One of the wineries owned by Peller Estates is Sandhill. Located in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Sandhill focuses on producing single-vineyard wines that truly express the terroir of the region. I have had the opportunity to taste their Chardonnay and was impressed by its elegant notes of citrus and oak. The commitment to quality and showcasing the distinctiveness of each vineyard is evident in every bottle.
Another notable winery owned by Peller Estates is Trius Winery. Situated in the heart of Ontario's Niagara-on-the-Lake region, Trius is known for its world-class sparkling wines and Bordeaux-style red blends. I have had the pleasure of visiting Trius Winery and experiencing their exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. The tour of their vineyards and cellar was enlightening, and the tasting of their wines was truly memorable.
Wayne Gretzky Estates is also owned by Peller Estates. Named after the legendary Canadian ice hockey player, this winery is located in the Niagara Peninsula. Wayne Gretzky Estates produces a wide range of wines, from crisp and refreshing whites to bold and robust reds. I had the pleasure of trying their Cabernet Merlot blend, which had rich flavors of blackcurrant and spice.

Located in Kelowna, Calona Vineyards is known for its diverse range of wines, including varietals such as Pinot Gris, Shiraz, and Merlot.

Thirty Bench Wine Makers, located in the Beamsville Bench area of the Niagara Peninsula, is also owned by Peller Estates. This winery specializes in small-lot, premium wines, with a focus on Riesling and other cool-climate varietals. I have had the opportunity to taste their Riesling, which had vibrant acidity and intense flavors of lime and green apple.
Lastly, Tinhorn Creek is another winery owned by Peller Estates.
