Toronto Trip — Niagara Ice Wine Tasting 🍷❄️

Toronto Trip — Experience ice wine tasting at Peller Estates Winery And Restaurant. Canada’s ice wine is world-renowned, and over 70% of the country's ice wine is produced in Ontario. Niagara-on-the-Lake is one of the key wine-producing regions. 🍇🇨🇦 The process of making ice wine is quite intricate. For instance, grapes must be harvested when the temperature has been below -8°C for at least three consecutive days—missing even a single day can spoil the batch. The phrase “concentration is essence” perfectly describes ice wine. 🌨️🍇 Peller Estates is one of the well-known wineries in Niagara-on-the-Lake, specializing in ice wine and other wines. I participated in their single-tasting event (available on their website, ranging from $15 to $50 per person, and requires advance booking). During this experience, a guide takes you through the winery, explaining the wines you’re tasting and sharing knowledge about wine and ice wine production as well as local culture. 🏛️🍷 From touring the vineyards to learning about the winemaking process and visiting the wine cellars, and finally tasting ice wine in their dedicated tasting room, each step offers a deeper understanding of what makes ice wine and wine so special. 🏞️🥂 Drinking ice wine at -10°C in the tasting room is a unique experience—though it’s cold, the wine is absolutely delightful and doesn’t give you a hangover. ❄️🍾 #NiagaraIceWine #Toronto #WineTasting #CanadianWines
