Third-generation brothers Johnny and Charles Neufeld are now leading Palatine Hills Estate Winery with the same maverick spirit as their father.

Come enjoy their award-winning wines surrounded by vines, off the beaten path. “We’re made for the wild, and with wine, we’re never lost.”

Experience wine country at the ultimate wine and food lover’s playground. Offering unique experiences daily, including Niagara’s only igloo-like lounge where you’ll taste Icewine at -10°C, the harvest temperature of our Icewine grapes.
