Team Homan Wines Officially Launches with Pillitteri Estates Winery
Available Now for Curling Clubs and Fans Across The World
Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON - December 9, 2025 - Pillitteri Estates Winery, the Official Wine Partner of the Canadian Olympic Team, and Team Homan, Team Canada at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, are proud to launch the Team Homan Wine Collection. This premium four-bottle collection celebrates Canadian excellence both on the ice and in the vineyard.
First announced in late summer 2025, the Team Homan Wines collection is now available through Pillitteri Estates Winery, with exclusive wholesale pricing for curling clubs, restaurants, and licensed venues nationwide. Fans can order online at store.pillitteri.com, with retail expansion planned for grocery stores, convenience stores, and curling clubs across Canada.
"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 / Team Canada. "We wanted wines that fans, collectors, and wine lovers alike will be proud to enjoy and share."
Each wine in the collection reflects both a curling theme and the character of the team’s four players:
The Guarded Red (25 CAD retail)
Cabernet Franc–forward Cabernet Merlot | Bone Dry
Structured, intense, and composed.
Dark fruit, graphite, and spice with a bold finish.
Like a well-placed guard in a championship end, mirroring Homan’s confidence and strategic vision.
The Club Rosé (25 CAD retail)
Pinot Grigio & Pinot Noir Blend | Off-Dry
Fresh and charismatic.
Soft strawberry and citrus with graceful lift and quiet strength.
As elegant and deliberate as a perfect sweep, reflecting Miskew’s charisma and quiet dominance.
The House White (25 CAD retail)
Pinot Grigio & Riesling Blend | Aromatic & Balanced
Floral and citrus notes, crisp acidity, and a textured finish.
A blend with broad appeal and strategic depth.
Like a perfect draw to the button, a nod to Wilkes’ precision and versatility.
The Final Stone – Reserve Vidal Icewine (45 CAD retail)
Barrel-Aged Vidal Icewine | Ultra Premium
Golden and rare. Notes of dried apricot, marmalade, and crème brûlée with oak integration.
A collector’s bottle worthy of the final shot, symbolizing Fleury’s calm mastery and line calling under pressure.

Orders can be arranged through Courtney Verhage (courtney@pillitteri.com), who oversees the winery’s licensee ordering desk.

"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."
With the launch of Team Homan Wines, Pillitteri Estates Winery and Team Homan are offering something distinctly Canadian: world-class craftsmanship inspired by world-class athletes.
