheese workshop, and the ice wine festival. Let me tell you that every time I visit here with family and friends, this place delivers the best experiences among the other wineries. The tours are very hands on, engaging, and educational and are worth every dollar spent. The wines here are high quality and prices are fair. The property is beautiful no matter what season you visit, it's big and spacious and lots of areas to take pictures. A must visit if you plan to visit Niagara on the lake.Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy to hear that you have had so many positive experiences with us. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!Written March 3, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited January 2023Written January 22, 2023
- Emily P.1 contributionAmazing first wine tour experienceWe came to Niagara-on-the-Lake to visit the wineries in town and Peller Estates was by far our favourite. We have nothing but good things to say about our experience. First off, the wine tour was great: there was a nice selection of wines to taste, and we learned a ton about Peller’s history (and wine, of course). Our tour guide, Alex, was fantastic — he was super knowledgeable, articulate, and personable. Don’t think the tour would’ve been the same without him! Second, the restaurant is amazing. After our tour, we went to grab some lunch, and were extremely satisfied with the quality of the food, the wonderful service, and the ambiance. Highly recommend the gnocchi! Lastly, the estate itself is beautiful. Definitely a location worth touring. That’s all I can say about it. We’ll be back here again for sure. Thanks again, Alex! You were great!Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear about your experience on the Greatest Winery Tour with Alex and you lunch in the restaurant! We will be sure to share this positive feedback with Alex. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

- TFabgirlSan Diego, California120 contributionsSuperb food and drinks!Nice vineyard to visit with several choices for dining. There is the fine dining option and would advise to book a reservation ahead of time. We went on a Saturday in spring and as one can imagine, they are busy. Good thing they served some wine to taste along with some charcuterie at their patio. This helped tide us over while we waited for a table to open up to eat a late lunch. Overall and nice experience!Thank you so much for your review! We are glad to hear you had such a good experience on our tasting patio and in our dining room. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! We strive to always offer a 5 star experience, if there is anything we could have done to make this a 5 star experience, we would love to hear about it! Feel free to reach out with any additional feedback or concerns. Thanks again!

- Katie B1 contributionFirst class experience!We had a wonderful tour and tasting at Pellar. The tour was great, especially going inside the ice box/cooler! The ice wines here are delish! After the tour, we wanted to try all 4 varietals of their ice wine, but we were unable to be seated for a tasting (because we didn’t make a reservation ahead of time), but the concierge desk was so kind and helped us get seats at the lounge upstairs. Geoff at the lounge upstairs was so helpful & knowledgeable about the ice wines we tried. Highly recommend making reservations for both the tour and the seated tastings—this winery is definitely worth a visit if you’re out by the falls!Thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you had such a great experience on our Greatest Winery Tour and in our Estate Lounge! We will be sure to share this positive feedback with Geoff. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

- GkjaOttawa, Canada4 contributionsAnother Awesome visit to Peller Estates WineryWe have been wine club members here for over 10 years. We have always enjoyed our visits, & meant so many wonder people. On our last visit Sal was our tour guide. We have enjoyed Sal’s company in the past, and learn something new every visit. While all tours at Peller Estates are excellent, we usually seek out tours that Sal is hosting. He is knowledgeable, and has a wonderful sense of humour. Sal has a way of making you feel like you are visiting his home & he is touring you around his winery. We look forward to visiting this summer. We also had a wonderful visit to the Peller restaurant. Noemi greeted us when we arrived. She definitely made us feel welcome. We enjoyed our dinner outside on the patio overlooking the vineyard. We look forward to visiting soonHi Gkja! Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review. We are always so happy to hear from our long standing members. Very glad to hear that you enjoyed your dining experience in the restaurant and your tour with Sal, he certainly has a way of making everyone feel welcomed and always getting a laugh or two. We look forward to welcoming you back this summer!!

- Lori T2 contributionsAnniversary celebrationWe had a tasting at Peller recently. Our host was Bill and her was so friendly and knowledgeable. We are wine club members and always enjoy our tastings. We then had a late afternoon tasting at Trius prior to a delicious dinner at Trius restaurant. Both were great experiences and our dinner was fantastic. We stayed at Riverbend Inn which was so inviting and comfortable. We enjoyed the fireplace as it was a cool night. Our final stop was lunch and a tasting at Gretzky’s the next day. Wonderful service and we enjoyed the calimari and the brie with our tastings. Delightful 24 hours.Hi Lori! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this great review of all of our properties! Very happy to hear you had such a nice time with Bill at Peller and at all of our other properties. Hope to host you back at the properties again soon!

- dgriffiths500St. Catharines, Canada25 contributionsFell short of expectations.The view was great although probably much nicer on the parking lot side in the evening to watch the sun go down. Well maintained property, neat and tidy. Inside is very nice and well thought out to suite many function types. We asked for the tasting menu. Chef Jason has been here quite some time and I was interested to try his menu. The wine was very good and explained well by our server, the first course was salmon tartar, I don't eat salmon and it was awesome! Chef may have opened a new door for me. The rest of the courses, 4, not including a small palette cleanser (which was freezer burnt) did not shine as I would have expected. The server stated that the chef had left the building and I guess it was like the cats away sort of deal. Our main was a Striploin steak, terribly overcooked, but I'm at a winery with a great view and great company I can deal with it, however, there was a massive piece of gristle which consumed an entire piece of the meat well not meat really. Guys or gals, it was 5 pieces I would rather have 4 and no gristle. Did not live up to what I expected at all. I'm local, I enjoy local, the wine was very nice the atmosphere was great, maybe I hit an off night. But if you're good, like really good at what you do, there should be no off nights. For the amount of money it cost and the quality I was served, my next tasting menu will be at home.Visited April 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten April 26, 2023

Cam was a very good tour guide. We really enjoyed his passion for the job.
Restaurant after the tour was very good. Way too expensive. Had a better steak at Moxies the night before and it was half the price

Lilah gave a very informative and interesting tour explaining the history, the kind of wines that are made and the connection to the Peller winery in BC. We tasted sparkling wine, a white, a red and then visited the ice wine bar where it is -10 degrees Celsius to sample the delicious ice wine. There was time to browse and shop in the boutique store. Lilah was knowledgeable and fun to be with. Lovely way to spend the afternoon!

We’ve been going to Peller Estates for many years but they’ve increased their prices tremendously. It’s really not worth it. A glass of wine for minimum $22 , I don’t think so. The view is definitely beautiful but they have gone overboard with their prices. Thank Goodness we have so many other options in Niagara on the Lake and much more affordable. The wine is good but doesn’t warrant the price. It’s my honest opinion.

Grounds are stunning, we visited whilst on our honeymoon and treated ourselves to the tasting menu and wine pairing.
The food was absolutely stunning, I can see why their lobster linguini is a signature dish! Our waitress was lovely and very knowledgeable about all of the food and wines. We had the most perfect afternoon!

Lovely setting w good food & wine.
The waitstaff was wonderful. They gave us a ice wine sample when we first sat down. They have a nice selection of regular & ice wines, pricy but top quality. Cheeses & casual dining outside ( There’s fine dining there as well) was all good.

How much is a wine tour & do they offer a cheese board? And is it the same price for a group?

Sorry, forgot to mention that the food there was excellent, 1st class more than cheese bits you will enjoy it, figure food, etc.
Can you just taste the wines and eat ?

You can taste the wines at the bar, but I don’t remember them having food at the bar. And it’s only standing so no relaxing, but they have a great outside lounge/bar area where you can probably do both.

I believe so. But you would want to call and confirm. Ps. Based on my experience, you will not have an enjoyable tour if you book it during the same date as an event. They seem to be very disorganized during these times and you will need to reuse the same glass for each wine tasting and you will miss out on key views and locations for wine tasting. I was very disappointed this past weekend as they were having the party in the vineyard during my tour and we only got five minutes in the ice lounge

You should do a reservation I guess.. because there is an specific number of people on the tour. I don’t remember how much it was, but I’m sure that was more than $ 30. Probably something near $50.

Hi Catter, you are more than welcome to walk in and pay the tour fee once you arrive to the estate, but we cannot guarantee that spots will be available for the desired time slot. If you book in advance online or via phone and pre-pay, your spot will be reserved.
