The view of Peller Estates from the winding driveway takes one’s breath away, but nothing stirs the heart more than the Wine Garden and gently sloping vineyards outside the restaurant’s giant French doors.

For a more sensuous experience, Estate Whites - Uncovering Aroma allows couples to learn to recognize the aromas and essences in fresh white wines.

Sunnybrook Farm Estate Winery is located in an orchard setting on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. This unique winery produces wine made from Niagara tree fruit and berries. The peaceful rural setting offers seasonal views of beautiful blossoms and fruit laden trees. The real treat, however, is enjoying the wine. Couples won't find anything more romantic than the winery's limited edition Chocolate Embrace, an exquisite union of beguiling blueberries and charismatic chocolate. If this wine is sold out when you visit, there are many more sensuous selections to tempt your sweetheart, including peach, pear, cherry, raspberry, and strawberry wines, as well as hard cider.

The story of Pillitteri Estates Winery is one of true love. A Sicilian cart is featured prominently in the winery's reception area. Called a carretto, this cherished family heirloom is intricately painted with scenes of Pillitteri ancestors and represents the history of a family whose roots run deep in the cultivation of the land and the making of wine. To hear the tale of Gary and Lena Pillitteri’s love for each other and their children is to understand how this family built one of the most successful Icewine producing wineries in Niagara. Couples will also delight in a mysterious twist of family fate in the barrel cellar. But only if they ask…

Once the wine tasting is done, try a quiet stroll along the Niagara River or a relaxing couples massage. Or spend some intimate time alone in one of the many choices of cozy and romantic accommodations in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
