We had the pear, chutney, grilled cheese sandwich, which was freshly prepared and quite delicious. I enjoyed that again with a salad with dressing on the side. I haven't had a grilled cheese in a while, and this was a great lunch option. I would highly recommend stopping by to enjoy the beautiful space, some lawn games, a wine flight, or some lunch.

Usually I buy a bottle or two from each vineyard we visit both to support their efforts and to take a second taste while not overlooking vines. Food wise we kept it simple and shared a Canadian Flatbread with mozzarella cheese, crispy bacon, pepperoni, and mushrooms. Hit the spot. Ridge Road Winery is well worth a visit if in the area. This would also be a nice spot to hold a private event.

We chose their new Sparkling Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Rose. The Sparkling was so nice and smooth, I could have drank the whole bottle right there. We bought a bottle for home at only $25. The Cab was also really good. Their two story showroom/bar is made of stained wood and looks amazing. Lots of space here and lots of bottles on display. There's a place upstairs that they use for tastings. The staff member, Monica, was so friendly and welcoming to us. She described the wine making process and how the blends work in detail; she really knows her stuff! What a great experience, and we look forward to coming back to sample more and have a meal at their restaurant.

We were greeted by Naomi at the bar. ,she asked how she could help us and we said we'd like to get a tasting. She showed us our options and we signed up for three. A Lady brought them to our table with a sheet stating which was which. They didn't have any descriptions of any of the wines, no notes, or flavor profiles. This was disappointing. We just picked based on names, without being able to see if it lived up to what the winemaker expected. In any case, we got the three tastings. They were tasty and good, but we opted not to purchase any. The grounds are nice. This was our Least favorite winery taste wise and socially. Naomi was nice, but wasn't who served us. We didn't get much insight into the wine and there were no notes. This is why the 3 stars.

Continuing alphabet series representing 2025, P is for Peller Estates Winery. My girlfriend & I…read morevisited Niagara Falls & Toronto in June 2025. We drove up to Niagara-on-the-Lake as I had good things about that area. I asked a local what wineries recommended and was told about Peller. There are about 40 wineries to choose from in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and Peller Estates ended up being an excellent one. We drove up to a large estate with fields. Bartender was friendly. We asked about wine tastings. Bartender mentioned how Canada has ice wine, which American wineries don't have. She let us sample it to see if we liked, which we did and opted to just get the ice wine. Wow, that was a delicious white wine! I wish we had that in the US. But in general, much of the US climate is too warm for ice wine. The grapes are out there to freeze solid. Ice wine needs to be picked below 18 F (-8 C). In Maryland where I live, winter can get cold, but it's inconsistent, some years barely any days below 18 F in Baltimore. Ideally, you want multiple days in a row for a more sustained freeze instead of rushing out for the few hours it might get down to 15 F. On the flip side, it can be too cold in northern Minnesota (where it easily gets below 5 F or -15 C often, which is the lower temp limit) or upstate NY. Also, heavy lake effect snow like that often occurs in Buffalo is problematic. It's a specific microclimate of the Niagara peninsula near Lake Ontario, where it gets cold but not extremely cold too often, not many heavy snowfalls. In the US, near Lake Erie is the sweet spot for ice wine in southwest NY, northern PA, & northeastern OH. Also, northern Michigan near Great Lakes as well as the Finger Lakes region of NY. The lakes moderate the temperatures in the winter if winery is positioned south of the lake, but needs to also be in an area not prone to be slammed by heavy Lake Effect snows like Buffalo. We wanted to sit on the outside, but there was a private event being setup. We sat at a nice table inside the beautiful estate. Afterward, we brought our glasses back to the bartender thanking her and saying the ice wine was excellent. She took the glasses back and said here are 2 clean glasses to take with you thanking us for our visit. This was an excellent experience. Highly recommend a visit to Peller Estates!

Sampled a champagne style wine. Stop 2. Balcony overlooking vineyard. the guide told us one type of grapes on the left another type on the right. Two more types behind the building. Sampled a white wine. Stop 3. Barrel room. Short discussion of barrel aging and coopering. Sample cheap blended red wine. Pretty underwhelming so far. Stop 4. Ice room, set to -10 degrees. Room furniture is made from ice. Room is cool, literally and figuratively. Probably the justification for the high tour price. Small sample of cheapest ice wine they sell. Tour ends in the store, what a surprise. I asked to try a different version of the ice wine, tried it, liked it, decided to buy a bottle. Note this was a bit more expensive than the cheap wine we tried. I asked to try a Gamay red wine, tried it, liked it, decided to buy a bottle. Note this was a more expensive than the cheap red wine we tried. I asked to try a different version of the red wine, but this time a different lady said I had to pay $7 for the 1 ounce sample. She also seemed to want to charge me for the previous two 1 ounce samples. I did try it and liked it, and decided to buy a bottle. Note this was even a bit more expensive than the previous wine i bought. Two issues with their sampling pricing. 1. It works out to about $35-40 a glass for a normal glass. that's a lot. 2. Why does the customer have to pay to try a wine they might want to buy. The tour only shows cheap wines so it does not show off any really good, or more pricey, wines. Seem like short sighted marketing to me. Conclusion = over priced tourist trap.

My two adult children have celiac disease, and the venue had been informed in advance that they required gluten-free meals. We were assured by the bride that they would receive gluten-free pasta. Instead, when everyone else was served pasta, my sons were given only salad. When I spoke with staff, I was told gluten-free pasta was not part of the contract and that none was available. I even offered to pay for an alternative meal myself, but the request was refused. Later, after dinner was essentially over and most of the table had been cleared, two bowls of gluten-free pasta suddenly appeared, suggesting there had been a misunderstanding that could have been resolved much earlier. No apology was offered. There was also an issue where several guests at our table did not receive any salad because too little was served, and when I politely raised the concern, the response was dismissive and unprofessional. Mistakes can happen at any venue, but how they are handled matters. What should have been a joyful family celebration was overshadowed by poor communication, a lack of accommodation for guests with a serious medical dietary requirement, and a disappointing level of customer service.
