family owned and operated boutique winery located on
30 acres of pastoral farmland alongside the winding
banks of the Serpentine River in South Surrey. Planted
in a gem of a microclimate, the winery’s 15 acre
yields many grape varieties. The grapes are grown using
natural farming methods, the wines gently handcrafted
and bottled at their peak to preserve their delicate

Township
7 Vineyards & Winery, Langley:
The vines at Township 7 were planted in the spring of
2000 and the winery opened for business in July of 2001.
In the fall of 2003, a second vineyard property was
purchased on the Naramata Bench. Two acres of grape
vines were planted on the seven acre property in the
spring of 2004, and additional vines planted in 2005.
The combined production facility and tasting room was
completed and opened in the summer of 2004, and offers
visitors the opportunity to see the workings of the
winery first hand.
The
Langley wine shop is housed in the beautiful south Langley
countryside in a quaint building reminiscent, on the
outside, of the many riding stables in the neighbourhood.
Aside from the vineyards in Langley and on the Naramata
Bench, grapes for the wines are grown in the Oliver
area of British Columbia, a world-renowned location
for growing grapes for the more full-bodied Merlots,
Cabernet Sauvignons, Syrahs and Chardonnays that Township
7 produces. Township 7 was purchased from founders Corey
and Gwen Coleman on June 1, 2006. Township 7 Vineyards
and Winery’s offerings include Un-Oaked Chardonnay,
a barrel aged Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon,
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon,
Syrah, a method traditionelle sparkling wine made from
50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir, and a late harvest
dessert wine. Township 7 focuses on the production of
small lots of high quality wines made from carefully
chosen grapes from the Okanagan Valley and from vineyards
in Langley and Penticton. This family owned and operated
winery is committed to creating exceptional wines that
are complex, flavourful and well balanced. www.township7.com
Domaine
De Chaberton Estate Winery, Langley:
Domaine de Chaberton Estate Winery is located on 55
acres amongst the rolling hills of south Langley, British
Columbia just 45 minutes from Vancouver, B.C. They are
the largest and oldest winery in the Fraser Valley.
In 1975, Claude and Inge Violet, having sold their winery
and vineyard in France decided to start afresh in the
New World. The pioneer spirit was not new to the Violet
blood line as Claude’s family had been in the
wine business since 1644. After visiting California,
Ontario and the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia,
Claude and Inge purchased the land where the present
site of the Domaine de Chaberton and the Bacchus Bistro
are located.
Their
wines have won numerous awards in wine competitions
held throughout Canada, the United States and Europe.
Chaberton’s 2003 Canoe Cove Shiraz was chosen
by a select panel as one of only 11 B.C. wines to receive
the Lieutenant Governor General's 2006 Award of Excellence
in British Columbia wines. The 2004 Canoe Cove Chardonnay
recently won a Double Gold at the 2006 All Canadian
Wine Competition held in Ontario. www.domainedechaberton.com
Blackwood
Lane Vineyards & Winery, Langley:
Blackwood Lane Vineyards & Winery is the creation
of Carlos Lee and Winemaker Charles Herrold. Their goal
was simple, to produce wines that lived up to their
high standards and expectations. Their philosophy is
summarized in the Company’s motto: “Bonus
Vita et Bonus Amici” (Good Life and Good Friends).
As wine lovers, they realized that people in the Greater
Vancouver area had to travel to the Okanagan Valley
in order to acquire great wine, so they decided to bring
the wine to them.
Accordingly,
they set up the winery in the heart of the Fraser Valley
wine corridor, only minutes from Vancouver. It is on
12.2 acres of the most beautiful land in the area, with
south facing slopes. Great wines require great grapes
and therefore they secured the best grapes of the Okanagan
Valley (Wine Spectator October 2002). This, combined
with 19 years of winemaking experience with uncompromised
quality, create wines that they are proud to share with
friends and fellow wine lovers.
Finish at Eagle Wind and spend an hour in the pool and
hot tub before driving home.
