    This should be on your must see stops in Niagara Falls. The monastery church is beautiful and dedicated to St. Theresa. We bought a bottle of Ice Wine for a future special occasion in the gift shop. You can actually do wine testing there as well. Our visit was a much needed relief from the touristy sections of Niagara Falls.

    Did the wine tasting. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable on the wines. Was able to try three different wines. Wine prices were reasonable.

    Came here for lunch with my wife and my in-laws and overall had a nice experience with a few…read moredisappointing aspects. There was plenty of parking right in front, and the views of the building and vineyard were absolutely beautiful. We were greeted warmly by the hostess when we arrived, and when we requested a table in the shade, she gladly accommodated us. The service throughout lunch was excellent. My wife has a tree nut allergy, and our waitress made sure to inform the kitchen so my wife could safely enjoy her meal without worry, which we really appreciated. We ordered two pizzas and two charcuterie boards. Unfortunately, the charcuterie boards were very overpriced for what was included: each board only had 8 thin slices of salami, 8 thin slices of capicola, a small bowl of olives, and a few small pieces of cheese. Two boards came to roughly $70 before tax, which definitely did not feel worth the price. The prosciutto and arugula pizza was also VERY dry, and surprisingly they didn't even have balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar available for it. Another waitress brought over some olive oil, but then charged us $3 for it, which honestly didn't sit right considering we explained how dry the pizza was. The location, atmosphere, and service were wonderful, but the food quality and pricing left a lot to be desired. We usually just come here for wine, but we won't be returning.

    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!

    Start with price. $48 per person for a four stop tour. About twice the going rate for wine tours in…read morethe region. Tour Stop 1. Conference room where we got a short history from the guide. 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.

Accompany with the cheese balls, it's perfect for snack or light lunches. The winery is very welcoming with garden beds of roses , including many rare, find varieties.

We arrived and were greeted nicely and sat by a window with beautiful views. Brian took care of us in a big way, Elbe was super informative and fun. The wines were from good to aceptable, the sparkling Blanc the Blanc one of our favorite and the Merlot was pretty good too. My least favorite was the Gamay Noir. The Riesling was not bad but unexpressive... At the very end we got to tried the 2020 Chateau des Charmes EQUULEUS which I like, it's more of a dry and complex wine but not an easy drink so it might not be for everyone. The ICE-wines were very good, I guess this is what they are really know for. At least that what this region is able to do well. Concluding, service by Brian top notch, sparkling wines good, other wines aceptable and the ice wines very good.
