Our Story

Five dollars and a dream

In March 1927, twenty-four-year-old Andrew Peller sailed into Halifax with five dollars in his pocket. While he had plenty of time to think about his future during the long journey from Hungary aboard the R.M.S. Ausonia, finding his definitive calling in a land of such great opportunity would take time.

It wasn’t until years later, when he planted his first vineyards in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, that his ultimate dream would take root: he would create a culture across the country where Canadians, much like Europeans, would appreciate and share quality wines with family and friends.

Family matters

At the age of 58, thirty-four years after arriving in Canada, Andrew Peller’s modest Okanagan vineyard inspired a vision for the entire family and he opened wineries in British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. As the business flourished in 1966, Andrew’s son Joe, then Chief of Medicine for Hamilton Civic Hospitals, left behind his successful career in medicine to join his father in the family business.

The dream inspires a new generation. In 1989, Andrew’s grandson, John, became the third generation to continue the family’s legacy of creating truly world-class wines and winery experiences for Canadians to enjoy with family and friends. An ever-growing collection of national and international wine awards and over 280,000 visitors to the winery each year are a testament to the power of a timeless vision, an unfaltering commitment to family, and a country that allows the dreams of newcomers to take flight.

The Andrew Peller team takes great pride in having operated for four generations as a family-owned Canadian company. It’s a legacy that reminds us that above all else, family matters.
