Do you need to get out of the house this weekend?! Well, start the car and head out to enjoy a scenic drive through the Fraser Valley and stop at some of the best wineries in the region!
Just a short 45 minutes from Vancouver, the Fraser Valley is home to over 40 wineries. Yes, 40! The drive through the Fraser Valley is beautiful with farms, orchards and vineyards lining the road. Pack a picnic, bring a blanket and pull over to the side of a quiet road for a tailgate and to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the Valley. Trust me, you’ll feel like for a few hours you’ve escaped to wine country!
Below, I put together an easy-to-follow DIY Langley Winery Tour with three wineries that are minutes within each other and are offering curb side pickup making it easy and convenient to buy wine and fill your at-home cellar! Take it one step further and plan your own wine tasting when you get home with my recommendations below. I personally selected three of my favourite wines from each winery for you to purchase and enjoy at home. Pair that with a cheese/charcuterie platter and you are set for a romantic night in.
