Really lovely lovely winery with friendly staff and lots of options for Ice Wine…read more We had four different Ice wines. They are all home sweet as side of the one spectrum. The most special one is the sparkling Ice red white. Love the red wine nature but ice white taste with sparkling texture.

Minus one star because the smell was pretty overwhelming sometimes…read more The parking lot caught some smells of manure prob from nearby farms. That can't be controlled but the placement of where they ferment the grapes was right by the outside tables and it smelled like garbage. I don't know if that can be controlled but my nose got assaulted every time I walked by. Seating by the vineyard was nice and did not smell. It was peaceful and had weirdly low benches. The grass was nice and we let our baby play with grass for the first time! We brought a little baby playmat. We sat inside when we sampled 3 ice wines because I wanted to drink in peace and avoid the bees. Their ice wines are sooo delicious!!! Our favorite was the Cab Franc (red wine). It was sweeter to me than the Golden one she recommended when I asked for the sweetest. It tasted like magical Canadian candy ;0)

Konzelmann estate is so beautiful between the views of the vineyard and lake and lovely building…read morewith great views from the lookout. Unfortunately the experience wasn't quite what I was expecting or used to getting from wine tastings. It did start off well with the woman working the front desk. She was very attentive and helped us choose our experience. But once we got to the tasting room, it changed. The workers in the tasting room seemed like they didn't care to be there. Service was slow getting us set up as we were seated and left there for a bit before selecting our tasting. Our server was kind when bringing over the wines but maybe she was being spread thin as she was doing almost all of the tastings in the room / having to run around. We originally chose a window seat but moved soon after because there were so many flies that kept landing on us. Moving more inwards helped to an extent as there were quite a bit of black flies and fruit flies in the tasting room (fruit flies were landing in the wine). The wines were decent and had some unique offerings. Did end up buying a bottle of ice wine because it was a great, very sweet dessert wine. I think the experience would have been a lot better if more effort was taken by the estate on the amount of flies (adding traps or thick curtains blocking the tasting room to avoid flies getting in) and if service was more interested. Maybe having specific wine tasting times so the worker can be more involved? Another missed opportunity is the outside lookout over the vineyard is a small platform and a small tasting area in the middle of the parking lot. It would be so beautiful and enjoyable if there was a larger outdoor seating patio that you can sit and drink wine while looking over the vineyard / lake.

The bartender shared a bit information about the wines we ordered. We then headed outside to enjoy the sunshine. The price point is on the higher end for a glass of wine. For as high end as this place is, I was surprised our glasses were plastic and not glass. I do want to add that their bathroom, at least the women's bathroom, was amazing. Actually doors on the stalls so no gaps. And my favorite thing, they opened out, not in! If looking for something to do, this is a beautiful spot to spend some time but I do think there are better options nearby with better price points.

We had spent a couple hours checking out Niagara Falls before coming here for some wine tasting…read more The layout was spacious with indoor and outdoor patio seating. Given it was such a nice day out, we sat outside. The staff member who assisted us was really friendly and very knowledgeable of the wines. We got a flight of ice wine and a flight of regular wine to share. All had a mix of red and white we really enjoyed. We also got a couple snacks - Tomato Bruschetta and Mixed Olives that were all quite good. Upon leaving, we even got a bottle of one of their ice wines to go. Pillitteri was a great winery to enjoy our afternoon at!

There was food pairing as well, we had a Thai chicken slider, which was very tasty, I like the white wine better than the rosé as rose is too sweet for me. We later on asked for ice wine tasting as well, my friend liked one of them so she bought it and I bought the white wine instead. We sat outside, they have a lot of seating, the whole area felt very modern and relaxing. I will definitely buy their wine again.

Peller Estates Winery and Restaurant located at Niagara-on-the-Lake is a popular and well-known…read morewinery with tasting experiences (inside the retail store or seated), tours, a restaurant on site as well as a hotel (the Riverbend Inn which sits adjacent to Peller Estates). They also have private rooms where you can host lunches, dinners, or special occasions (weddings, birthdays, etc.). I was recently at Peller Estates for a family lunch which was held upstairs on the 2nd floor in the Founders Hall. The private room was intimate and spacious, which can seat up to 80 guests. The room also has a balcony and views which overlook the winery vineyards as well. For our particular lunch we were treated to a seasonal set menu consisting of 3 courses. Tea and coffee were included as well. For our set menu we had the following dishes: - Artisanal greens and bib salad (heirloom tomato, English cucumber, breakfast radish, Ice Cuvee vinaigrette) - Smoked chicken pasta (sundried tomatoes, green onions, penne pasta, Chardonnay cream sauce) - Merlot chocolate decadence cake (sponge toffee crumble, blackberry compote) The meal from start to finish was great! The salad was light and refreshing where the vegetables were lightly dressed in the vinaigrette which wasn't overpowering. The smoked chicken pasta was delicious with the Chardonnay cream sauce - only issue was that we wanted more of it! Lastly, the chocolate cake was the perfect ending to the lunch where it didn't feel too heavy. The sponge toffee crumble added a textural contrast to the dish as well. The whole meal wasn't too heavy and was just the perfect amount for lunch. Service during our meal was great. Staff served each table at a time and took away plates after we were finished eating. They also made sure to refill our water glasses every time we were running low on water. At the end of our meal, they also opened the balcony doors for us as we requested to go outside to take a few photos. I also walked around the retail store after my meal to look at the wines. The retail store is spacious and the tasting bar in the middle of the room was busy. Overall, a beautiful winery with many different kinds of experiences. The private lunch we had in the Founder's Room was tasty and the room felt spacious and intimate, the perfect setting to celebrate a special occasion with family. I can't comment on the planning process with the Peller Estates team as someone else in my family had organized the lunch, however, the food and service was great. Would definitely recommend checking out Peller Estates for their wine as well as food!

Originally I booked our tour for 3pm and then we realized we didn't need nearly as much time at our previous stop. I saw online that the 12pm tour had open spots. We arrived just before 12 and were able to join that time. The host was happy to make the accommodation. The estate is beautiful and we had great weather for October. David was a wonderful tour guide. We enjoyed navigating the estate, sampled two wines outside, one in the cellar and then one in the ice cave. The ice cave is truly a unique experience. They do provide jackets to keep you warm. Along with the tour, you get 15% off purchases in their shop. We enjoyed the ice cuvee so much, we ordered a glass each and sat outside on their patio to enjoy the day. Highly recommend booking their tour!

Best winery experience ever!!…read more My friend and I were winery hopping and decided to stop by here. We didn't need a reservation for the flight tasting, which I super appreciated. We just walked up to the bar. They do have more of a sit-down experience it seemed with bites of food but we opted for the bar. I loved that the flights also include ice wine. I have been wanting to try it but typically it is not included in these types of flight tastings. One of the managers, Teanna, was the best!! She was so incredibly helpful with picking out wines and letting us try different things. I will be sure to stop by here again just because of her!

The setting was so breathtaking that we decided to extend our visit and grab a bite to eat at the pizzeria side, where we could continue soaking in the gorgeous scenery.

Beyond the stunning atmosphere, the customer service was top-notch--attentive, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. Both the wine selection and craft beers were excellent. Whether you're stopping by for a quick tasting or relaxing over food and drinks while taking in the views, Ravine Vineyard is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

The Double Oaked whiskey cocktail with peach lemonade was also a highlight; strong, flavourful, and delicious.

It's a beautiful spot to enjoy some wine, spirits, and bites along the vineyard. There are also things for the kids to do like a ping pong table, cornhole and a pool table. It's a gorgeous setting to waste an afternoon away. There's also plenty of memorabilia to check out, whether you're a long time fan or a new one. There's also a lovely shop offering well-curated hockey and wine themed merchandise for sale. We happen to be visiting during Happy Hour on the patio, which is from 3 pm to 5 pm, Sunday to Friday. There's a limited menu available only on the patio section. There's a lovely upstairs tasting room as well, which is where we bought our wine tasting flight and had to bring it down to the patio ourselves. Happy Hour eats: * Burratini Cheese Platter $18 - The dish was not great. The grilled naan bread was not a great choice for the cheese. And the smoked pineapple mint and cucumber salsa didn't do anything for the burratini. * Firecracker Calamari $20 - Definitely a plate for sharing. * Hasselback Smoked Kielbasa $16 - Enjoyable with the whisky mustard and pickle kraut. * Red Onion Rings $12 - This was also a dish for sharing. It was only okay though. Overall, the food was only okay. The wine was fine and the cocktails were enjoyable. The space is gorgeous though and worth a visit alone.
