Peller Estates Winery And Restaurant

Winery Heritage and Tours

Peller Estates Winery stands as a cornerstone of Niagara-on-the-Lake's wine country, where the Peller family has crafted premium wines for decades. The Greatest Winery Tour invites visitors to traverse lush estate vineyards, descend into atmospheric barrel cellars lined with aging oak, and culminate in the exclusive -10Below Icewine Lounge—a frozen igloo carved from over 13,000 kilos of ice, chilled to minus ten degrees Celsius for optimal icewine appreciation. Here, sample liquid gold icewines harvested from grapes frozen on the vine, a Niagara specialty that yields rich, concentrated flavors of strawberry and apricot.

Award-Winning Wines

Renowned for Signature Series Cabernet Franc Icewine, Private Reserve Riesling, and Meritage blends, Peller's vintages earn gold and platinum accolades annually. Sparkling wines greet tour guests on the backyard patio overlooking the Niagara Escarpment, while reds and whites shine in curated tastings. The boutique offers these treasures for purchase, allowing visitors to bring home Niagara's terroir-driven essence.

Fine Dining Excellence

The Winery Restaurant elevates the experience with Chef Jason Parsons' seasonal menus, praised as extraordinary by Zagat readers. Signature lobster linguini with black truffle and icewine-poached lobster pairs seamlessly with estate wines selected by Winemaker Katie Dickieson. Entrees like beef short rib bourguignon, maple soy glazed salmon, and forest mushroom risotto showcase local bounty. Dine amid vineyard panoramas, in candlelit barrel cellars, or under starlit skies for intimate occasions.

Terrace and Lounge Experiences

Casual terrace wine bar tastings allow customization of three wines, often featuring bartender-recommended icewine Cabernet Franc. Winter Luxe Lounge provides cozy retreats, while summer patios buzz with charcuterie and wine flights. The setting fosters relaxation, blending natural beauty with culinary artistry.
