Pillitteri Estates Winery

Pillitteri Estates Winery grows grapes at Niagara-on-the-Lake, in the Niagara Peninsula appellation. It dates its founding to 1993.

Where it sits

Pillitteri Estates Winery is at Niagara-on-the-Lake, inside Niagara Peninsula — one of the three appellations of origin recognised under Ontario's VQA system. What that claim means on a label, and how the boundary is defined in regulation, is set out on the regions page.

What it grows

The winery works with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Gewurztraminer, Vidal, Shiraz, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, Sangiovese and Semillon.

Each of those has a page here on how it behaves in Ontario: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches at harvest, and which parts of the province actually plant it.

Visiting

'Winery Retail Hours 11am to 7pm'; 'We offer tours and tasting experiences daily. A tasting includes a flight of 4 wines.'

Also in Niagara Peninsula: Queenston Mile Vineyard, Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery. The full list is on the Ontario wineries page.
