While I was visiting the wineries at the Niagara-on-the-lake region, I came across this classy restaurant at the Peller Estates Winery. The exterior of the building looks like an estate with great view to their vineyard. Chef Jason Parsons works with winemaker Lawrence Buhler to bring the best of Food and Drinks to their visitors. The menu itself changes every season. The good thing about eating at a vineyard is that great wine straight-from-the-barrel can be paired with the great food. The setting is modern and bright with a warm fireplace in the centre of the dining hall. Great fine dining experience!
