The Winery
I have been to Peller several times already, usually at least once a year (Niagara-on-the-late, or NOTL, is a no brainer place for a day getaway for us Torontonians). Peller is one of the grandeur and better known wineries along with Niagara region. The winery offers multiple wine tours in a day, and have a large wine store. The winery is a family owned business, which was started by a Hungarian immigrant named Andrew Peller, but has since grown in fame and reputation. Peller Estate wines are now featured in many Ontario liquor stores (LCBO).

| Peller Estate Winery in the summer |
If you are new to the NOTL region, definitely make this one of the stops. I would recommend making this trek in the summer, as there is definitely more to see before the snow hits.
When it comes to wine, I love their Ice Curvee Rose. It is one of the few wines that I actually enjoy drinking (I'm a picking wine drinker). Overall, I would say that Peller is one of the more expensive winery in the region, but they are also the best known, so some of the premium is based on brand. The Winery includes a large wine store with a bar in the middle, where wine tasting is available.
