History and Mission statement for this winery:
Since arriving in Niagara on the Lake, Canada in 1948, the Pillitteri family has been committed to creating a legacy for generations to follow. Now, over six decades later, Pillitteri Estates Winery proudly continues a family tradition of viticulture and wine making excellence. With three generations actively involved with our winery’s operations, we can truly say that each bottle of wine we make is a product of our family’s passion. We are proud to be able to share the fruits of our labour with wine enthusiasts around the world, and consider each person that enjoys a glass of Pillitteri wine to be a part of our family.
This winery is not the glitzy estates that the other ones we visited were. The awards room was very impressive however. This is a winery that is on the bus tours.
I'm a huge fan of ice wine and all I can say is what a great spot to try out some samples. Unfortunately we had the kids with us and couldn't stay a little longer but the service was excellent, even gave the kids some grape juice. Oh ya and picked up a few bottles
Take your time and sample all the different wines that are available. Their Ice Wine is excellent and they teach you a lot about wine and pairings. Also, a lot of fun!
We were here on a bus tour which was a total waste of time. Our wine advisor had a cold and was hacking and coughing the whole time which really put us off. Not a big fan of ice wine so we were not impressed with this winery.
Our guide was very knowledgeable on the history of the winery and the story of how it got to where it is now. The tasting was well led and questions answered
