Best deal in town
August 15, 2014I loved that you could buy food to cook on their BBQ's. The wine is delicious and the scenery is beautiful. A real Peele experience. You can ride your bike too!

Friendly staff; enjoyable wine
August 04, 2014I visited the winery and purchased wine for the first time, having seen the grapes on the island during previous visits but never trying the wine. The winery was small and quaint. We took a tour that lasted about 90 minutes, during that time we sampled 5 wines, saw the barrels and tanks where the wine is prepared, and had... more

Tasting tour
August 02, 2014I have always enjoyed Pelee Island wines and visiting the actual winery was an excellent experience. You learn a lot on how the wine is produced and how the grapes are grown. You get a chance to taste many of the wines produced and enjoy a nice lunch. Take your time and enjoy your day while visiting the winery.

Really liked it
July 27, 2014We came over for the day, biked around the island and then ended up at the winery. Sampled some of the wines and then enjoyed the BBQ. They sell you meat and you grill it. Had great angus burgers. A really nice idea and a fun way to do dinner. Just make sure you get there in plenty of time.

The winery is a must-see while on the island
July 23, 2014If you are visiting Pelee Island, the winery tour is a must. The walking tour lasts about 1 1/2 hours with a tasting of 5 wines. Then we listened to a local band, drank wine and grilled meat forour sandwiched. Heather was our tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Definitely something I would do again on the island.

One of the best in the area
July 22, 2014One of the oldest wineries in the area and their quality definitely shows. Yes they make some lower-end stuff but their reserves definitely compete with some of the Niagara wineries. Staff are always great.

Like any other winery
July 22, 2014When arriving at Pelee Island we took the tour in the red mini van. We had a personal tour by a lovely young lady called Heather, she took us to some places that the other tour bus doesn't go to. Heather had so much information to share and didn't rush things so our tour was just under 2 hours. We... more

Ferry Trip
July 15, 2014We took our bikes across to the island on the ferry and took a slow tour of the Island stopping at places of interest and checking out the sights. Went to the winery and toured around and enjoyed a glass of Pelee Pink. Beautiful island and wonderful island

Winery tour interesting for newbies
June 28, 2014Although we had been to several wine tours in Niagara, this was smaller and informative in a down to earth way. It was a walking tour that went around the small winery outdoors and in. It had a short video after, then ended with a tasting of 5 wines. We had to stand through that. Our group was 4 and... more

Ordinary
June 07, 2014We were there in May, and the grapes had died on the vines from a cold snap. The tour was informative, but they should have offered some "grapes" to try even if it means purchasing them from somewhere. There were lots of wines to choose from to purchase. The winery also has bbq's you can use if you bring your... more

Very Cool and Beautiful Winery
June 01, 2014This Winery and Vineyard is one of the prettiest that I have been too. The wines they make and sell there are fantastic. They have something for everyone. A tour of the winery is only $5 per person and it is one of the best things to see on this beautiful island.

Wonderful Tour - Incredible Value! A Must if you visit the Island
September 29, 2013What a wonderful way to spend some time on the Island for wine drinkers and non-wine drinkers alike.

We were given passes for a free winery tour by our B&B hostess. I was surprised to learn that the winery grows serious wine grapes and not the Concords more typical with Lake Erie wines.
The tour and the video were very informative, even though the video is starting to show its age. We tasted 5 wines during the tasting,...

Great wine tour
October 15, 2012Spent a couple of days on Pelee Island in Sept. Before taking the tour we had fun lunch on the grounds. You can cook your own chicken/burger/salmon. The winery tour was interesting and informative. Our group was small so the wine tasting was more to our specific tastes. Ended up purchasing some bottles to take home.

September 23, 2012We really enjoyed the wine tour and tasting at the winery. Pelee Island Winery grows its own grapes on 600 acres on the island so the tour included viewing some of the vineyard, and a description of grape growing in addition to wine making. It was fascinating.
