Palatine Hills Estate Winery
More than 30 years ago, owners John and Barbara Neufeld saw the immense potential of their 95-hectare Niagara Lakeshore property. Situated in the fruit belt, the vineyard first grew grapes for consumption before the family turned its focus to winemaking. Today, Palatine Hills Estate Winery is truly a family affair, with two generations of Neufelds sharing their passion for winemaking and continuing to produce award-winning wines enjoyed by many.
Pillitteri Estates Winery
Since arriving in Niagara, Canada in 1948, the Pillitteri family has been committed to creating a legacy for generations to follow. Now, over six decades later, Pillitteri Estates Winery proudly continues a family tradition of viticulture and winemaking excellence.

All while you taste through some of their most popular wines where they are made, including on their production facility mezzanine and in the barrel cellar. Following the tour, allow one of their wine experts to help you choose the wines you will love to take home.
