Team Homan and Pillitteri Estates Winery Launch Premium Team Homan Wines Collection
Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON – September 15, 2025 – Pillitteri Estates Winery, the Official Wine Partner of the Canadian Olympic Team, and Team Homan, one of the world’s most decorated curling teams, are proud to announce the launch of Team Homan Wines, a premium four-bottle collection that blends championship spirit with Canadian winemaking excellence.
This collaboration is about craftsmanship. Each wine in the collection connects curling strategy and identity with refined, world-class winemaking. From bold reds to a luxurious Icewine, the lineup reflects the team’s precision, passion, and pursuit of excellence.
The Team Homan Wines collection includes:
The Guarded Red: A structured, Cabernet Franc–forward Cabernet Merlot that embodies bold confidence, mirroring skip Rachel Homan’s strength and strategic vision.
The Club Rosé: A graceful Pinot Grigio–Pinot Noir blend, playful yet elegant, reflecting Emma Miskew’s charisma and quiet dominance.
The House White: An aromatic white blend balancing brightness and depth, a nod to Sarah Wilkes’ precision and versatility.
The Final Stone – Reserve Vidal Icewine: A rare, barrel-aged Icewine symbolizing Tracy Fleury’s calm mastery and line calling under pressure and the team’s golden moments on the world stage.
"This collection is about more than putting our names on bottles. Each wine tells a story—about our team, our sport, and what it means to compete at the highest level," said Rachel Homan, skip of Team Homan. "We wanted wines that fans, collectors, and wine lovers alike will be proud to enjoy and share."
For Pillitteri Estates Winery, this partnership continues a proud tradition of celebrating Canadian excellence. As the Official Wine Partner of the Canadian Olympic Team, Pillitteri has long supported athletes who embody discipline, heritage, and the pursuit of greatness.
"Working with Team Homan was a natural fit," said Charles Pillitteri, CEO of Pillitteri Estates Winery. "Like us, they represent Canadian pride, family values, and global ambition. This collection is a tribute to both the sport of curling and the artistry of Niagara winemaking."
The Team Homan Wines collection will be available in late October 2025 at Pillitteri Estates Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake and online at www.pillitteri.com.
