Itinerary
Wine and whisky production may be a world away from the hockey rink, but there are some surprising similarities between the way Wayne Gretzky played and coached the game and Niagara’s only destination winery and distillery. There is the same commitment to greatness. The understanding that it takes a team of truly passionate players to create world-class results. And the belief that a loonie buried in the ice can always bring a little extra luck.
Peller Estates has been crafting quality wines for Canadians for over 50 years. Whether poured around the dinner table at home, or enjoyed during an immersive wine and culinary experience at our award-winning Niagara-on-the-Lake winery, there is no greater honour than when our wines are shared with family and friends. That appreciation for the sense of connection between wine, family and friends has grown over four generations since Andrew Peller first came to Canada. Our company’s founder arrived with a dream of creating a culture across the country, where, much like in Europe, premium-quality wines were appreciated and enjoy amongst family and friends.
Trius Winery is a Canadian winemaking pioneer that has been crafting fine VQA wines from premium grapes for over 40 years. Nestled between the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario, we harvest our grapes from four Niagara-on-the-Lake appellations to create distinctive varietals that reflect our region’s unique taste of place.

John was an excellent tour guide, fun and informative. I really enjoyed the wineries as well. Recommend it for any visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Pat was absolutely amazing! We had such a blast on our wine tour and would recommend to everyone! We cannot wait to come back! Thank you for making our tour memorable! Jess and Dustin.. honeymooners
Our diver and guide Vito was great! He is very experience with the area and answered all of our questions with some great information.
Donna was amazing, she kept us punctual while also taking photos for us in the best spots. Her knowledge of all the wineries was immense and we really appreciated her upbeat spirit. Thank you Donna :) We had a tour guide at 2 of the wineries, David and Louis and both were very passionate, informed and personable! Happy we booked with this company!
Our tour guide Mark was excellent very knowledgeable and not just about wine but the area too. Our tour was of Peller, Gretzky and Trius. Peller was great, Gretzky the services was so slow and Trius our guide was excellent.
Our tour guide Donna was fantastic. She has lots of knowledge of the area. Very fun day. Donna was punctual and accommodating.
Really enjoyed this wine tour. Margaret, our tour guide, gave us a lot of information on the area. Pellar Winery gave us a fantastic tour telling about both the red and white wine production. We tasted our ice wine in an actual ice bar. We tasted more wine as well as whiskey, vodka, gin and brandy at Gretzky's Winery and Distillery. At Truis Winery we were given another detailed tour with tastings concentratied on sparkling wines. Would recommend this tour.
The tour was nice but the a/c was not working in the vehicle and it was very hot that day. They didn’t compensate us for that. Also if you have a car there’s only really one stop. So there was no need to pay the extra for transportation. Also at the last stop of our tour our tour guy Gary was being very rude to my friend when she talk taking pictures. The other tour guide said it was okay but he yelled at my friend and it very rude and unprofessional. Although I did enjoy the experience I wouldn’t buy this tour guide again I would purchase them separately and drive there myself.
Such a great day, right from a knowledgeable driver Randy , to our expect tour guide Johnny. We all thoroughly enjoyed our day of tasting new wines and learning the process of how wine is made. We will definitely be returned and we highly recommend you use this tour company.
This is a must do if you’re in the Niagara Falls area! From start to finish this was a 5 star tour. The tour started with an hour of free time in Old Town Niagara By The Lake, where we did some shopping at the cute local shops. Then we visited three different wineries in the area. The icing on The cake was our amazing driver Dave. He shared the history of the area, he was on time with picking us up at every location, and he made sure we were taken care at every drop off. I could go on and on, bottom line we had a great time!
We booked the My Wine Country Experience to Peller Estates, Wayne Gretzky Estates and Trius Winery. The Mercedes van was clean and comfortable, and our driver/guide Dave was great - on-time, knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the tour!
We had so much fun on this tour! Thank you so much to Donna she did a fantastic job and we will definitely visit wine country again!
This was a great way to see some of Niagara on the Lake and visit wineries. Dave was the best! He shared knowledge of the area and wineries, checked us in at each winery and even got us a tour at Peller since it was a slower day. The tastings were nice and there were options to purchase cheese and crackers and other snacks with tastings. All were good, would love to return for a meal at Peller. Try the cream whiskies at Gretzky Definitely recommend the tour.
Enjoyed the wineries. Especially the tour at Trios. Tour guide was interactive. Convenient pick up at hotel with frequent updates.
We loved it. All the estates were beautiful and our driver Dave was so nice and awesome. The ice bar was awesome.
Our driver was very nice and accommodating. Your description of the tour is vague. I read this as a tour for each location. Also, the reviews lead me to believe this was three tours. It was one tour, that was fantastic and two tastings that were useless. Our group was put in a separate area with wait staff that just brought out our tasting. No description of the wines, no choice of wine and no history about the winery. My group has been on many wine tours in several states and this was very disappointing.
We had a great time. It was me and my wife, and another couple whom we didn’t know. Our driver was Dave, and he made the trip what it was, which was fantastic. He picked us up and immediately disp;aged his sense of humor. He told us aboth the area, and we came to know him, and it felt like we had known him for years. He got us in on a great wine tour of Peller Estates. Highly recommended tour, especially if you can get Dave as a driver. You’ll never forget it.
Such an amazing time! We booked last minute and Dave was so accommodating. He kept us all entertained and had such a fun personality!
The winerys were such fun!! Lots of tasting time!! The Ice Wine at Peller's Eatate Winery was the HIT of the day!!
3 wineries included, all 3 different experiences! Since it was only myself and my friend on the tour bus, we really got the red carpet! So much fun at Pellier winery in part due to the tour we were able to join. It was a rainy cold day but we didn't care! Highly recommend!
Tour was unmatched in quality and service!! Our driver, Mark, made the trip!! Great experience!! Highly recommended!!
Our tour guide was nice however it was not worth $300 for two people. I travel often and use tour companies every time and always a 10/10 but not this time. I advise to use social media to see which wineries are the best and go that route, a lot cheaper!
Our guide Mark was awesome. The 3 wineries were great. Loved the below zero room. Big fans of Wayne Gretzky’s cream drinks and whiskey.
A most enjoyable afternoon. Our package was a guided tour of Peller Estates Winery with tastings at Trius and Wayne Gretzky’s distillery and winery. Our driver/guide Mark, was fantastic!! He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We really enjoyed our tour.
Everything was really good. Our guide was the absolute best, very knowledgeable and just a really fun guy!
We had a great time! Our guide Dave was fantastic and ensured we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend Dave and take another tour with him!
My husband and I had a great time on this wine tour. Mark was punctual, extremely friendly and informative. Best wine tour we have been on yet! Emily's tour at Peller Estates Winery was very informative and enjoyable. Loved their wine and ice wine. We enjoyed the wine at Trius and wine and food at Wayne Gretzky Estates. We will be back Mark!!
Met a lovely couple on our tour, had a great time with them. Karen our tour guide was amazing, informative and fun to be with. She made the tour completely enjoyable. Would do it again. Had a great time.
Karen is the best! Picked us up right on time in a nice clean van. Knows the area and told us the history of landmarks that we passed on the way to Niagara on the lake. The tastings and tours were enjoyable and Karen promptly picked us up at each stop at the scheduled time. Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon and would book again with this company!
It was nice. Pellers was our favourite, it was beautiful inside and out. The tour was fun! Trius could have been better, nothing there except sitting in a small dark loft and no tour. Gretzky’s is a beautiful place, I wish there was a tour but at least the sitting area fresh, bright and comfortable. Our shuttle driver was amazing!!
This is our second tour that we have done with this company. Last year we did the Something for everyone tour which was also a great tour to try. Mark was our tour guide for both this tours we have done in the past 2 years. Has been great both times very knowledgeable and friendly he has made the tours that much better. Everything about the experience was great from hotel pick up and drop off to the visits to Peller estates, Trius and Wayne Gretzky’s. We will definitely be back to try more tours they have to offer in the future.
Tour was fun and wineries were informative and served plenty of good wine, whiskey and experience. Wine country is beautiful and deserves a full day. Jeanie was a great host and vehicles were new and clean.
Wonderful highlight for our Niagara trip! Our guide, Mark, was knowledgeable, right on time, always found us so we didn't need to search, and so friendly, keeping conversation flowing. Pellar was our favorite stop with the tour and beautiful grounds with Gretzky a close 2nd for the alternative options of spirits.
Karen was an excellent tour guide who made sure we made it to our destinations on time & gave us tons of useful information. At Peller Estates, Kylie gave us a tour around the grounds of the winery which was also very informative and thoroughly enjoyable. Would do again!
We booked last minute (same day) - so happy with our decision. Wineries were lovely, we enjoyed Bre at Peller Estates. Her enthusiasm and knowledge was appreciated. Dave was a gem. Loved him from the start. Well done thank you for a great day!
our tour guide Mark Thompson was awesome! He was extremely knowledgable about the history of the area. He had a great sense of humour and was very friendly. The van was comfortable, very spacious, and clean. It was an amazing tour, Peller Estates, was the longest of the three with a full explanation of the process and tastings. The other two, Trius and Wayne Gretzky were more of a wine tasting only where we had the opportunity to sit, chat & get to know the people on the tour with us. All of the wineries/ distillery were great. We made new friends and definitely have wonderful memories to look upon. Highly recommend, an afternoon very well spent.
We enjoyed our tour guide Karen. We loved meeting other couples and sharing a few drinks. It was a great way to spend the day.
Everything was great, wish we had more time. Karen you as awesome ! Great knowledge of the area. 10 year anniversary trip we are glad we tried it.
It was a lovely tour! K had a bank of knowledge. Was very accommodating and got us to our destinations with humour! Thank you for being a great tour guide Much appreciated 🤗 JC
This is a Top Notch tour. Our host did a great job ensuring that we had the best experience possible.
Don’t let the name Distillery fool you!!! These guys know wine tours!! First off were able to get us in last minute… Driver was very knowledgeable about the wineries and the area the wineries were in. We went to three very well known wineries and they were great had plenty of time at each winery. Would highly recommend.
Excellent tour! Our tour guide Mark was friendly, full of knowledge of the area and accommodating! We would for sure book with this tour company again and totally worth the money! Ask for Mark he is the best and all of the wineries were awesome 👏
Karen was an amazing tour guide - so much fun and so knowledgeable about the history of the area!!!!
So much fun! Our tour guide Karen was super welcoming, upbeat and funny. The wineries were all very different experiences- the tour at Peller Estates was fantastic and loved the history behind it. The whisky tasting at Wayne Gretzky was a nice way to end the tour and the Server at Trius was very knowledgeable and helpful for us beginners.
This was such an amazing experience and the highlight of our trip. The ice room at Peller Estates is something to see. We had to change our date and the folks at Brewery and Distillery Tours we so accommodating. Karen, our tour guide, was made to do this! She went above and beyond and was so knowledgeable about the wineries and the history of the area. Absolutely amazing! We would do this again!
Winery tours where goods. We did not get to see the ice room at peller. Tour was ok, driver made you feel rushed and behind even though he was late and behind🤨.
Great experience over all. Even a little extras thrown in at the last minute that were not expected. Our Guide was excellent.
Amazing tour, great opportunity to try and be educated about wines beer and whisky and their pairing. Great opportunity to meet like minded friends. Marc our operator was amazing and friendly.
My sister and I had the opportunity to take a wine tour and we are SO happy we chose the Compromise Tour by Brewery & Distillery Tours Niagara. We had the most amazing afternoon! Being from Edmonton the Wayne Gretzky Estates stop was “the Great One”! We had the best time there! Tastings at Trius and Peller were the cherry on top. From the moment our driver, Dave, promptly picked us up until we sadly had to say goodbye; Dave took care of us. He made sure we enjoyed every minute at each winery. We will definitely book this tour again if we ever make it back to The Falls AND we will ask for Dave! Thank you Dave and Brewery & Distillery Tours Niagara for the most wonderful memories (and wine!) we get to take back home.
